You may not need a lawyer for every minor claim. But if you were injured, needed medical treatment, missed work, are being blamed for the crash, or the insurance company is delaying, denying, or lowballing your claim, it is worth speaking with an attorney. A good personal injury lawyer can help protect your claim, deal with the insurance company, gather evidence, and pursue the compensation you deserve.

There is no upfront fee to hire Stetson Injury Law for a personal injury case. We work on a contingency fee, which means you do not pay attorney fees unless we recover money for you.

It means our attorney fee is paid from the settlement or recovery at the end of the case. If we do not recover money for you, you do not owe us an attorney fee.

Stetson Injury Law represents injured people in cases involving car crashes, trucking crashes, motorcycle crashes, dog bites, premises liability, slip and fall injuries, wrongful death, and insurance bad faith or unfair claim handling.

Get medical care, report the incident, take photos if you can, gather witness information, keep copies of insurance and medical documents, and avoid giving a recorded statement to the insurance company before speaking with a lawyer. The most important thing is to protect your health first.

You should be careful. Insurance adjusters may seem friendly, but their job is to protect the insurance company’s interests. Before giving a recorded statement, signing forms, or accepting money, it is usually best to speak with an attorney.

Do not sign a release or accept a settlement until you understand the full value of your claim. Once you settle, you usually cannot go back and ask for more money later, even if your injuries get worse or you need more treatment.

The value of a personal injury case depends on many factors, including liability, the severity of your injuries, medical bills, future treatment needs, lost wages, pain and suffering, insurance coverage, and how the injury has affected your life. No lawyer can honestly promise a specific outcome at the beginning of a case.

Some cases resolve in a few months. Others take longer, especially if treatment is ongoing, liability is disputed, the insurance company is unreasonable, or a lawsuit becomes necessary. Our goal is to move your case forward efficiently while making sure we do not settle before we understand the full extent of your damages.

Depending on the facts of your case, you may be able to recover compensation for medical bills, future medical care, lost wages, loss of earning ability, pain and suffering, emotional distress, physical limitations, property damage, and other losses caused by the injury.

You may still have a claim. Idaho law allows injured people to recover compensation in some cases even when they are partially at fault, as long as they are not more responsible than the other party. Fault issues can be complicated, so it is important to speak with a lawyer before assuming you do not have a case.

A pre-existing condition does not automatically prevent you from bringing a personal injury claim. If an accident made a prior condition worse or caused new symptoms, that may still be part of your claim. Insurance companies often try to use pre-existing conditions against injured people, so this is an important issue to handle carefully.

Many injury victims are worried about medical bills and treatment costs. Depending on your situation, there may be options through health insurance, medical payments coverage, liens, letters of protection, or other arrangements. We can help evaluate potential options based on your case.

Most personal injury cases settle before trial. However, some cases require litigation when the insurance company refuses to make a fair offer. Stetson Injury Law prepares each case with the goal of reaching a fair resolution, but we are ready to file suit when necessary.

Insurance bad faith can occur when an insurance company unreasonably delays, denies, or underpays a valid claim. This can happen in first-party claims, such as uninsured motorist claims, underinsured motorist claims, medical payments claims, or property damage claims. If you believe your insurance company is not treating you fairly, we can review the situation.
