Full Spectrum Idaho Personal Injury Law

The Litster Frost legal team has years of experience fighting for clients in virtually every kind of injury case. Some of the most common are:

Car Accidents

According to the Idaho Transportation Department there were 22,134 car crashes in 2014 alone, resulting in 175 fatalities. Another report shows that 52 percent of Idaho’s accidents in 2015 involved aggressive driving. In other words, the majority of accidents in Idaho involved someone who wasn’t driving safely.

If you were injured in an automobile accident that wasn’t your fault, then it is important to learn your rights and responsibilities. A number of factors play into whether the other party was at fault and whether he or she owes you compensation. Such factors include road hazards, driver negligence or tailgating, driving under the influence, ignoring red lights or stop signs, and speeding. These aren’t the only factors, but if the other driver was driving negligently or broke the law, then you may have a personal injury case against that driver. If you do, it is important to bring the action correctly and quickly. This process includes hiring an experienced car accident attorney early on.

Motorcycle Accidents

According to the Idaho Statesman, motorcycle accidents involving another vehicle are a common occurrence in Idaho. If you were injured at the hands of another driver while you were riding your motorcycle, then you may have a case. Don’t assume, however, that you don’t have a case simply because another vehicle was not involved. According to the Idaho Transportation Department, more than half of all fatal motorcycle crashes do not involve another vehicle. If a road or construction zone was unsafe and caused injury to you, then you may be eligible for compensation. Talk to one of our motorcycle accident attorneys or click here to learn more.

Tractor Trailer Accidents

Truck accidents can cause horrible injury, property damage, and fatality. The Idaho Transportation Department reported that single-trailer semi trucks caused 8 fatal crashes, 158 crashes with injuries, and 492 crashes resulting in automobile damage in 2014 alone. Regular trucks, tractors, and double- and triple-trailers also cause a significant number of accidents.

If you were in an accident involving a tractor trailer, the damage can be extreme. There is hope, however, as you may be able to receive compensation for your injuries. A personal injury attorney who is experienced with automobile accidents can help you wade through vehicle laws and build a solid case to gain the compensation to which you are entitled. Learn more about what our truck accident attorneys can do for you.

Medical Malpractice

A vast number of different types of medical malpractice claims exist, making this type of personal injury case extremely confusing to a layperson. Unfortunately, when you don’t understand medical malpractice law, you are generally far less likely to build a case that is strong enough to be awarded compensation.

The nature of your medical malpractice case changes considerably based on who was at fault, what their role was in your case, and more. This is why it is critical to understand the difference between doctor malpractice, hospital malpractice, labor and delivery malpractice, and dozens of other types. Medical malpractice attorneys at Litster Frost have the experience to ascertain the likelihood of a malpractice claim or lawsuit being successful.

Slip-and-Fall Injuries

Property owners that don’t maintain their premises–and even those who do–are liable for injuries which occur on their property. If you were injured on a property that was covered in ice or snow, was significantly uneven or steep, or was in any way dangerous, then you may have a case against the property owner. Slip-and-fall accidents are also a serious problem in indoor locations, especially for elderly people. If you are renting a space or were visiting a property and fell as a result of unsafe conditions, then a personal injury attorney may be able to help you recover the medical expenses incurred so that you can afford the treatment you need and focus on recovery.

Workers’ Compensation

Workers’ compensation coverage is required for most companies by Idaho law and managed by the State of Idaho Industrial Commission. If you were injured at work, then you have a right to workers’ compensation to help cover your medical expenses, physical therapy, time and wages lost from work, insurance copays, out-of-pocket expenses and more.

Injuries at work can come in many forms. While you might think of common injuries being slips, falls, crashes, electrocutions, lost limbs and other trauma as the basis of most workers’ compensation claims, less traumatic injuries also qualify for assistance. If you suffer from back pain as a result of constant bending, lifting, or pushing in your job, for instance, then you might qualify for a claim. The same applies with carpal tunnel syndrome, which is also covered by workers’ compensation. The bottom line is that even if your injury is chronic rather than temporary, it is worth looking into to see if you can build a case by talking to a workers’ compensation attorney.

Brain and Spinal Injury

Injuries to the brain and spinal cord are typically complex and often carry potential long term or even permanent consequences. Cases involving brain or spine injuries need to be handled with care. Often, the long term effects of these injuries are not easily predicted nor do they manifest right away. Litster Frost’s team has the experience to strategize in such a way that the full implications of serious injuries are never ignored.

Wrongful Death

Wrongful death lawsuits or accidental death lawsuits happen when a family member looses their lives due to someone else’s actions or negligence, reckless driving, medical malpractice or complications from a botched surgery. Wrongful death lawsuits can be pursued by parents, children or spouses of the deceased. Litster Frost has successfully represented many wrongful death suits in Idaho.

Bad Drugs and Defective Medical Products

Every year thousands are harmed due to the failure of a medical device, or because of damaging and unintended effects of prescription drugs. When the cause of injury is traced back to manufacturer of the drug or device, then an attorney with experience in product liability litigation can pursue legal action. Litster Frost regularly handles such cases for Idaho residents and can advise you on your potential case. Learn more on our bad drug and defective medical products page.

Nursing Home Abuse

Neglect has become a serious issue in elder care facilities. Litster Frost helps families who’s parents or grandparents have suffered due to the negligence or even abuse of nursing home care staff. Learn more about how an attorney for nursing home cases can help you.

Non-Injury Cases

Litster Frost attorneys handle employment law cases such as those involving wrongful termination and discrimination. We also fight for those who have been victims of sexual harassment. We aggressively defend the interests of people who have been unlawfully singled out in the workplace. No Idaho resident should have to experience such behavior and we’re here to see that when they do, they have our full attention and dedication to defending their legal rights.

Should I expect compensation for what I’m going through?

Accident victims often suffer painful injuries that require extensive medical treatment. The most important thing to remember is that you must get medical treatment so that you can properly heal. You should know that insurance companies compensate victims for what is called “pain and suffering” above and beyond payment for medical bills, lost wages, and property damage. Litster Frost is here to help you through the healing process and to make sure you receive the compensation you deserve.

Should I sign the information releases that I received from the insurance adjuster?

No, you should not sign any release forms without talking to an attorney. The fact is that the insurance company adjuster has the insurance company’s best interest in mind. Adjusters have only one job – to keep the payments they make to accident victims as small as possible. At Litster Frost, we fight to make sure big companies don’t take advantage of you. Have our attorneys review any release forms you have received, because signing them may jeopardize your case.

What happens when I’m injured by an uninsured or underinsured driver?

It can be difficult to understand what your uninsured or underinsured motorist claim is worth under your policy. Keep in mind that even if you have coverage, your own insurance company will try to pay as little as possible on your claim. The experienced attorneys at Litster Frost understand Idaho insurance law and will help you get maximum recovery on uninsured or underinsured motorist claims.

What if I don’t have a drivers license, insurance or residence?

Even if you have no drivers license or insurance you may still have rights under the law. Regardless of their immigration status, insurance companies compensate the victims for the so-called “pain and suffering” above and beyond the payment of medical bills, lost wages and property damage. Many people believe that if they are not documented that this means they have no legal rights. Some think that if you speak with an attorney, he is going to report them. This is false. Your lawyer is not the police. Your lawyer is not the immigration police. In fact, whatever you tell your attorney is private and protected. Call your lawyer today and find out your legal rights. Your Attorney is to protect legal rights and you regardless of your immigration status.

If I hire Litster Frost, will I have to go to trial?

No. You have the right to a jury trial in civil cases under the 7th amendment of the U.S. Constitution. But because of our experience and expertise, we at Litster Frost are able to settle about 95% of our cases for full value without going to trial. However, if an insurance company refuses to treat you fairly, we will take your case to trial to ensure that you get justice!

Do I have a case if I’m already receiving workers comp insurance payments?

Some workers assume that a case has ended because they’re receiving monthly wage or impairment compensation. They don’t pursue the balance of the case before the deadline expires. We will evaluate your case free of charge. And even if you’re already receiving insurance payments, we will get you more in your pocket or we won’t take a fee.

What is the number one, most important thing to do after an accident?

The most important thing to do after an injury is to see a doctor and follow their instructions. With all the bills, paperwork, exams and appointments, some accident victims lose sight of the single, most important thing to do after an accident—make sure that you heal. Many victims suffer for the rest of their lives because they didn’t make healing the number one priority. You get only one chance to try to recover from an injury. At Litster Frost, we make healing “front and center” in the recovery process. With decades of experience and having successfully helped thousands of clients, we know exactly how to walk you through the process of healing—both physically and financially.

Is your attorney here in Idaho?

Surprisingly, some personal injury attorneys who practice in Idaho don’t even live here. They simply have offices or liaisons here, which may mean that your phone calls are answered in Salt Lake City or elsewhere. You are best represented by a local law firm, Litster Frost, located right here in Idaho. Our attorneys and staff look forward to meeting with you face to face and as often as you wish because we care.

Does your injury attorney offer any guarantees?

Our clients have the benefit of the “three Litster Frost guarantees”: First, if you receive compensation, no matter how high your medical bills are, you’ll get money in your pocket regardless of the insurance policy limit. Second, even if you’ve already received an offer from an insurance company, our tough, aggressive, and experienced team at Litster Frost will get more money in your pocket or you’ll pay nothing. Third, we guarantee that we’ll stop harassing creditor calls that often follow an accident if you’re unable to work or pay for medical treatment.  These guarantees are just “3” of the many reasons you should choose Litster Frost, the unique personal injury law firm in Idaho.

Automobile, Motorcycle and Bicycle Accidents

Have you or a loved one been injured in an accident that was not your fault? Knowing your rights and responsibilities can help bring justice to your suffering, and monetary compensation for your pain. The legal team at Lister Frost can help you obtain compensation for damages to yourself and those you love. You can also help avoid future calamity by understanding some of the causes and conditions most common in road accidents.

Conditions for Automobile, Motorcycle and Bicycle Accidents

• Road hazards, construction or defects – This is one of the most dangerous road conditions of all. Merging traffic, unfamiliar lane movement, and changing traffic flow can confuse drivers especially at night.
• Driver negligence during lane change – Blind spots and constantly moving traffic is hazardous during lane changes. Check and double check for other traffic around you before you change lanes. Pay special attention to motorcyclists; they are often difficult to see. Look again before you move over!
• Drivers tailgating motorcyclists – Motor bikes can stop much more quickly than automobiles; this can cause a major accident if the cyclist hits his or her brakes. Most people are not thinking about the traffic behind them. It is up to you to be cautious when following cars or motorcycles.
• Driving Under Influence of drugs or alcohol – Anything which impairs judgment can be detrimental to traffic flow. Many people are forced to live each day on some sort of medication. Often, the only warning on the label is caution for drivers, and many of those people do not realize they may misjudging the road conditions and traffic around them. If you believe a fellow driver is driving erratically under the influence of alcohol or drugs, call an officer and report the danger. You can avoid many automobile, motorcycle and bicycle accidents by staying alert.
• Failure to heed red or caution lights – Before crossing any intersection on a green light, quickly survey the opposite traffic. There may be a stray vehicle that did not observe the traffic light.
• Speeding Faster than Posted Limits – Motorists who drive too fast for road conditions or traffic are a hazard to others. Be careful not to be one of those people who think they are entitled to drive faster than the law allows. Slowing down to the speed limit can save a life.
• Simple Negligence – Sometimes people are distracted by children, animals, music, cell phones, or sunlight. While their absent-mindedness can result in pain and suffering for you or those you love, you can help avoid some accidents by paying attention to those around you.

If you are unfortunate enough to be involved in a vehicle accident, be sure to call Lister Frost as soon as possible. We can help you make sure you do not jeopardize your legal rights to overall justice and relief from as much pain, suffering, and anxiety as possible.  There is no need for you to suffer without compensation. We can help you explore all legal options related to automobile, motorcycle, and bicycle accidents.

Semi-Truck Accidents Can Be Avoided

Statistics show that one out of every eight traffic fatalities involves semi-truck accidents. That is nearly 5,000 truck-related fatalities every year. Many fatalities could be avoided if passenger vehicles and truckers would follow these simple tricks of the road.

Passenger vehicle drivers take note

• Trucks maneuver differently than cars. You should be extra alert when approaching. They cannot stop as quickly, and require much more distance to turn.
• Truckers are trained to warn you when they are about to make a change. Watch those blinkers and brake lights! Stay back away so the trucker can make his move without crushing you.
• Avoid blind spots. If you can’t see their mirrors, they cannot see you. Statistics show that nearly one-third of all semi-truck accidents occur because a car got into its blind spot. Don’t be the next one!
• Don’t cut them off. If you are approaching your exit and a trucker is in your path, lag behind it and get over. If you try to swerve in front of it and get off the road, he may have to hit his brakes. This can cause the large load to sway, taking the truck out of the control of the wheel and even if you get out of the way, there may be a wreck for which you are responsible.
• Understand how a truck turns. Even if the truck appears to swing left, he may in fact be swinging wide to turn right. If you try to pass on the right to get past, there is a good chance that you will broadside the cab. The wait is worth the time to avoid an accident.

Truckers Be Safe

• Take care of yourself. Eat well, stay fit, and get enough rest. Long hours on the road can make any driver weary, so stop once in awhile just to enjoy the countryside and get some fresh air. Also, don’t forget to fasten your seatbelt before you get back on the road. It could save your life.
• Slow down in work zones. Highway construction can wreak havoc on a truck drivers schedule and their nerves. Take your time and expect delays, uneven roadways, and directional changes. Also, watch out for those workers in orange vests!
• Keep your distance. Don’t depend on passenger vehicles to know your limits and stopping distance requirements. Make concessions for uneducated motorists, and anticipate hard braking situations. Drive defensively.
• Maintain your vehicle. Vehicle inspection is your responsibility. Check brakes, identify safety defects, and get repairs before risking your life and the lives of others on the road.

Some semi-truck accidents seem to rise up out of nowhere regardless of caution. If this should happen to you, be sure to call the professionals at Litster Frost to help you navigate the legal traffic jam in which you find yourself. Be prepared, stay safe, and give us a call today. Don’t be another statistic.
