The Idaho Advocates, a premier personal injury law firm, continues its mission to support victims of car accidents across Idaho as recent data shows traffic fatalities remain a persistent problem on the state's roads.
According to the Idaho Transportation Department's 2014 crash report, 186 people lost their lives in motor vehicle crashes that year. While this represented a 13% decrease from 2013, it still translates to one traffic fatality every 47 hours in Idaho. The report also revealed that 11,768 people were injured in crashes, equating to one injury every 45 minutes.
The Idaho Advocates specialize in representing car accident victims, helping them deal with insurance companies and pursue legal claims for injuries, property damage, and other losses. The firm's expertise is particularly crucial given the report's finding that nearly 39% of all fatalities in 2014 resulted from impaired driving crashes.
"At The Advocates, we believe that every client deserves a powerful voice in their fight for justice," said Damian Kidd, Managing Partner. "Our commitment is to stand beside you, ensuring you receive the compensation you deserve."
Other key findings from the 2014 report that underscore the importance of experienced legal representation include:
66% of all motor vehicle crashes occurred on urban roadways, but 77% of fatal crashes took place on rural roads; Aggressive driving was a contributing factor in 48% of all motor vehicle crashes; Distracted driving was involved in 19% of crashes and resulted in 29 fatalities; Young drivers aged 15-19 were 2.5 times more likely than other drivers to be involved in a fatal or injury crash.
The Idaho Advocates stress the importance of seeking legal counsel promptly after an accident.
"We are passionate about advocating for justice on behalf of injury victims," said Taylor Williams, Litigation Attorney. "You can rest assured that we will aggressively pursue the best possible outcome for your case."
The 2014 Idaho Traffic Crashes report also highlights the critical importance of safety measures and responsible driving. The data shows that while the observed seat belt use in Idaho was 80%, only 44% of motor vehicle occupants killed in crashes were wearing seat belts. The report estimates that if everyone had been wearing seat belts, 34 of the 67 unbelted motor vehicle occupants who died might have survived. Additionally, the economic cost of crashes in Idaho for 2014 was staggering, totaling nearly $2.5 billion, which amounts to $1,504 for every person in the state.
"The path to justice can be difficult, but we are here to make it as smooth as possible for you," said Austin Strobel, Litigation Attorney. "Our firm stands as a support against the unfair practices of insurance companies."
The firm's comprehensive approach includes investigating crash circumstances, gathering evidence, negotiating with insurance companies, and, when necessary, representing clients in court. They handle a wide range of cases, from relatively minor injuries to catastrophic accidents resulting in wrongful death.
The Idaho Advocates' commitment to their clients extends beyond just legal representation. The firm has developed a comprehensive support system to assist accident victims throughout their recovery process. This includes helping clients find appropriate medical care, offering guidance on dealing with insurance claims, and providing regular updates on case progress. "We understand that recovering from a car accident involves more than just legal battles," noted Sarah Johnson, a senior partner at the firm. "Our holistic approach aims to address all aspects of our clients' needs during this challenging time."
