Although Boise, Idaho, has a vested interest in maintaining its roads, there are still dangerous road conditions present throughout the state that lead to car accidents. A large pothole or poorly made shoulder drop-off can cause drivers to swerve, experience mechanical failure or a tire blowout, or experience any number of other issues that lead to a car accident.

If you were operating your vehicle responsibly by obeying traffic laws and paying attention to the road, you should not have to pay the resulting expenses of your accident when it was caused by road conditions that were outside your control. Instead, an experienced Boise dangerous road accident lawyer from Craig Swapp & Associates can help you recover from your losses and determine who was at fault.

Dangerous Roads in Boise

Boise has issues with roads in need of repair just like any other city. As a busy city with constant traffic, roads constantly wear out and present hazards to drivers. Even the repairs can present dangers to drivers as they try to avoid the construction site and its workers.

In fact, the Idaho Transportation Department saw 407 accidents in road construction areas in 2014 alone. Some other common dangerous road examples include the following.

Dealing with Dangerous Road Accidents

There are some accidents that can be prevented through driver action. However, most of those situations involve avoiding mistakes other drivers make on the road. When it comes to dangerous road accidents, there is little you can do to prevent them. Some dangerous roads even require you to break the law to avoid the hazard, like swerving out of your lane to avoid a large pothole or shoulder drop-off.

When you have a car accident that results from a dangerous road, you are likely to face mechanical or cosmetic damage to your car, but you might also face physical injuries and the medial expenses that accompany them.

Who Is at Fault?

Determining fault in these accidents can also be a challenge. In many situations, a government agency will be responsible for the road’s upkeep, but the fault may also belong to a private company, property owner, or construction crew.

Seeking Compensation for Dangerous Roads

When it comes to dangerous roads, you have to prove that the road itself was the cause of your accident. When you seek compensation, it may not be an individual you face, but a government entity or company represented by a team of lawyers. If you find yourself in such a situation, you will need a Boise dangerous road accident lawyer who has your best interests in mind. The lawyers of Craig Swapp & Associates can get you the compensation you need and deserve, no matter who or what you are up against.

If you or someone you love has been injured in an accident caused by a dangerous road, you could be entitled to financial compensation to help you and your family members move forward. Our attorneys can make sure the right person or entity is held responsible for your accident.

Client Reviews

“I was concerned with all the paperwork”

Before calling your firm I had 2 big worries. One was I didn’t want to do more paper work, and that fear was resolved when I had to do very little, but Craig Swapp and Assoc. did most of it, and when I did have to come in to sign papers they worked around the times I could do it. Worry 2 was I didn’t want people to think I was “sue happy” and that I was just out to get money. I just wanted my bills to be paid for that were from the accident, and that was resolved I think by Mr. Wes Mortenson and Theresa because they listened to what I had to say.

"I would hire them in a second"

My biggest fear was not having all the expenses caused by the accident paid for in full. I was assured they would be taken care of but I admit I was skeptical. When we wrapped everything up (which happened quicker than I was originally told) I had extra money in my pocket. I honestly thought there was a catch but my attorney explained everything to me in detail. If I am ever in that position again I’ll be giving Craig Swapp a call.

"I was afraid of the fees"

I was afraid of the fees I would have to pay a lawyer. I waited over a year before hiring your law firm. I finally reached out to your online help where they were able to help me understand the process and what would happen. In all honesty I absolutely loved working with the individuals that were involved in my case. They were genuine & heartfelt about my case. It felt as though they really cared and were concerned about me, not just as a client but as a person.

"I was afraid that my issue was too small"

I was afraid that my issue was too small to be handled, and that it would just be rejected. Or that I’d end up having to pay for my medical expenses and any of your teams expenses. I would definitely answer yes, it was resolved! I wasn’t ever made out to feel like my little issue didn’t matter, and my expenses were paid for- just what I wanted/needed.

"I am very pleased with the results"

My biggest fear was that it would be pointless to pursue legal action in my case. I felt like maybe I didn’t have much of a case. After speaking with Paul, I realize it was not of my own fault and that others can be held responsible for the pain and suffering I went through.
