Car accidents seem to occur on Boise roads almost daily. Even if you believe you have only suffered minor injuries in a car accident, the effects of Boise car accident injuries can be with you for years afterward. The worst part is that the majority of the time, car accidents and the resulting injuries are preventable and occur simply because of someone else’s negligence. When this happens, you deserve compensation to help you and your family members heal and move forward in the best way possible.

Common Car Accident Injuries

Some of the most common Boise injuries from car accidents are neck injuries. Airbags and other safety features can prevent a person from being ejected from the vehicle, but there is still room for an injury to occur within the vehicle. Whiplash is one of the most common injuries affecting the neck. This occurs when the head is jerked in such a way as to injure the muscles or tendons in the neck. This injury can be painful, and it can prevent normal movement as the neck is unable to balance the head correctly, much less enable it to move as it normally would. Other common car accident injuries include, but are not limited to, the following:

Other Losses Because of Car Accident Injuries

In most cases, there is more lost than just property damage when it comes to car accidents. Those who are injured in car accidents may not be able to work, but still have to deal with the medical bills for the necessary treatment after the car accident. This means your income level is significantly reduced, but the expenses can continue to increase for many years after the accident. Even an injury that sounds simple and seems minor, like whiplash, can cause lost time at work and expensive medical bills. You shouldn’t have to suffer and end up in debt because of someone else’s negligence.

Driver Safety Measures and Devices

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) regularly puts out reports concerning statistics when it comes to car accidents, fatalities, and injuries. One of the reports they use reveals how many lives were saved by safety devices like helmets, seat belts, and airbags. In 2014, 485 people were saved by the laws that govern the age of drinking. Further, 1,669 lives were saved because drivers wore helmets while riding a motorcycle. It’s hard to ignore the numbers when it comes to the precautions that drivers can take when on the road. However, even if you are the safest driver on the road, there’s only so much you can do to keep yourself safe from other drivers who aren’t always taking the same precautions.

Getting Help for Injuries

Because of the high cost of medical treatment, car accident victims often can’t meet all of their appointments or other medical obligations. This can cause long-term medical issues, but it can also have a more immediate impact. In a country where people are frequently told to “get over it” when they are injured, this is one time that you should let your medical professional tell you when you are over it rather than trying to decide for yourself. The cost for not taking care of your injuries may be higher than you anticipate. You shouldn’t have to deal with these injuries or expenses by yourself if your car accident is someone else’s fault.

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.
