Idaho DWI Car Accident Attorneys
Getting injured or losing a loved one because of a drunk driver is the worst kind of injustice. You know the accident shouldn't have happened. The drunk shouldn't have been behind the wheel at all, but the insurance defense lawyers may still try to pin a great deal of the blame on you.
At Carty Houst, we fight aggressively for the victims of drunk drivers. We know the insurance defense tactics. The sad part is that their defense strategies are often effective. So we look beyond the scene of the accident. We investigate the driver's record. We look for "vicarious" liability, including Dram Shop laws that hold the bar, restaurant or social host liable. We look at every insured party so that you have every opportunity to obtain the maximum damages you are entitled to.
Finding Exceptions to Idaho's Caps on Recovery
Although Idaho law has numerous limits or "caps" on recovery in personal injury cases, there are also important exceptions to these rules. For example, if a DUI driver was reckless or engaged in behavior that is considered malice, we can pursue punitive damages. The insurance company won't tell you this, because it's not in their interest, and they might even try to blame you for what happened. We won't let that happen. We'll use our in-depth knowledge of Idaho insurance law to fight for fair compensation for your injuries.
