Two Boise Attorneys Serving Plaintiffs Exclusively for a Combined 60 Years
"I don't want to be like that McDonald's lady, getting millions of dollars for no reason" — a recent client
After helping injured people in Idaho since the early 1970s, we have noticed one common viewpoint among our clients. No one wants to be the person who takes advantage of the system, opportunistically pursuing a claim for minor injuries and getting money they don't deserve. The idea of an unnecessary claim offends our clients' sense of what it means to be good American citizen.
Recovering Your Non-Economic Damages
We respond to this concern by pointing out that driving a car, obtaining medical care, flying in a plane and using household items and workplace machinery are not akin to bungee jumping. These are everyday activities that you deserve to be able to do safely. When negligence causes injuries, you are not abusing the system by filing a claim. You are exercising your right to demand a safe environment in which to live, work and drive.
The American government agrees with this assessment, as do others. That is why insurance is in place to provide fair compensation for economic and non-economic damages following preventable accidents and injuries. If you have been injured because of another's negligence, you may be entitled to receive compensation for:
- Future medical expenses
- Past and future wage loss
- Diminished future earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Expenses for hiring assistance to accomplish the activities of daily living
- Loss of vocation
- Loss of consortium
We respect clients' wishes to receive compensation mainly for medical expenses. But if someone has paid an insurance company premiums for years to protect themselves against an injury, shouldn't you seek the money you need and deserve?
