As Idaho’s cities grow, more pedestrians are being struck in crosswalks, parking lots, and along busy corridors like Boise’s State Street and Eagle Road. A person on foot has no protection against a moving vehicle, and even a low-speed impact can cause catastrophic harm. Injury Claim Team connects injured pedestrians with attorneys who hold negligent drivers accountable.
Why Pedestrian Injuries Are So Severe
Pedestrians absorb the full force of a collision, often suffering traumatic brain injuries, spinal damage, internal injuries, and multiple fractures. Recovery can take months or years, with permanent disability in serious cases.
Common Causes in Idaho
Distracted drivers, failure to yield at crosswalks, speeding through residential areas, drivers turning without looking, and poor visibility during Idaho’s long winter nights all contribute to pedestrian strikes. Idaho law generally gives pedestrians the right of way in marked and unmarked crosswalks.
Proving Driver Fault
Insurers often blame the pedestrian. An experienced attorney gathers traffic-camera footage, witness statements, and accident-reconstruction evidence to establish the driver’s negligence and protect you under Idaho’s comparative negligence rule.

Why Choose Injury Claim Team for Your Idaho Case
Injury Claim Team connects injured Idahoans with experienced personal injury attorneys who understand Idaho law and local courts. Idaho gives most injury victims two years from the date of injury to file a lawsuit (Idaho Code § 5-219). Idaho also follows a modified comparative negligence rule (Idaho Code § 6-801): you can recover as long as you are less than 50% at fault, with your recovery reduced by your share of blame. A noneconomic-damages cap applies in many cases (Idaho Code § 6-1603), though it does not apply where the harm resulted from reckless conduct or a felony. Our network attorneys handle the insurance companies so you can focus on healing — and you pay nothing unless they win.
