After a motor vehicle accident, the immediate aftermath can be overwhelming. Beyond the initial shock, there are a multitude of concerns to address, from vehicle repairs to insurance claims, and, most importantly, your health. The good news is that if you've been involved in a car accident in the past month, you are entitled to healthcare, attorney representation, and, often, a settlement—all typically covered by insurance. Whether it's through your own policy or the at-fault driver’s insurance, these resources are in place to support your recovery and protect your financial stability.

Insurance, Legal Support, and Statute of Limitations
One of the biggest concerns following an accident is how to pay for the care you need. The good news is that in most cases, your medical expenses related to the accident are covered by insurance, including both your health insurance and your auto insurance. Many auto insurance policies in Idaho include Medical Payments Coverage (Med Pay), which can help cover your medical expenses regardless of fault. Additionally, if you’re not at fault, the other driver’s insurance typically covers your medical bills, lost wages, and other related expenses.
Attorneys can make your responsibility and the whole process so much easier by handling negotiations with insurance companies, gathering necessary evidence, and can represent you if your case goes to court. Attorneys usually get paid by a percentage of the settlement or award, which is covered by the insurance company, so there is no cost to you.
How long ago was the accident?
It’s important to remember that there’s a legal time limit to take action. Generally, it's best to contact us within a month of the accident. The quicker the better! However, in Idaho, the statute of limitations for personal injury cases, including those arising from car accidents, is up to two years from the date of the accident. So, whether the accident just happened, or if it's been a while, give us a call and we can help you figure of out if your treatment could be covered!
Conclusion
After a car accident, taking care of your health is paramount, and understanding your rights to covered care is essential. With a team of experienced healthcare professionals ready to support your recovery and knowledgeable attorneys to guide you through the legal process, you can focus on healing without the added stress of navigating insurance and legal complexities. Remember, time is of the essence, so don’t delay in seeking the care you need.
