Law Firm Overview Free Consultation

The law firm of Carty Houst provides thorough and effective legal representation in the areas of personal injury such as car accidents, aviation accidents, medical malpractice, premises liability and wrongful death. Our Boise personal injury lawyers can counter insurers' roadblocks and aggressively fight for the compensation you deserve.

At the personal injury law firm of Carty Houst, in Boise, we believe that insurers should be held accountable for the full value of what the policies they sell are supposed to provide. If you have been injured, experienced a diminished quality of life, and face bills for expensive medical care, can you afford to accept only a small percentage of the value of your personal injury claim?

Following an accident and injuries, you need legal advice that is friendly, supportive and committed to your best interests and maximum money damages. To that end, our representation is always fully focused on pursuing maximum insurance payouts from all eligible sources. Litigation is expensive, and our initial financial outlays for serious injuries regularly exceed $100,000. Still, insurers may try to outspend us, trying to gain an advantage. We won't let them intimidate us.

We have the time and financial resources needed to fully prepare and present your case. This includes advancing money for expenses in appropriate cases. We will not charge you for this if we do not win the case. Because of our commitment to clients, we put our own resources on the line to help injured people recover the insurance payout and medical bill compensation they need and deserve.

- Insurance Disputes

The simple fact is, insurance companies will never give you a cent more than they need to, and routinely cut off injured customers from needed medical care.

We can use our knowledge of insurance law and insurers' tactics to protect your interests in an insurance dispute.

Whether you were the driver or a passenger, when you are injured in a recreational vehicle accident, it can feel like you are on your own against the largest insurance companies in America. At Carty Houst, we level the playing field. You are not alone. You will have our experience and success on your side.

- Wrongful Death

The term "wrongful death" refers to any death that was caused by negligence or a willful act of another. If your family member has died because of another's recklessness or error, you may have a valid claim to get compensation for your loss. Although we fully understand that no amount of money can bring back a loved one, a monetary settlement can be used to offset medical bills or future lost wages.

- Truck Accidents

At the personal injury law firm of Carty Houst, in Boise, we know how to approach truck accident cases effectively. Because of our experience, we are aware of how trucking companies and truckers' insurers are likely to handle accident claims. Each attorney at our firm has worked as an insurance defense lawyer.
