Should I Call a Lawyer After Losing Someone in a Coeur d’Alene Truck Accident?
When a truck driver’s careless mistake claims a precious life, the family members left behind face grief and often a very often sudden financial issues. They’ll be confronted with funeral costs and leftover medical expenses. This can come at a time when a spouse or children of the victim are also without the income the victim had always supported the family with.
Seeking help after a fatal truck accident can mean going up against a truck driver, a trucking company, and insurance adjusters. A large transportation or delivery company will also have the money to hire teams of lawyers to find ways to reject your case. A Coeur d’Alene Wrongful Death Lawyer fights back against these well-practiced tactics by fully investigating a tragic truck accident and making sure the facts can’t be changed. Then, your CCD Law representative demands the maximum in support for families to help immediately and in the years ahead.
Deadly Truck Accident Dangers in Kootenai County
Big rigs power up and down I-90’s mountain passes and they roll through the narrowest streets of Coeur d’Alene. There are semi-trucks and heavy Amazon delivery vans traveling local roads day and night. If a driver has a brief lapse in judgment or dozes off for a moment, a giant vehicle can go out of control and strike much smaller cars, SUVs, motorcycles, bicycles, and even defenseless pedestrians.
The Idaho Transportation Department documents truck accident fatalities across the state each year. In 2022, there were 27 fatalities in accidents involving buses and large trucks. That figure jumped in 2023 to at least 46 tragic accidents. 2023 also left almost 700 Idaho truck accident victims with serious and life-threatening injuries.
People in smaller vehicles can end up trapped in crushed cars and left under tractor-trailers. They can have to wait for rescue before life-saving care can be administered. Often, this care comes too late after semi-truck accidents.
The families left behind can wonder how to seek justice and protect themselves in an uncertain future. CCD Law serving all of Northern Idaho can handle the frustrating blame game that insurance companies play. We want to fight to get loved ones the most support available while causing as little disruption for the grieving family as possible.
Who Can Be Held Liable After a Deadly Truck Accident
One of the most important services a wrongful death attorney will provide is to help determine every party that should bear liability in a truck accident. More than one individual or company could be involved. The more insurance companies that can be sued, the better chance that families will receive support to match everything they’ve been through and will endure in the years to come.
Your Crary & Domanico, P.S., representative will be looking at several parties to figure out who should be held accountable and providing support:
- Owner/Operator truck drivers who carry their own commercial truck insurance
- Trucking companies that employ drivers and back them with accident insurance
- Delivery companies like Amazon and FedEx that provide accident coverage for workers
- Truck manufacturers if a defect or part failure caused the accident.
Your family’s attorney can investigate companies to see if they hired a dangerous truck driver without proper background checks. A lack of safety training and certification might also leave a transportation or delivery company liable for a tragedy.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long do I have to file a truck accident injury claim in Idaho?
You are granted up to two years from the date of the accident to seek financial support for wrongful death costs. You should not wait months or years. As weeks pass, fresh evidence can disappear and witnesses can move away and become hard to find.
What if I can’t afford to pay a truck accident lawyer?
You can still afford skilled representation. CCD Law doesn’t get paid unless we win your case for you. Then our fee comes out of the settlement money an insurance company has to pay you and your family.

Families should get immediate help in paying funeral expenses and remaining medical bills. A skilled attorney would also demand support for the future when the victim’s guidance and income can no longer help the family.
