The evidence that decides bus accident claims
- Photos before repairs — vehicles, the scene, skid marks, and visible injuries, taken before anything is fixed or healed.
- Medical records from day one — the first visit ties the injury to the incident; gaps in treatment become the insurer's argument.
- Witness names and numbers — collected at the scene, because witnesses scatter quickly.
- Camera footage — dashcams, doorbells, and business cameras near the scene often recorded it, and most systems overwrite within days or weeks.
- Official reports — the report number is the key that opens the record later.
- A simple log — symptoms, missed work, and expenses, kept as they happen.
None of this requires deciding anything about lawyers — it just preserves the claim while the evidence still exists.

The firm may contact you to learn more and explain how Idaho claims generally work. There is no cost to request a review, and submitting the form does not create an attorney-client relationship.

Why quick action matters in Idaho
Idaho generally allows two years from the date of injury for most personal injury and wrongful death lawsuits (Idaho Code 5-219). But claims involving a government entity require a written notice of claim within 180 days under the Idaho Tort Claims Act — a jurisdictional deadline that is fatal to a claim if missed. Evidence also fades quickly. This is general information, not legal advice; a participating law firm can explain the deadlines that apply to you.
