Frequently Asked Questions

Can a personal injury attorney in Boise also handle a related employment claim?

Yes, in many cases. When a workplace accident involves both a workers’ compensation component and a potential third-party negligence claim, or when an injury leads to wrongful termination, a firm like Miller Hawkins that handles both practice areas can manage the full matter without requiring separate counsel.

What should I bring to my first meeting with a personal injury attorney?

Bring all documentation related to your injury: the accident report, medical records and bills, insurance correspondence, photos from the scene, and any witness contact information. The more complete your records, the more productive your initial consultation will be.

How does Idaho’s modified comparative fault rule affect my personal injury case?

Idaho follows a 50% modified comparative fault rule. If a jury finds you 50% or more at fault, you recover nothing. Below that threshold, your recovery is reduced proportionally by your share of fault — making early legal counsel important since insurers often try to inflate the claimant’s fault percentage.

This was my first time ever meeting with a lawyer. I didn’t know what to expect, but this was a great experience. They helped me navigate a reporter contract I had signed (and wanted to get out of), and laid out all of my options. Totally helped me feel empowered because I knew what my rights were, and I was able to get out of my contract. 10/10 recommend.

Could not be happier with Shelly Miller, and Joe Miller. Shelly was right on the ball. We got the result we wanted, fast.

Save yourself and your money and *do not* give this firm, specifically Boyd Hawkins, your business. After I thoroughly explained the situation to the rather kind intake woman at their firm, Boyd took my consultation appointment at his rate of $150 per hour. Unfortunately, he clearly didn’t listen to a word I said during it, he kept going off long-winded tangents about matters that I was not there to discuss and I had to repeatedly ask him to stay on the actual topic. I cut the meeting as soon as it was glaringly apparent that I couldn’t trust him to represent me in this legal matter. He wasted over $100 hard earned dollars and even worse, MY TIME.

Joseph C. Miller handled my case with great professionalism and patience. He carefully listened to my concerns and provided effective solutions, leading to a very positive outcome. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking reliable and skilled legal assistance.
