With offices in Lewiston and Coeur d’Alene, Idaho,
Whitehead, Amberson & Caldwell has over 50 years combined experience in
representing victims of personal injury.
Regardless of whether you’re injured in an
automobile accident, motorcycle accident, 4-wheeler accident, propane gas
explosion, drunk driving accident, medical
malpractice, a defective product, on
someone else's property, or at work,
Whitehead, Amberson & Caldwell may be able to help you in getting the
compensation you deserve.
In addition to personal injury, we represent injured workers in
workers' compensation cases. Richard
Whitehead is the only Certified Workers’ Compensation Specialist north of Boise
and has been certified by the Idaho Trial Lawyers Association since 1991.
Workers’ compensation insurance is supposed to protect the injured worker.
Unfortunately, we have learned through sad experience that insurance companies
often look for any reason -- right or wrong -- to deny a workers’ compensation
claim. We strive to protect the injured worker and to keep insurance companies
honest. If needed, we will try your case before the Idaho Industrial Commission.
We have represented victims of personal injury and work-related injuries for
almost every injury imaginable, including wrongful
death, death at the workplace, cedar dust, back injury, spinal fusion,
spinal cord injury, paraplegia, quadriplegia, shoulder injury, rotator cuff
tear, broken bone, fracture, herniated disc, traumatic brain injury, joint
replacement, chronic regional pain syndrome (CRPS), Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, eye
injury, and tendonitis.
We have successfully represented individuals against the largest insurance
companies and some of the largest corporations in the state of Idaho and in the
country including Wal Mart, Potlatch, Simplot, Micron, State Farm Insurance,
PEMCO Insurance, Geico Insurance, Allstate Insurance, Progressive Insurance,
Farmers Insurance, Farm Bureau Insurance, Mutual of Enuclaw, Idaho State
Insurance Fund, Liberty Northwest Insurance, and Wausau Insurance.
We also represent people trying to obtain Social
Security Disability and/or Supplemental
Security Income benefits. We assist claimants through the Request for
Reconsideration process and through the Administrative Law Judge Hearing. We are
also often successful at obtaining On The Record decisions, which can speed up
the otherwise painfully slow Social Security application process.
