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.
