Q: How and where do i file wrongful death lawsuit?
daughter died in motorcycle crash while visiting Idaho. we live in california, driver lives in n. dakota.
A: You need an Idaho attorney. Although you could file in Federal Court in Boise or Pocatello based on diversity jurisdiction. If you chose that, any attorney admitted to the 9th Circuit (of which California is a part) could represent you. This is not a do it yourself project.

The proper state court is always where the accident occurred.
you ideally want a lawyer from the area where the accident took place.
as long as your daughter was not at fault and there was insurance coverage an accident lawyer would take the case on a contingency so that you would not have to front any money.

A: In addition, once you exhaust the available insurance policy of the at fault driver(s), if your own policy of Underinsured Motorist coverage is a greater sum, you can very likely pursue an additional claim against your own insurer.
A: File in Idaho. Look for a member of the Idaho Assn for Justice. They give free consults.
