Racine Olson has been representing everyday Idahoans for more than 75 years. The firm’s founder, Louis F. Racine Jr., understood well the hard work of people like you who raised this community up out of the high desert earth. “Racine” strived to ensure that the negligence and misconduct of others would not jeopardize all that his clients had worked hard to achieve.

Today, the Idaho personal injury attorneys of Racine Olson carry on Racine’s legacy. We have the only physician-attorney practicing in Idaho. In addition, we have a state policeman, now attorney practicing with us. When people retain lawyers at Racine Olson, they don’t get just one attorney, they get the combined experience of all the lawyers in one of the largest and oldest personal injury law firms in Idaho. Like our founder, we understand that success is no coincidence. Through zealous advocacy, hard work and commitment, our personal injury attorneys team up to get Idahoans the recovery they deserve.

But, that’s not all our attorneys accomplish when they represent everyday people. In addition to achieving compensation for these clients, our attorneys make Idaho a safer and better place for us all.

A contingency fee is a fee charged by a lawyer for his/her services that are paid to the lawyer by the client, only if the client’s case is successful or settled favorably out of court. Contingency fees are usually in the range of 25% to 40%, depending upon whether the case is settled without the need of a lawsuit, whether suit is filed, or whether there was an appeal involved in the lawsuit.

Often times there are costs incurred in the lawsuit process such as the costs associated with the filing of suit, serving the Complaint and Summons, deposition costs, expert fees, and medical records retrieval. These costs are separate from the contingency fee and are often times advanced by the lawyer for the client. Upon resolution of the client’s case, the attorney is paid for the costs advanced.
