Douglas Merkley and his partners specialize in several law areas. We are privileged to service the citizens of Pocatello in family & divorce problems, accidents & personal injuries, estate planning and probate and bankruptcy issues. Victims of accidents, negligence, and personal injuries have the right to seek compensation for damages, lost wages, and medical expenses. They vary widely in both the cause and result of the accident. In some instance of a personal injury an individual or a company may be liable for the resulting suffering that the personal injury caused. Personal injury law covers the physical harm the individual may have, as well as the suffering they endured.
