Idaho Personal Injury Laws

Idaho abides by a modified comparative negligence rule for personal injury cases. Under comparative negligence, the injured individual can only recover damages if their percentage of fault is less than 50%. If the injured party is found to be 50% or more responsible for the accident, they cannot recover damages for their injuries and other losses. If the injured individual is found to be less than 50% responsible for the accident, their total damages will be reduced by their percentage of fault. For instance, if an accident victim is awarded $100,000 in damages but found to be 30% responsible for the accident, their damages would be reduced by 30%, and they would only receive $70,000 for their injuries and other losses.

It is also essential to note that Idaho is a modified joint and several liability state. This is particularly relevant in cases where multiple parties may be liable for your accident. In other words, if one defendant is found to be more than 50% responsible for the accident, they can be held accountable for the total amount of compensation, even if other defendants also bear some level of fault.

Frequently Asked Questions

If I’ve been in an accident in Boise, what kind of compensation can I receive?

Compensation varies on the facts of your individual case. In general there are two types of damages for which we would seek compensation. First, there are special or economic damages. This would include things like past and future medical bills or lost wages that we can put an exact dollar figure on. Second, there are general or non-economic damages. These types of damages include all of the ways the accident has affected you. It is your pain and suffering, inconvenience of life, fear of not getting better, mental and emotional anguish, stress of dealing with the financial implications of the accident, and everything else that you are going through. These types of damages are rarely offered to unrepresented parties but typically account for a larger portion of the value of your case than that special damages. In the end, our goal is to compensate you for all of your damages, past, present and future. 

How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Boise?

For a typical personal injury claim, you have two years from the date of the incident to file your claim. However, there are exceptions to that rule. If the defendant is a governmental entity, your time period to  file a claim is much shorter. If you have a potential case, it’s important to contact an attorney as soon as possible so they can advise you on any issues with the statute of limitations on your claim. 

How can a Boise personal injury attorney help my case?

There are numerous things an attorney can do to help you with your case. One of the most important jobs is to protect you. We protect you from the predatory tactics for the insurance company and make sure you do not have to deal with them in any capacity. We take away any extra stress that we can so you can focus on getting better. We also can help coordinate your medical care. If you need referrals for treatment options, we can provide those and oftentimes, set up liens with providers if you do not have health insurance or cannot pay a large deductible. Finally, when the case is ready, we send a demand and negotiate a settlement on your behalf. If the insurance company is acting unreasonable and we are unable to settle, we have the remedy to file a complaint against the Defendant and seek justice in the courtroom. The bottom line is your attorney should be a zealous advocate for you to get you what is fair and what you deserve.
