Understand an Idaho injury claim, from fault rules to deadlines
The two-year deadline, the 50 percent fault bar, the noneconomic damages cap, and the 180-day notice for claims against government entities.
ABOUT THIS BOOK
An accident has left someone hurt, and the questions start right away: who pays, how fault is counted, and how long there is to act. Idaho answers those questions with rules that differ from many states.
The Idaho Personal Injury Guide explains how injury claims work under Idaho negligence law, from the first insurance call to a lawsuit in the Magistrate Division or District Court. It covers the two-year statute of limitations in Idaho Code § 5-219(4) and the modified comparative negligence rule in § 6-801, under which a person 50% or more at fault recovers nothing.
The guide also explains:
• The noneconomic damages cap under § 6-1603, set at $538,425.04 for July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027, and its exceptions
• Idaho's limits on joint and several liability
• The 180-day notice of tort claim for claims against government entities
• Worker's compensation, dram shop, and wrongful death claims
• Discovery, settlement, and trial
Separate chapters speak to the injured person and to the defendant or insurer. Checklists, comparison tables, a glossary, and questions for an attorney complete the guide.
For anyone on either side of an Idaho injury claim. Legal information, not legal advice.

QUESTIONS BEFORE YOU BUY
Idaho personal injury claim: what to know before you order.
Straight answers about what the guide is, what it covers and how it reaches you.
How long do I have to file an injury lawsuit in Idaho?
Generally two years from the date of injury under Idaho Code § 5-219(4), with limited exceptions. Claims against government entities also require notice within 180 days.
Can I recover if I was partly at fault in Idaho?
Yes, if your share of fault is under 50%. Damages are reduced by your percentage of fault, and at 50% or more you recover nothing (Idaho Code § 6-801).
Is this legal advice?
No. It is legal information in plain language, cited to the law, so you understand your options and know what to ask. Reading it creates no attorney-client relationship.
