What is the deadline in Idaho?
Idaho has a 2-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims from car accidents (IC § 5-219). The clock starts on the date of the accident. A lawyer can confirm yours.
2 years from date of accident
Source: IC § 5-219
Deadlines vary; a lawyer can confirm yours. An older diagnosis or a past filing window does not, by itself, establish whether you have a claim.
02 · Where cases are heard
Where would my case be heard?
Idaho is an at-fault state with modified comparative negligence using a 50% bar — plaintiffs who are 50% or more at fault cannot recover damages. Idaho drivers face unique hazards including wildlife collisions (deer and elk), treacherous mountain road conditions, and long distances between emergency medical services in rural areas.
