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 follows modified comparative fault with a 50% bar. Idaho product liability law follows the Restatement Second § 402A strict liability standard. Ada County (Boise) is the primary venue for significant product liability claims. Idaho's rural and working-class communities have elevated instant soup consumption, and children represent a substantial share of burn victims given affordable meal preparation at home.
