What is the deadline in Idaho?

Idaho personal injury SOL: 2 years (Idaho Code § 5-219). Minor tolling: the SOL is paused during minority, but for no more than 6 years (§ 5-230), so a child injured as an infant generally has until about age 8 to file. Wrongful death: 2 years (§ 5-219). A lawyer can confirm yours.

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's 2-year personal injury SOL is paused during minority for no more than 6 years, so surviving NEC children generally have until about age 8 to file. Idaho has a relatively small NICU system, with St. Luke's Children's Hospital in Boise serving as the primary Level III center. Idaho families often pursue NEC claims alongside national MDL 3026 plaintiffs.
