01 · Your filing deadline
What is the deadline in Idaho?
Idaho's personal injury SOL is 2 years (Idaho Code § 5-219). Injury claims arising from abuse of a vulnerable adult generally follow the same 2-year period. Idaho's prelitigation screening panel (Idaho Code § 6-1001) covers claims against physicians and licensed acute care general hospitals, so whether it applies to a nursing home claim depends on the defendant — consult local counsel. 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.

Where would my case be heard?
