How Idaho law treats a crash claim

Fault and insurance system

Idaho isn't one of the 12 no-fault states listed by the Insurance Information Institute, so injury claims run through the at-fault driver's liability insurance.

Minimum liability coverage

Idaho Code 49-117(20) defines proof of financial responsibility as $25,000 for bodily injury to or death of one person in any one accident, $50,000 for two or more people and $15,000 for property damage.

Idaho's fault rule

Idaho uses modified comparative negligence. Under Idaho Code 6-801, contributory negligence doesn't bar recovery if it was not as great as the negligence of the person against whom recovery is sought; damages are reduced by the claimant's share.

Idaho filing deadline

Idaho Code 5-219(4) sets two years for an action for an injury to the person, or for a death caused by the wrongful act or neglect of another. The cause of action accrues at the time of the occurrence, and continuing consequences don't extend it.

Statutes change, so treat this as general information and confirm with the source.

What Idaho intake should ask

Get the crash date first. Under Idaho Code 5-219(4), the two years run from the occurrence itself, and ongoing treatment doesn't extend the deadline.
Note how long ago the crash was. Idaho allows two years under Idaho Code 5-219(4), so anything near the cutoff needs a quick look.
Ask whether the other driver's insurer has been in touch, and note whether the caller carries underinsured coverage; Idaho requires only $25,000 per person in bodily injury liability.
Ask for the county and road where the crash happened. 75% of Idaho's 2024 deaths were on rural roads, so note the exact location for the police report request.
Ask what the caller was riding or driving. Motorcyclists were 20% of Idaho's 2024 crash deaths, so decide up front whether motorcycle callers fit your intake.
