The insurance company
Idaho also operates the comparative fault rule, which hinges on the at-fault doctrine. This means that plaintiffs can only get compensation for as much as they are responsible for the cause of an accident. What this means is that, if the court finds you to be 40% responsible for an accident, 40% damages will be deducted from your potential compensation or award while the other party bears the rest.
However, if you are more than 50% at fault, your claims will be denied. In Idaho, there is no cap on economic damages like medical bills and loss of wages. However, there is a $250,000 cap on emotional or non-economic damages.
Car accidents in Idaho
Idaho Transportation Department of Highway Safety reported a 2.1% increase in motor vehicle crashes in 2017 from 2016 records. Idaho recorded 25,851 crashes in 2017 and 245 fatalities in the same year. Idaho’s fatality rate was 1.42 per 100 million miles traveled.
It may interest you to know that 76% of motor vehicle crashes were recorded on urban roads, with impaired driving claiming 33% of all the fatalities in 2017. Other causes of fatal car accidents included youthful driving, aggressive driving, not wearing seat belts, and distracted driving. With more pedestrians and bicyclists getting caught in commercial motor vehicle accidents, one has to be safely cautious at all times — especially when you are on the road.
How do you have to file your claim in Idaho?
Time is of the essence whenever you decide to file your claims or sue a party for damages. The statute of limitations puts a time limit on how much time you have to file your claims in courts. Plaintiffs are expected to file their claims and sue for damages as soon as the harm was done or the injury was discovered. If you delay the lawsuit, you risk losing your right to get compensation.
