Idaho truck accident law — key points

Three legal questions affect almost every truck accident case in Idaho. Each is governed by a public statute we link below — you can verify everything.

Comparative negligence rule

Modified comparative negligence (50% bar)

See statute

Idaho uses modified comparative fault with a 50% bar (Idaho Code § 6-801). Plaintiff can recover only if her fault is less than 50%.

Damages caps

No cap on compensatory damages

See statute

No statutory cap on compensatory damages in ordinary PI cases. Non-economic damages have a cap that was struck down on constitutional grounds, then re-enacted in modified form.
