With Interstate 84 freight and commuter traffic between Nampa and Boise, drivers in Canyon County too often fail to yield, and a pedestrian struck by a vehicle almost always comes away with the more serious injuries.

The evidence that decides pedestrian accident claims
- Photos before repairs — vehicles, the scene, skid marks, and visible injuries, taken before anything is fixed or healed.
- Medical records from day one — the first visit ties the injury to the incident; gaps in treatment become the insurer's argument.
- Witness names and numbers — collected at the scene, because witnesses scatter quickly.
- Camera footage — dashcams, doorbells, and business cameras near the scene often recorded it, and most systems overwrite within days or weeks.
- Official reports — the report number is the key that opens the record later.
- A simple log — symptoms, missed work, and expenses, kept as they happen.
None of this requires deciding anything about lawyers — it just preserves the claim while the evidence still exists.

Why quick action matters in Idaho
Idaho generally allows two years from the date of injury for most personal injury and wrongful death lawsuits (Idaho Code 5-219). But claims involving a government entity require a written notice of claim within 180 days under the Idaho Tort Claims Act — a jurisdictional deadline that is fatal to a claim if missed. Evidence also fades quickly. This is general information, not legal advice; a participating law firm can explain the deadlines that apply to you.

Requesting a case review through this website is free. A participating law firm will explain any fees during your consultation.
How long do I have to file a claim in Idaho?
Idaho generally allows two years from the date of injury for most personal injury lawsuits, and two years for wrongful death. Claims involving a government entity require a written notice of claim within 180 days — a strict, jurisdictional deadline. This is general information, not legal advice. A participating law firm can explain the deadlines that apply to you.
What if I was hit outside a crosswalk?
You may still have a claim. Idaho's modified comparative negligence rule reduces a recovery by your share of fault and bars it only once your fault is as great as the driver's. A participating law firm can review what happened.
How much is a pedestrian accident case worth in Nampa?
There's no set amount — it depends on your injuries, medical treatment, lost income, and how it happened. A participating Idaho law firm can review your Nampa situation and explain what a claim or settlement might involve. This is general information, not legal advice, and no outcome is guaranteed.
Should I accept the insurance company's first offer in Nampa?
