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.
