Idaho Slip and Fall Settlement Calculator
Estimate a slip and fall settlement under Idaho law. The calculator applies this jurisdiction's own comparative fault rule and damages ceilings, and every figure below is the one our verified data holds, with the statute behind it and the date we checked it.
What Idaho law does to your claim
Four things in state law shape a slip and fall claim: how long you have to file, how soon a government must be told when it owns the property, what happens if you were partly at fault, and whether the state puts a ceiling on what a jury can award. Here is what we hold for this one.
Idaho bars recovery if plaintiff is 50% or more at fault.
Idaho Code § 6-801·Source retrieved 2026-07-27
A claim against the state must be presented to and filed with the secretary of state, and a claim against a political subdivision with its clerk or secretary, within 180 days from the date the claim arose or reasonably should have been discovered, whichever is later. Idaho Code §§ 6-905, 6-906 reads: “All claims against the state arising under the provisions of this act and all claims against an employee of the state for any act or omission of the employee within the course or scope of his employment shall be presented to and filed with the secretary of state within one hundred eighty (180) days from the date the claim arose or reasonably should have been discovered, whichever is later.” and “shall be presented to and filed with the clerk or secretary of the political subdivision within one hundred eighty (180) days from the date the claim arose or reasonably should have been discovered, whichever is later.” We read this section only, so it is not a complete account of suing a government in Idaho.

None on record means our verified data holds no figure of this kind for this state. It is not a finding that no limit could apply to your claim.
What partial fault costs you in Idaho
The same claim, fracture with surgery, several months of recovery, run through the calculator above four times, with nothing changed but the share of fault assigned to the claimant. The numbers are the engine's output, not an editorial claim about what these cases are worth.
One case, run through the calculator above four times with only the claimant's share of fault changed, under Idaho law. No coverage ceiling is applied, because we would be inventing the at-fault party's policy. These shares illustrate the rule; they are not an estimate of your own fault.
Every Idaho deadline we hold
A claim can be more than one kind of case, and the clock is different for each. These are the Idaho periods in our verified data, with the statute behind each one. A deadline is the outside limit, never a target, and other rules can shorten it.

Every count below is read from our state-law data across all 51 jurisdictions, so it moves when the data does. What you will not find here is an average settlement figure: the only one we could compute is a model, and a model presented as a measurement is not a fact.
- 10 of the 51 jurisdictions we track apply modified comparative negligence with a 50% bar, and Idaho is one of them.
- Its 2 years to file is the same as the most common deadline in the country, which 25 jurisdictions use. Across the 51 jurisdictions the deadline for this case type runs from 1 year to 6 years.
- We have read the official text of 30 jurisdictions' rules on the notice or claim a government must receive before an injury suit, and Idaho is one of them: 180 days, under Idaho Code §§ 6-905, 6-906.
- 7 of the 51 jurisdictions limit non-economic damages (pain and suffering) in our data and Idaho is not among them, so an estimate here is not held down by a ceiling we hold.
Comparisons are drawn from the legal levers that actually move a case value, not from closed-case data, which we do not hold. See the full methodology
