Idaho's Fault System
Idaho follows a modified comparative negligence system with a 50% bar. Injured parties who are found to be 50% or more at fault cannot recover damages. If less than 50% at fault, damages are reduced in proportion to their share of responsibility. This system balances fairness with accountability. Proper documentation of the accident, including police reports and witness statements, is essential to protect your right to recover damages.

Insurance Requirements
Idaho drivers must carry minimum liability coverage of 25/50/15. This includes $25,000 per person for bodily injury, $50,000 per accident, and $15,000 for property damage. Liability coverage pays for injuries and property damage caused to others. Insurers must also offer uninsured motorist coverage, which provides protection if the at-fault driver lacks sufficient insurance. Maintaining UM coverage is important to safeguard against accidents involving uninsured or underinsured drivers.
