How Idaho law treats workplace burn injuries

Statutory research reviewed 2026-08-14. Not legal advice.

Shared fault
Idaho applies modified comparative fault with a 50% bar: recovery is lost once the injured person's fault equals or exceeds the defendant's.
Idaho Code § 6-801
Damage caps
Idaho caps non-economic damages in ordinary injury cases, not just malpractice. The figure is re-indexed to wage inflation every July 1 and stands at $538,425.04 as of July 1, 2026. The cap does not apply to willful or reckless misconduct.
Idaho Code § 6-1603 (adjusted under § 72-409(2))
Claims against government
Idaho requires notice of a tort claim within 180 days — filed with the Secretary of State for claims against the State, or with the clerk for a city or county. This runs separately from, and expires long before, the two-year filing deadline.
Idaho Code §§ 6-905, 6-906

Directory coverage for Idaho is expanding

We don’t have listings here yet — coverage grows state by state rather than all at once. Burn and fire cases are routinely handled across state lines, so attorneys listed elsewhere in the region may still be able to help.
