If you were injured in an Idaho car crash, one of the first questions you probably have is, “What’s my case worth?” The truth is, settlement amounts vary—there’s no one-size-fits-all number. But there are key factors that determine how much compensation you can recover.
There is no official statewide “average,” but most Idaho car accident settlements fall between $15,000 and $100,000. That range depends on the severity of injuries, insurance policy limits, and fault.
In serious cases—such as spinal injuries, brain trauma, or wrongful death—settlements can exceed $500,000 or result in a trial verdict worth much more.
Broken bones, surgeries, and long-term damage drive higher settlement values than soft tissue injuries.
Settlements include compensation for past and future care. That includes hospital visits, physical therapy, medication, and surgeries.
If you missed work or can’t return to your job, your claim should include lost wages and reduced earning ability.
Idaho allows damages for physical pain, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life.
Idaho follows modified comparative fault. If you're found to be 50% or more at fault, you can’t recover damages. Even if you're less than 50% at fault, your compensation is reduced proportionally.
Even a serious injury case can settle for less if the at-fault driver only has the Idaho minimum coverage: $25,000 per person / $50,000 per accident. That’s why uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage (UM/UIM) is crucial.
Insurance adjusters often lowball injured drivers, especially if they don’t have legal representation. Before you accept any offer, talk to an experienced Idaho car accident lawyer.
