Why Choose BAM Personal Injury Lawyers in Boise?

BAM Personal Injury Lawyers was founded by Kigan Martineau and Dan Benzion, two attorneys who previously worked at Idaho's largest personal injury firms. They saw how high-volume practices prioritized efficiency over advocacy, treating injury cases as revenue units rather than human tragedies. BAM was founded on a different principle: take fewer cases, dedicate more resources to each one, and fight for the maximum recovery our clients deserve.

We represent only injury victims — never insurance companies, employers, or corporate defendants. This means we have no conflicting interests. Our sole obligation is to maximize your recovery. We advance all case costs and work on a contingency fee basis. You pay nothing unless we win.

Key Idaho Personal Injury Laws You Should Know

Idaho’s injury laws differ from Utah’s in several important ways. If you were hurt in Boise or anywhere in Ada County, these are the rules that will shape your case:

Two-Year Statute of Limitations

Under Idaho Code § 5-219, you generally have two years from the date of your injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. Miss this deadline and your case is almost always barred — no matter how strong the facts are. Claims against Idaho government entities have a much shorter 180-day notice requirement under the Idaho Tort Claims Act.

Modified Comparative Fault (50% Bar)

Idaho follows a modified comparative fault rule under Idaho Code § 6-801. You can still recover damages if you were partially at fault — as long as your share of fault is 50% or less. If you are found 51% or more at fault, you recover nothing. Insurance adjusters routinely try to push injured victims over the 50% line to zero out their claims.

Idaho’s Damage Caps

Idaho caps non-economic damages (pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life) at a statutory amount that adjusts annually. There is no cap on economic damages (medical bills, lost wages, future earning capacity) or on cases involving willful or reckless misconduct.

Idaho Tort Claims Act (Government Defendants)

If your injury involved a city, county, state agency, or public employee in Boise or anywhere in Idaho, you must file a written notice of claim within 180 days under Idaho Code § 6-906. Missing this short deadline destroys claims that would otherwise be worth six or seven figures.

How a BAM Personal Injury Case Works

Every Boise injury case follows a process designed to maximize your recovery while you focus on healing.

1

Free Consultation

We listen to your story, review the facts, and explain whether you have a viable claim under Idaho law. No obligation, no pressure.

2

Investigation & Evidence Preservation

We obtain the crash report, secure surveillance footage, interview witnesses, and retain accident reconstruction experts when needed.

3

Medical Documentation

We coordinate with your medical providers to document the full extent of your injuries and project future treatment costs.

4

Demand & Negotiation

We send a demand package to the at-fault insurer and negotiate aggressively. Most cases settle here — but only at full value.

5

Litigation If Necessary

If the insurer refuses to pay fair value, we file suit in Ada County District Court and prepare for trial.

Boise Personal Injury FAQ

How much does it cost to hire BAM Personal Injury Lawyers?
Nothing upfront. We work on a contingency fee basis, which means you pay no attorney fees unless we recover compensation for you. We also advance all case costs (filing fees, expert witnesses, medical records, etc.) so you have zero out-of-pocket risk.
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Idaho?
Idaho's statute of limitations for most personal injury claims is two years from the date of the injury. There are exceptions and shorter deadlines for certain types of claims (especially those involving government entities), so it's critical to contact an attorney as soon as possible after an injury.
What is my Boise personal injury case worth?
Case value depends on factors including the severity of your injuries, medical costs, lost wages, long-term care needs, pain and suffering, and the available insurance coverage. After a free consultation, our attorneys can give you a realistic range based on similar Idaho cases.
Should I accept the insurance company's first settlement offer?
Almost never. Initial offers are typically a fraction of what your claim is actually worth. Insurance adjusters are trained to settle quickly and cheaply. Always have an experienced personal injury attorney review any offer before you sign or accept anything.
Do you handle cases throughout Idaho, or just Boise?
We represent injury victims throughout Utah and Idaho. Whether your accident happened in Boise or anywhere else in Idaho, BAM Personal Injury Lawyers can help.
Do I have to file my Boise injury case in Ada County court?
Most Boise personal injury cases are filed in Idaho’s Fourth Judicial District Court in Ada County, though some cases can be filed in federal court in the District of Idaho if there is diversity jurisdiction (different-state defendants and more than $75,000 at stake). We evaluate venue strategically — sometimes a different court produces better results for our clients.
What happens if I was partially at fault for my Boise accident?
Idaho follows a modified comparative fault rule. You can still recover damages as long as you are 50% or less at fault, but your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault. If you are found 51% or more at fault, you recover nothing. Insurance companies know this and routinely try to push fault onto injured victims to cut or kill claims — having an experienced Idaho personal injury attorney is the single biggest factor in preventing that.
How quickly should I contact a Boise personal injury lawyer after an accident?
As soon as possible. Evidence disappears quickly — surveillance footage gets overwritten, witness memories fade, vehicles get repaired or totaled, and insurance adjusters start calling within days trying to get recorded statements that can be used against you. The best time to call BAM is the day of the accident, or as soon as you are medically stable. We offer free consultations and there is never a fee unless we recover for you.
