Below, we go into further detail about some of the more common causes of slip-and-fall accidents in Idaho and some of the details you’ll need to know when you pursue your slip-and-fall claim.

Common Causes of Slip-and-Falls in Idaho

Any time you fall on someone else’s property, you could have grounds for a slip-and-fall accident claim. Your claim will only be successful if you can prove the property owner’s negligence was the cause of your injuries. Some of the more common causes of Idaho slip-and-falls include:

These are only a few of the different ways your slip-and-fall accident could have occurred. If you were injured differently than described above, and you believe someone else could be culpable, contact our office to discuss the details of your case.

Filing an Idaho Slip-and-Fall Lawsuit

If you are getting ready to move forward with a slip-and-fall claim, there are a couple of different personal injury laws you will want to be aware of. The first law is the statute of limitations . Idaho law only allows injury victims a maximum of two years to file a civil claim for a slip-and-fall accident. If your claim isn’t filed before time runs out, you will no longer be able to seek justice in civil court.

You should also be aware of the state’s shared fault laws. It is more common than you might think for slip-and-fall victims to share fault for their injuries. Idaho follows a modified comparative fault system. So as long as you are forty-nine percent or less at fault for the accident, you can still be awarded compensation. However, expect your injury settlement to be reduced by the amount of fault you carry. For example, if you were ten percent liable, then you could expect your award to be reduced by ten percent.

Client Reviews

“I was concerned with all the paperwork”

Before calling your firm I had 2 big worries. One was I didn’t want to do more paper work, and that fear was resolved when I had to do very little, but Craig Swapp and Assoc. did most of it, and when I did have to come in to sign papers they worked around the times I could do it. Worry 2 was I didn’t want people to think I was “sue happy” and that I was just out to get money. I just wanted my bills to be paid for that were from the accident, and that was resolved I think by Mr. Wes Mortenson and Theresa because they listened to what I had to say.

"I would hire them in a second"

My biggest fear was not having all the expenses caused by the accident paid for in full. I was assured they would be taken care of but I admit I was skeptical. When we wrapped everything up (which happened quicker than I was originally told) I had extra money in my pocket. I honestly thought there was a catch but my attorney explained everything to me in detail. If I am ever in that position again I’ll be giving Craig Swapp a call.

"I was afraid of the fees"

I was afraid of the fees I would have to pay a lawyer. I waited over a year before hiring your law firm. I finally reached out to your online help where they were able to help me understand the process and what would happen. In all honesty I absolutely loved working with the individuals that were involved in my case. They were genuine & heartfelt about my case. It felt as though they really cared and were concerned about me, not just as a client but as a person.

"I was afraid that my issue was too small"

I was afraid that my issue was too small to be handled, and that it would just be rejected. Or that I’d end up having to pay for my medical expenses and any of your teams expenses. I would definitely answer yes, it was resolved! I wasn’t ever made out to feel like my little issue didn’t matter, and my expenses were paid for- just what I wanted/needed.

"I am very pleased with the results"

My biggest fear was that it would be pointless to pursue legal action in my case. I felt like maybe I didn’t have much of a case. After speaking with Paul, I realize it was not of my own fault and that others can be held responsible for the pain and suffering I went through.
