When negligence takes a life, surviving family members may bring a wrongful death claim. No amount of money can replace a loved one, but a claim can provide financial stability and a measure of accountability.
Who Can File in Idaho
Idaho law allows the heirs of the deceased — typically a spouse, children, and in some cases parents — or the personal representative of the estate to bring a wrongful death action. The specifics depend on family circumstances.
Damages Available
- Medical and funeral expenses.
- Lost financial support the deceased would have provided.
- Loss of companionship, care, and guidance.
- The survivors' grief and mental anguish.
Idaho's two-year filing deadline generally applies to wrongful death claims, so it is important not to wait.
