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.
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.
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.
