What we do in personal injury cases
If someone else's negligence left you hurt, a personal injury claim is how you pursue medical bills, lost income, and other losses under Idaho law. The process is not always straightforward. Insurers have their own playbook, and deadlines are strict.
Browning Law handles serious injury claims across Idaho from our office in Idaho Falls. Allen Browning has practiced here since 1983, tried 114+ jury cases, and secured the $1,834,000 jury verdict in 2009 that was the first motor vehicle verdict over $1 million in Eastern Idaho. We prepare every file for trial while working toward a fair settlement when that makes sense for you.

Types of personal injury cases we handle in Idaho
Statewide representation from our Idaho Falls office. Each page explains that claim type and what to expect next.
Car Accidents
Idaho is an at-fault state. After a collision, compensation usually runs through the negligent driver’s liability insurance, and sometimes your UM/UIM policy. We document fault, injuries, and wage loss statewide.

Truck Accidents
Commercial truck cases often involve federal motor carrier rules, logbooks, and more than one insurance company. We handle catastrophic injury claims when a semi or delivery truck caused the wreck.

Slip and Fall
Property owners and businesses must keep premises reasonably safe. Slip-and-fall and trip-and-fall claims depend on notice, hazard documentation, and how Idaho courts view open-and-obvious dangers.

Pedestrian injury claims require fast work on witness statements, traffic laws, and video before evidence disappears. We represent people struck by cars, trucks, and other vehicles throughout Idaho.
Pedestrian Accidents in Idaho
Bicycle Accidents
Idaho law treats bicycles as vehicles on the road. These claims often involve driver inattention, unsafe passing, or disputes over where the cyclist was riding. We handle liability and damages for injured riders.

Traumatic Brain Injury
Traumatic brain injuries can change memory, mood, work capacity, and daily function. Early scans may look normal while symptoms persist. We build medical and vocational proof for concussion and TBI claims.

Construction Accidents
Some construction injuries support a third-party negligence claim against a contractor, property owner, or equipment operator, separate from workers’ compensation. We sort out which legal paths may apply.

Medical Malpractice
Medical malpractice cases turn on whether care fell below the accepted standard and caused serious harm. They require records review, expert input, and a realistic look at Idaho filing rules.

Wrongful Death
Wrongful death claims in Idaho are brought by specific family members or the estate when negligence causes a fatal injury. We explain who can file, what damages may be available, and how the process works.

Workers’ Compensation
Workers’ compensation covers many on-the-job injuries, but a separate personal injury claim may exist when someone other than your employer caused the harm. We evaluate both options when they overlap.
Workers’ Compensation in IdahoIdaho rules that shape injury claims
These basics apply across the state. Your deadline, fault, and insurance path depend on the facts of your case.
Statute of limitations
Most negligence-based personal injury claims must be filed within two years of the injury (Idaho Code 5-219). Missing the deadline can end your case before it starts.
Comparative fault
Idaho reduces your recovery by your percentage of fault. If you are 50% or more at fault, you may be barred from recovering against other negligent parties (Idaho Code 6-801).
At-fault auto insurance
Idaho is an at-fault state for car crashes. You generally pursue compensation through the negligent driver's liability insurance, and sometimes your own UM/UIM coverage.
Contingency fees
We handle personal injury on contingency. You pay nothing unless we recover money for you. The first consultation is free.
Damages we pursue in Idaho injury claims
Every case is different, but personal injury claims often include economic damages (bills and lost income) and non-economic damages (pain and suffering). We work to document your losses clearly for adjusters, mediators, and if needed, the court.
- Medical bills (past and future care)
- Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
- Pain and suffering and loss of enjoyment of life
- Property damage (for example, vehicle repair or replacement)
- Other out-of-pocket costs tied to the injury

Results that show trial readiness
Insurers respond differently when a firm has real courtroom history. These are verified results from our case history.

Why trial experience matters in injury claims
Most personal injury cases settle. Insurers still pay attention to whether your lawyer will actually take a case to court. Allen Browning worked in the insurance industry before becoming a plaintiff's attorney, which helps us see where adjusters look for weaknesses. With 114+ jury trials and Eastern Idaho's first $1 million-plus motor vehicle verdict, we do not make empty threats about litigation.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do I have to file a claim in Idaho? +
For most negligence-based personal injury claims, Idaho's statute of limitations is generally two years from the date of injury (exceptions can apply). Don't wait. Evidence and witness memories fade. Contact us so we can evaluate your deadline.
What if I was partly at fault for the accident? +
Idaho applies comparative fault: your recovery may be reduced by your percentage of fault. If you are found 50% or more at fault, you generally cannot recover damages in a negligence claim against other parties. We evaluate shared fault early and explain how it may affect your case.
What damages can I recover? +
You may be entitled to medical costs, lost income, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and more. In fatal cases, you may have a wrongful death claim.
Do I need to go to court? +
Most cases settle out of court, but we prepare every case as if it will go to trial. With 114+ jury trials, our trial experience gives us leverage in negotiations.
How much does it cost to hire a personal injury lawyer? +
We work on a contingency fee basis. You pay nothing unless we win your case. The same applies to our workers' compensation cases. Learn more about what a personal injury lawyer does and how we can help.
What should I do immediately after an accident? +
Seek medical attention, document everything, gather witness information, and contact us as soon as possible to protect your rights.
How long does a personal injury case take? +
Every case is different. We work efficiently while keeping you informed at each stage. See our case results for examples.
