What Compensation Can I Recover After a Pedestrian Accident?
Pedestrian accidents often result in severe injuries that require extensive treatment and long recovery periods. Idaho law allows you to seek compensation for both economic and non-economic losses, including:
- Medical expenses, including emergency care, surgeries, hospital stays, and rehabilitation
- Future medical costs for ongoing treatment or long-term care needs
- Lost wages from time missed at work during recovery
- Reduced earning capacity if injuries prevent you from returning to your previous job
- Pain and suffering for physical discomfort and emotional distress
- Loss of enjoyment of life when injuries limit your ability to participate in activities you once loved
Our attorneys carefully evaluate every aspect of your case to pursue the maximum compensation available. We work with medical experts and economists to document your losses and build a compelling claim. If you have lost a loved one in a pedestrian accident, we also handle wrongful death claims and can help your family seek justice.
How Idaho’s Comparative Fault Law Affects Your Claim
Idaho follows a modified comparative negligence system, which means you can still recover compensation even if you were partially at fault for the accident. Under Idaho Code § 6-801, your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault. However, if you are found to be 50 percent or more responsible, you cannot recover any damages.
Insurance companies often try to shift blame onto injured pedestrians, claiming jaywalking or distraction, to reduce what they pay. Our attorneys know these tactics and fight back with a thorough investigation and strong evidence. We work to minimize any fault attributed to you and maximize your recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do I have to file a pedestrian accident lawsuit in Idaho?
Under Idaho law, you generally have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. Missing this deadline typically means losing your right to pursue compensation. Contacting an attorney soon after your accident helps preserve evidence and protects your claim.
What should I do immediately after being hit by a car?
Seek medical attention right away, even if your injuries seem minor. Some injuries, like internal bleeding or traumatic brain injuries, may not show symptoms immediately. Call the police to report the accident and obtain a copy of the police report. If possible, take photos of the scene, your injuries, and any vehicle damage. Get contact information from witnesses. Then contact an experienced pedestrian accident attorney to discuss your options.
Can I still recover compensation if the driver was uninsured?
Yes. If the at-fault driver lacks insurance or has insufficient coverage, you may be able to file a claim under your own uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage. Our attorneys can review your insurance policies and identify all available sources of compensation to help you recover the damages you deserve.
