Idaho Auto Insurance & Crash Law
VictimsGuide’s Idaho library organizes the rules that matter after a motor-vehicle crash: compulsory liability insurance, UM/UIM, permissive use, claims handling, employer and commercial coverage, government claims, comparative negligence, damages, settlement and case authority.
Idaho rules to identify early
- Minimum liability: Idaho’s ordinary minimum liability limits are 25/50/15.
- UM/UIM: uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage is governed by statutory offer/rejection requirements and the actual policy forms.
- Comparative negligence: Idaho follows modified comparative negligence; claimant fault reduces damages and can bar recovery at the statutory threshold.
- Government claims: public-entity crashes require separate notice, immunity and procedural analysis.
Preserve the complete policy, UM/UIM forms, crash report, photographs, video and electronic evidence, and investigate employer, commercial, umbrella and excess coverage before signing a release.
Current-law review: September 17, 2026. Verify current Idaho statutes, Department of Insurance guidance, appellate authority and the policy actually issued before relying on this educational guide.
