About Townsend Law, P.C. — Personal Injury Boise General Practice

Additional Boise personal injury attorneys are available for clients who prefer specialist firms.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why choose a general practice firm for a personal injury case in Boise?
A general practice firm with PI capability is particularly valuable when an injury creates ripple effects across other legal areas — for example, a serious accident may prompt updated estate plans, address family law concerns if disability affects custody arrangements, or require property-related legal work if a home needs modification. Townsend Law can address all of these without additional referrals.
What is the deadline for filing a personal injury lawsuit in Idaho?
Idaho Code § 5-219(4) sets a two-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims from the date of injury. Missing this deadline eliminates the right to sue, making prompt attorney consultation important after any accident that causes injury or significant property damage.
Does Idaho’s comparative fault rule apply to all personal injury cases?
Idaho’s modified comparative fault rule applies to most personal injury tort claims, including car accidents, premises liability, and negligence cases. If a plaintiff is found partially at fault, their recovery is reduced by their fault percentage — and barred entirely if their fault reaches or exceeds 50%.
