What Damages Are Available After an Idaho Car Accident?

The damages that are available after a car collision in Idaho usually fall into two categories. In the legal term, we refer to those as special damages and general damages. Special damages are anything that has a specific dollar figure associated with it. So if you’ve incurred a medical bill, if you’ve lost wages, or you have out-of-pocket expenses, we can figure out what those numbers are in order to recover those losses that you sustain. You’re also entitled to general damages which encompass the things that can’t be quantified of the dollar figure. This is often referred to as pain and suffering. And so you’d be entitled to a combination of both special damages and general damages.
