Damages
In a personal injury case, damages can be either economic or noneconomic in nature.
Economic
We work tirelessly to ensure that you receive compensation for economic losses that have an explicit monetary value. Our pursuit of economic damages includes:
- Loss of earnings
- Medical care – including physician, hospital, and pharmacy bills
- Domestic services
- Funeral expenses in the case of wrongful death
Noneconomic
Understanding the intangible and subjective nature of noneconomic damages, we are committed to pursuing fair compensation for these losses. Noneconomic damages may encompass:
- Pain and suffering
- Mental anguish
- Loss of quality of life
- Emotional distress
- Disability or disfigurement
- Loss of society and companionship
- Loss of consortium

Our goal is always to ensure that our clients have the resources they need to move forward with their lives.
Idaho Law and Compensation Caps
While Idaho law allows victims to pursue full compensation for their damages, there are limits on noneconomic damages. It’s important to work with an experienced personal injury attorney who understands the nuances of Idaho law and how it can impact a client’s case.
Personal Injury Claim Timeline
The process of seeking compensation for your personal injury can be complex and may take some time.
While every case is unique, here is a general timeline of the personal injury claim process:
Initial Consultation
Schedule a free legal consultation with our experienced personal injury attorney, Jim Bendell. During this meeting, we will discuss the details of your case and provide an overview of the timeline you can expect.
Filing the Complaint
Once you decide to move forward with your case, we will file a complaint in court. This formally begins your lawsuit and initiates the legal process.
Discovery Phase
During the discovery phase, our attorney will gather evidence to support your claim. This may involve requesting medical records, depositions from experts and witnesses, and other forms of evidence. This phase is crucial in building a strong case for the damages you are entitled to.
Settlement Negotiations
While preparing for the possibility of a trial, Attorney Bendell will also engage in settlement negotiations with the opposing party or their insurance company. Most personal injury claims are resolved through negotiations and settled out of court.
Reasonable and Prompt Settlement
It is important to note that while there is no set deadline for insurance companies to settle a claim under Idaho law, they are required to settle “reasonably and promptly.” We will work diligently to ensure your claim proceeds within a reasonable timeline and counter any tactics used by insurers to prolong the process.
Trial (If Necessary)
If a settlement cannot be reached, Attorney Bendell will proceed to trial. The length of the trial process can vary, but it could take two years or longer before a resolution is obtained.
Compensation
Once a settlement is reached or a verdict is obtained, you will receive your compensation for lost wages, medical bills, pain and suffering, and other damages associated with your injury.
