Damages Allocation in Idaho
Under Idaho Code § 6-801, damages in a civil action are allocated among multiple defendants according to each defendant’s proportionate share of fault. The statute establishes a system of several liability, meaning a defendant is only responsible for the portion of damages corresponding to the percentage of fault assigned to that defendant by the fact-finder. The court compares the fault of each party, including the plaintiff, and reduces the total damages accordingly. The official source provides the complete rule and any applicable exceptions. The worked example below demonstrates how the allocation operates in a typical scenario. Use the DocketMath calculator to estimate how liability would be divided under your specific facts.
