How to run Treble Damages in DocketMath for Idaho

Idaho treble damages rules

This source-backed guide covers US-ID treble damages authority (Idaho Code § 48-608 (Idaho Consumer Protection Act — vulnerable-victim treble); Idaho Code § 6-202 (timber/civil trespass treble)). It explains how to read the calculator's multiplier output and points to the controlling Idaho multiplier statutes.

What the output means

Run this scenario in DocketMath using the Treble Damages calculator.

When the calculator shows a multiplier result, read it as a statutory multiplier on the base damages figure, not as a separate damages category.

• Base damages stay the same until the multiplier is applied.
• The statutory multiplier changes the total by the rule-specified factor.
• Any cap, exception, or carve-out still controls if the statute says it does.

Idaho rule notes

Statutory multiplier

Idaho Code § 48-608 (Idaho Consumer Protection Act — vulnerable-victim treble); Idaho Code § 6-202 (timber/civil trespass treble) governs the treble (multiple) damages rule for US-ID.

48-608. Any person who purchases or leases goods or services and thereby suffers any ascertainable loss of money or property... may bring an action to recover actual damages or one thousand dollars ($1,000), whichever is the greater. The court may, in its discretion, award punitive damages and may provide such equitable relief as it deems necessary or proper.

What changes the result most

• The base damages input, because the multiplier applies to that number.
• The statutory multiplier itself, because 2x, 3x, and 4x produce different totals.
• Any cap or carve-out in the statute, because it can limit the multiplied amount.

Use the calculator

DocketMath's treble-damages calculator can model multiplier outcomes once you identify the controlling statute and whether a cap or exception applies. Use the source panel for the verified primary-source rule.
