Filing Deadline in Idaho
Idaho has a 2-year statute of limitations for product liability claims.
⚠️ Important: Many workers don't connect their lung disease to engineered stone until years after exposure. Under the discovery rule, your deadline may start from when you discovered the connection. Don't assume you've missed your window — consult an attorney.
Workers' Compensation & Your Lawsuit Rights in Idaho
Idaho workers' compensation does not bar a separate lawsuit against product manufacturers.
You can pursue both workers' compensation benefits and a product liability lawsuit against stone manufacturers simultaneously in most cases. An attorney can advise on coordination rules specific to Idaho.
