Helping Families Across Southern Idaho After a Devastating Loss
Losing a loved one unexpectedly due to someone else’s negligence is one of life’s most difficult challenges.

At Litster Frost Injury Lawyers, we understand the emotional and financial burdens wrongful death brings. Our compassionate legal team is dedicated to helping families hold negligent parties accountable while securing the financial support needed during this painful time.
What is a Wrongful Death Claim?
A wrongful death claim is a legal action brought when someone dies due to the negligence or misconduct of another party. Common causes of wrongful death in Southern Idaho include:
-
Truck accidents involving commercial or private vehicles
-
Motorcycle crashes caused by distracted or impaired drivers
-
Workplace accidents not covered by workers’ compensation or involving employer negligence
-
Car accidents caused by reckless or negligent driving
-
Other fatal injuries caused by unsafe conditions or product defects
Idaho law allows close family members—such as spouses, children, or parents—to file wrongful death claims seeking compensation for their losses.
Who Can File a Wrongful Death Claim?
Under Idaho Statutes § 5-311, certain relatives are eligible to bring wrongful death claims, including:
-
Surviving spouses
-
Children
-
Parents
-
Legal heirs or beneficiaries designated by law
These claims help families recover damages to cover funeral and burial costs, lost income and support, pain and suffering, and other losses caused by the death.
Types of Damages in Wrongful Death Cases
Families who file wrongful death claims in Twin Falls and across Southern Idaho may be entitled to:
-
Economic damages: Lost wages and benefits from the deceased, medical bills prior to death, funeral and burial expenses
-
Non-economic damages: Emotional pain and suffering, loss of companionship, mental anguish
-
Punitive damages: In cases involving gross negligence or intentional harm, additional damages may be awarded to punish the responsible party
Our attorneys fight to maximize the compensation you receive so your family can focus on healing without added financial stress.
