St. Luke’s Magic Valley Medical Center is the only trauma center in Twin Falls. The Idaho Time Sensitive Emergency (TSE) System designates this hospital as a Level III facility. For more serious head injuries, patients may require a transfer to a higher-level trauma center in Boise or Idaho Falls.
Care and support in a dedicated trauma facility can be expensive, especially when surgery and extended hospitalization are necessary. Inpatient rehabilitation may also be necessary for some victims. This, plus the effects of lasting injuries on daily life, makes these injuries expensive to manage and live with.

Negligence can cause many types of accidents and incidents that lead to traumatic brain injuries. These acts could include violating traffic laws, allowing unsafe conditions on a premises, or failing to follow safety rules. Some types of accidents where someone else’s negligence commonly causes a brain injury could include:
- Car Accidents: Violent collisions cause the brain to collide with items inside the car or the skull, leading to concussions, contusions, or other head injuries.
- Truck Accidents: Larger vehicles create stronger forces when they collide, increasing the risk of severe brain trauma.
- Motorcycle Accidents: Motorcycle riders are especially vulnerable to head injuries, even with helmets.
- Bicycle and Pedestrian Accidents: Being struck by a vehicle can cause the head to hit the ground, the vehicle, or other objects, resulting in a brain injury.
- Falls: Slip and fall incidents, especially from heights or on hard surfaces, can cause the head to strike the floor, stairs, or furniture.
- Other Negligence Incidents: Workplace accidents, construction accidents, sports injuries, or assaults can also cause traumatic brain injuries.
What Is the Basis of a Twin Falls, ID, Brain Injury Case?
To hold someone accountable for a brain injury under Idaho law, we must prove that they acted negligently and caused the accident and your resulting injury. There are four key elements of negligence. We must have strong evidence to show each element occurred to hold the at-fault party liable. These elements include:
- Duty of Care: The accused party owed a legal duty to act reasonably to avoid causing you harm. For example, drivers must follow traffic laws.
- Breach of Duty: They failed to meet that duty because of their careless or reckless actions.
- Causation: That party’s breach caused your accident and brain injury.
- Damages: You suffered harm, such as medical bills, lost income, and pain and suffering, because of the injury.
Per Idaho Statutes § 6-801, Idaho follows a comparative negligence system. This means that you could recover compensation even if you contributed to causing your accident. However, this could reduce the damages you can recover based on your percentage of fault.
To protect your rights to fair compensation, we must build a compelling case with robust evidence to show what happened and how the accused party’s negligence caused your injuries. We will use medical records, witness testimony, accident reports, video, and expert analysis to hold the responsible party liable.
