Idaho State Statutes - Idaho Attorney Directory

(1) A
release by the injured person of one (1) joint tortfeasor, whether before or
after judgment, does not discharge the other tortfeasors unless the release so
provides, but, unless otherwise provided in subsection (2) of this section,
reduces the claim against the other tortfeasors in the amount of the
consideration paid for the release, or in any amount or proportion by which
the release provides that the total claim shall be reduced, if such amount or
proportion is greater than the consideration paid.
(2) A release by the injured person of one (1) or more tortfeasors who
are not jointly and severally liable to the injured person, whether before or
after judgment, does not discharge another tortfeasor or reduce the claim
against another tortfeasor unless the release so provides and the negligence
or comparative responsibility of the tortfeasor receiving the release is
presented to and considered by the finder of fact, whether or not the finder
of fact apportions responsibility to the tortfeasor receiving the release.
