As far as the statute of limitations, it's entirely possible that the statute is 2-3 years or longer for the claims in this suit. It's not unheard of or even odd for the statute to be at least that length. (Disclaimer: although I'm an attorney, I'm not admitted to practice law in Idaho).

There could be a number of reasons for waiting two years. A lot of times in personal injury actions, plaintiffs will wait until they have a clear idea of their medical picture before they sue. Or, they could have been negotiating with the various insurance carriers/parties, and ended up having to file suit because of the statute of limitations. Again, it's not uncommon to wait some time to sue, especially where there are significant injuries involved.

Again, depending on the particular allegations in the complaint, it's possible they could keep some of the other parties (besides SAE) in the suit and get some sort of settlement out of them.
