LANSING, Chief Judge.

This is an appeal from an award of attorney fees in a personal injury action. The defendants, as prevailing parties, were awarded attorney fees pursuant to Idaho Code § 12-120(1). The plaintiff appeals, arguing that defendants may not recover attorney fees in personal injury actions under § 12-120. We find the plaintiff's interpretation of the statute to be correct, and we therefore reverse.

I.
