Waiting for action...
Butte has always been built on hard work. From its mining history to today’s construction projects, industrial employers, transportation corridors, and local businesses, people throughout the community work in demanding environments and travel busy roads every day. When someone else’s negligence causes a serious injury, the consequences often reach far beyond the accident itself.
At Conner, Marr & Pinski, we’ve represented injured Montanans for decades and understand the challenges people face after serious accidents. Medical treatment, missed paychecks, insurance companies, and uncertainty about the future can quickly become overwhelming while you’re trying to recover.
Butte’s economy has long been connected to industries that involve heavy equipment, commercial vehicles, skilled trades, and physically demanding work. Mining remains an important part of the area’s identity, while construction, utility work, manufacturing, transportation, and healthcare employ thousands of people throughout the region.
Those industries also create situations where serious injuries can occur. Heavy machinery, large commercial trucks, industrial equipment, elevated work areas, and busy construction sites all present risks when proper safety procedures are not followed.
Not every injury happens at work. Commercial traffic along Interstate 15, Interstate 90, Harrison Avenue, and other major roadways contributes to collisions involving passenger vehicles, tractor-trailers, motorcycles, and pedestrians throughout Butte.
Personal injury claims are based on evidence showing how an injury occurred and who may be legally responsible.
A crash may involve a distracted driver or a commercial trucking company. A fall may result from unsafe property conditions. An industrial accident could involve a contractor, equipment manufacturer, or another company working at the same job site. Understanding those facts often requires much more than reviewing an accident report. Photographs, maintenance records, witness statements, medical records, and other evidence frequently help explain how the injury occurred and whether another person or business failed to act reasonably.
Following a serious accident, insurance companies frequently begin gathering information before an injured person has fully recovered. Adjusters may review police reports, inspect damaged vehicles, request medical records, interview witnesses, and evaluate the circumstances surrounding the accident.
Early settlement offers do not always reflect the long-term effects of a serious injury. Medical treatment may continue for months, and some injuries permanently affect a person’s ability to work or perform everyday activities. Allowing an attorney to communicate with the insurance company helps protect your claim while you focus on your recovery.
Our firm represents clients in a wide variety of personal injury matters throughout Butte and Southwest Montana, including:
Many industrial workplaces also involve contractors working alongside one another. In some situations, an injured worker may have a third-party personal injury claim in addition to a workers’ compensation claim. Identifying every potentially responsible party is an important part of evaluating these cases.
Every accident presents different questions.
A trucking collision may require reviewing driver qualifications, maintenance records, electronic data, and company safety policies. An industrial accident may involve equipment inspections, OSHA investigations, contractor agreements, and workplace safety records. A premises liability claim may depend on maintenance logs, surveillance footage, or inspection reports showing whether a dangerous condition existed before the injury occurred.
