Car accidents can cause a wide range of injuries, from minor aches that fade in a few weeks to life-altering trauma. Even what seems like a “fender bender” can leave you dealing with pain, medical bills, and time away from work. Our Great Falls car accident lawyers have seen it all and are ready to help you recover full compensation for every type of injury, including:
Whiplash and neck injuries
Concussions and traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
Spinal cord and back injuries
Broken bones and fractures
Internal bleeding and organ damage
Soft tissue injuries
Emotional distress and PTSD
We understand that healing takes time — and money. That’s why we fight to make sure your settlement covers all your damages, not just the immediate costs.
Every crash is different, but many stem from the same dangerous driving habits. Whether it happened on a busy city street or a quiet rural highway, we can help you uncover what caused your accident and hold the right people accountable. Some of the most common types of car accidents we handle include:
Rear-end collisions
Head-on crashes
Distracted driving accidents (texting, phone use, etc.)
Drunk and impaired driving accidents
Speeding and reckless driving
T-bone and intersection collisions
Multi-vehicle pileups
Accidents caused by poor weather or road conditions
Montana’s unpredictable winters and long stretches of open highway make driving here unique — and sometimes dangerous. Whether your crash involved another driver, a commercial vehicle, or unsafe road conditions, we’ll get to the bottom of it and protect your right to fair compensation.
After a crash, your safety and your health come first. Once you’re safe, there are steps you can take to protect your rights and make sure your claim is as strong as possible:
Call 911 to report the crash and request medical help.
Get medical attention — even if you feel fine, some injuries don’t show up right away.
Take photos and videos of the scene, vehicles, and visible injuries.
Exchange information with the other drivers involved.
Avoid admitting fault or making guesses about what happened.
Contact a Montana car accident lawyer before you talk to the insurance companies.
Insurance adjusters often seem friendly, but their goal is to minimize payouts. Our attorneys can step in right away to handle communication and make sure nothing you say is used against you later.
Determining who’s at fault isn’t always simple. Montana uses a “fault” system, meaning the person (or people) who caused the accident are responsible for paying for the damages. But sometimes more than one party shares the blame. Liability can fall on:
Another driver who acted carelessly
An employer whose worker was driving on the job
A vehicle manufacturer if a defect caused the crash
A government agency that failed to maintain safe roads
Montana’s comparative negligence law also allows you to recover damages even if you were partly at fault — as long as you were less than 50% responsible. That’s one of the reasons a strong investigation is so important. Our team works to gather the evidence that proves exactly what happened and why you deserve compensation.
A serious crash can impact nearly every part of your life — your health, your job, and your peace of mind. The law allows you to recover for both the financial costs and the emotional toll. Compensation in a Montana car accident claim can include payment for:
Medical bills and future care needs
Lost wages or reduced earning ability
Pain and suffering
Vehicle repairs or replacement
Emotional distress and loss of enjoyment of life
Every case is unique, and we’ll take the time to calculate the full value of your claim, not just the immediate costs. You shouldn’t have to settle for less than what it takes to get your life back on track.
When you work with us, you’re getting more than a car accident lawyer — you’re getting a partner who knows Montana and truly cares about its people. We’ve been part of the Great Falls community for generations, and our approach is simple: personal attention, honest communication, and results that matter.
We limit the number of cases we take so that every client gets the time and care they deserve. Our attorneys handle your case personally — not an assistant, not another firm. We know the local courts, the insurance companies, and the tactics they use, and we’ll use that knowledge to your advantage.
The value of your case depends on several factors, such as the severity of your injuries, the cost of medical treatments, property damage, lost wages, and the impact on your quality of life. An attorney can evaluate your specific situation to estimate the fair amount of compensation you might receive.
The timeline for resolving a claim can vary. Simple cases may settle in a few months, while more complex ones involving disputed liability or serious injuries can take over a year. Your attorney will work to expedite the process while ensuring a thorough and fair resolution.
If the at-fault driver is uninsured, you may still be able to recover damages through your own uninsured motorist coverage (if you have it). A car accident attorney can review your policy and explore all possible avenues for compensation.
It’s best to avoid speaking directly with the other driver’s insurance company, as they typically prioritize minimizing payouts. Instead, direct all communication to your attorney to protect your rights and ensure you don’t accidentally harm your claim.
Many car accident claims are resolved through settlements, but some cases may require litigation if an agreement cannot be reached. An experienced attorney will work to negotiate a fair settlement but is prepared to represent you in court if necessary.
While it’s not a legal requirement, having an experienced car accident attorney can significantly improve your chances of securing the maximum compensation you deserve. They handle all the legal complexities, negotiate with insurance companies, and protect your rights, allowing you to focus on your recovery.
