How Our Law Firm Partners Manage Montana Traffic Accident Cases
In Montana, the driver responsible for causing a traffic accident is generally held liable under negligence laws. To recover damages, your attorney must demonstrate that the driver acted carelessly or recklessly and that this behavior directly led to the crash.
Each type of traffic accident case works slightly differently. This includes:
- Montana Car Accidents: Car accidents in Montana often result from speeding, distracted driving, or violating another traffic law. If the other driver is at fault, you may qualify to recover compensation for your injuries and damages from their insurance carrier.
- Montana Truck Crashes: Truck accidents often cause severe injuries and raise complex questions of liability involving the driver, the trucking company, or other parties. Because critical evidence can be lost or destroyed, it’s vital to take swift action and contact our team as soon as possible after a commercial vehicle crash.
- Montana Motorcycle Collisions: Motorcycle crashes in Montana are often caused by other drivers who fail to share the road properly. Injuries are frequently severe, so it is crucial to protect your rights as soon as possible.

What Types of Damages Can I Recover After a Personal Injury in Montana?
When our team determines you may qualify to recover compensation in your case, we connect you with a law firm partner near you. This co-counsel will have two primary objectives:
- To hold the at-fault party accountable
- To recover fair compensation for you
They will know how to develop a compelling case for compensation and accountability. They will identify and document your recoverable damages and determine what a fair settlement might look like.
In a Montana traffic accident, you may recover:
- Economic damages, e.g., medical bills, lost income, vehicle repairs, future care, loss of earning capacity
- Non-economic damages, e.g., pain and suffering
What Damages Are Recoverable in a Wrongful Death Case?
If your spouse, parent, child, or other loved one passed away in a Montana accident, you may qualify to recover damages in a wrongful death action. This could include both economic and non-economic damages, such as burial costs, loss of support, and loss of consortium.
Under Montana law, the victim’s personal representative acts as a trustee for survivors, filing the wrongful death action and representing the heirs in the legal process.
How Will a Montana Personal Injury Lawyer Build a Strong Case for Compensation?
Our law firm partners in Montana know what it takes to develop a robust case and pursue the compensation you need to cover your bills. Some of the steps that may be necessary include:
- Reviewing the police crash report
- Preserving evidence, including photos, video, and physical evidence from the scene
- Interviewing witnesses and gathering statements
- Collecting relevant medical records and related bills
- Consulting experts, such as accident reconstructionists, medical specialists, and economists
Once they have a convincing case to show what happened and who is responsible, you can count on our attorney to:
- Document your economic and non-economic damages
- Handle all insurance communications, including negotiations
- Draft and send a settlement demand
- If necessary, file a lawsuit and prepare for litigation
