Personal Injury

If you are seriously injured in an accident, you can file a personal injury claim for damages. Your case must show that your injuries arose due to the negligence of the person who caused the accident. If your case is successful, the liable party must pay out damages to compensate you for your injuries. Some expenses this compensation may cover include medical bills or treatments, lost wages, and attorney’s fees. Our Montana and Oregon personal injury lawyers can help build the strongest case in your favor to secure these damages.

Car Accidents

Car accident cases are one of the most common forms of personal injury claims. Negligent drivers often cause car accidents that leave victims with more than just a damaged vehicle. Injuries from car accidents can range in severity, the effects of which can last indefinitely. However, receiving the compensation needed to deal with a serious injury is not easy. This is because car insurance companies implement various tactics to try and deny claims whenever they can. However, our Montana and Oregon car accident lawyers are familiar with these tactics and know how to overcome them.

Motorcycle Accidents

Accidents involving motorcycles are some of the most dangerous personal injury cases there are and can cause extremely severe injuries and death. This is because motorcycles leave their riders more exposed to risk of injury than other vehicles. Thus, another driver’s negligence can cause serious injury or even wrongful death when a motorcycle is involved. Unfortunately, this kind of accident is all too common, given that a motorcycle’s size is far smaller than most vehicles on the road. If this happened to you, we encourage you to pursue a personal injury case with our Montana and Oregon motorcycle accident lawyers.
