Why Should I Hire a Lewistown Personal Injury Lawyer with The Advocates?

When you hire an Advocate, you get more than an accident attorney. You get an entire team of experienced legal professionals ready to help get you back on your feet. We understand that accidents often leave victims with questions and anxiety, and we’re here to put you at ease.

How Much Will I Have to Pay for a Lewistown Advocate?

You will pay nothing out-of-pocket for our legal services. We work on what is known as a contingency fee basis—this means that we do not collect any attorney fees until we win your case. 

When your case is settled, our fees will be calculated as a percentage of your settlement amount. This means that anyone can access excellent legal representation for their personal injury case, regardless of their financial situation. It also means that your attorney is incentivized to fight to get you maximum compensation.

How Do I Know I Have a Personal Injury Case in Lewistown?

The best way to know if you have a valid personal injury case is to speak with an attorney. They will examine the factual details of your accident and injuries to determine your legal options.

In general, you will need to prove that the other party was responsible for your injuries in order to collect any compensation for damages. Montana follows a rule of modified comparative negligence, meaning that you can receive compensation as long as you are found to be less than 50% at-fault for the accident.

Your attorney can help you prove that the at-fault party is responsible for your injuries and damages.

Do All Cases Go to Trial?

Most personal injury cases do not go to trial. In many cases, a settlement can be reached during negotiations with the at-fault party’s insurance company. A skilled attorney can help you negotiate to get the settlement you deserve and avoid being lowballed.

If the other party is unwilling to offer fair compensation, your attorney may advise you that litigation is your best option. If you choose to take your case to trial, you will need to appear in front of a judge and/or jury. Your attorney will prepare you for the courtroom and will argue your case to get you a favorable verdict.

If you do choose to go to litigation, the life of your case will be extended by months or even years, depending on the court’s caseload.

What Types of Damages Can I Sue for in a Lewistown Claim?

Every personal injury case is different. There is no way to accurately judge the value of your case or the types of compensation you may receive without knowing the factual details of the accident and your injuries. 

As a general guideline, some common damages from personal injury cases include:

  • Medical expenses
  • Property damage
  • Lost income and loss of future earning capacity
  • Non-economic damages, like pain and suffering
  • Funeral and burial expenses

Contact The Montana Advocates today to speak with an experienced Lewistown personal injury attorney. During your free consultation, your attorney will ask questions about your accident, injuries, and healthcare to determine how much your case may be worth.

How Long Do I Have to File a Lawsuit?

Every personal injury case is subject to a time limit known as the statute of limitations. Once this time limit is up, you lose your right to file a claim.

In Montana, the statute of limitations for most torts is generally 3 years from the date of harm. There are several factors that can impact this time limit, so it is a good idea to contact an attorney as soon as you believe you have a case. They will be able to determine how long you have to file.

The Advocates have years of experience representing injury victims and helping them get the compensation they deserve. We can help you too. Contact our Lewistown law office for a free consultation today.
