Types of Personal Injury Cases We Handle  

Our practice areas include the following types of cases:  

Contact us today if you are unsure if your case qualifies as personal injury. During the initial consultation, we will assess your situation and give you legal advice on what to do next.

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

It is a tragic reality that after a motor vehicle accident, the victim is potentially left with a substantial financial burden. After a personal injury, lost wages and medical bills could add unnecessary pressure to an already stressful situation. That is what we do not want for our clients.  

Which is why we offer free consultations, no sign-up fees, and the legal representation required for a fair settlement. Montana law is complicated, which is why legal services like The Advocates take care of that side of your personal injury while you focus on getting back to normal.

How Much Will I Have to Pay for a Great Falls Advocate?  

Our fees are calculated as a percentage of the settlement. This means if we do not win your case, you do not have to pay us. Besides that, there are no other fees associated with working with The Advocates.

How Do I Know I Have a Personal Injury Case in Great Falls?  

Montana is an at-fault state, meaning the party responsible for the accident pays compensation for property damage and injuries.   

Accidents often involve more than one person, meaning several people can be at fault. Montana uses a comparative negligence system to determine the proportion of fault for everyone involved in the accident. You can only pursue compensation if the percentage of fault for the other party is higher than yours.  

For example, if you are 20% at fault for a car accident and the other driver is 80% at fault, you can file a claim, but your compensation will be reduced by 20% of the total settlement.  

Determining fault is never easy, and it takes an experienced personal injury attorney to assess your contributory negligence and determine how it will affect your compensation.

Do All Cases Go to Trial?  

Not every case goes to trial, and we cannot say with certainty if yours will. The process is not the same for every personal injury claim.   

Our lawyers will only take your case to trial if necessary. They will do so if the insurance company offers you a settlement below proper compensation for the severity of your injury.   

There is no guarantee with anything in the realm of law, so it is hard to determine how much your settlement will be or whether we will need to go to trial to get it.  

What Type of Damages Can I Sue for in a Great Falls Claim?  

Depending on the circumstances of your accident, we can help you get compensation for:   

  • Lost wages    
  • Mental and physical pain and suffering   
  • Loss of future earnings   
  • Medical bills   
  • Property damage   
  • Funeral expenses (in the case of the wrongful death of a loved one)
Medical bill from the hospital, concept of rising medical cost.

How Long Do I Have to File a Lawsuit?  

In Montana, the statute of limitations for filing a personal injury claim is generally three years. It is understandable if you want to hold off on filing a claim immediately after an injury, for even a mild car crash can be traumatic.   

As experienced personal injury attorneys, we recommend filing as close to the accident date as possible. Being proactive ensures you and your lawyers have plenty of time to gather evidence and finish your medical treatment, thus ensuring your case is thoroughly prepared.
