Get Help For Any Type Of Injury Case

Billings Motorcycle Accident Lawyer

CASE EVALUATIONS ARE FAST, EASY, AND FREE.

If a motorcycle ride in Billings recently went south, reach out to a motorcycle accident lawyer to discuss your situation and to find out what’s involved in filing a motorcycle accident claim in Montana.

Billings, Montana, and the surrounding scenic area are perfect to explore on a motorcycle. Just like anywhere else, motorcyclists in Billings put their safety partially in the hands of other drivers on the road. When the negligence of another driver, government entity, motorcycle manufacturer, or other party causes an accident, the injured motorcyclist deserves fair and full compensation.

Unfortunately, motorcycle riders are often blamed for motorcycle accidents, even when another party was at fault. This robs the motorcyclist of the opportunity to fair compensation. If you’ve been injured in a motorcycle accident, an experienced Billings motorcycle accident lawyer from Craig Swapp & Associates wants to fight for your rights. Call us today at 1-800-404-9000 to set up a free consultation with one of our motorcycle accident lawyers.

Motorcycle Rider Bias and Its Impact on Accident Claims

Across the country, motorcyclists are subject to rider bias. Insurance companies like to paint the picture that those on motorcycles are inherently risk-takers, dangerous motorists, and usually at fault for the accidents they are involved in.

At Craig Swapp & Associates we know this is an unfair stereotype. Motorcyclists more often than not are law-abiding participants on the road. Our attorneys fight rider bias so that injured motorcyclists receive the settlements they deserve.

Who’s at Fault in Your Billings Motorcycle Accident?

Motorcycle accidents in Billings can be complicated when it comes to determining who is at fault for causing the accident. Depending on the circumstances of the accident, the following or a combination of the following may be held responsible:

Another driver – If the negligent actions of another driver of a larger vehicle or other motorcycle caused the accident, then that driver (or company the driver works for) should be held responsible for the damages and injuries the accident caused.

An entity responsible for road maintenance – If poor road maintenance caused or contributed to the accident, the government or private entity charged with maintaining the road could be held as the negligent party.

The motorcycle manufacturer – When a motorcycle manufacturer puts defective motorcycles on the road and those defects cause an accident, they are the at-fault party.

A parts manufacturer – On other occasions, a Billings motorcycle accident may be caused due to a faulty or defective motorcycle or car part. In these instances, it may be the manufacturer of the parts, instead of the motorcycle or car manufacturer, that is at fault for the accident.

A motorcycle service company – When a motorcycle mechanic or service company fails to properly reassemble or correctly fix a motorcycle and that motorcycle is in an accident because of those failures, the motorcycle service company could be held responsible.

Proving Negligence in Your Motorcycle Accident

It’s crucial to any Billings motorcycle accident case that negligence can be proven. In the state of Montana, an injured party must be 50% or less at fault for an accident to recuperate any damages from another involved party. Depending on the complexity of the case, it may be difficult initially to prove who is responsible. An experienced Billings motorcycle lawyer from Craig Swapp & Associates can work to help victims prove negligence and reach a fair settlement for the damages they’ve suffered.

Full Compensation for Motorcycle Accidents in Billings

The biggest cost most victims of Billings motorcycle accidents face are the medical bills. While medical bills are a key part of overall compensation, there are almost always other damages that victims face. An experienced motorcycle accident lawyer in Billings will fight for full compensation, including:

All medical bills associated with the accident
Pain and suffering
Wages lost due to time missed from work
A decrease in quality of life
The inability to enjoy previous physical activities
Temporary or permanent adjustments to home or vehicle to accommodate injuries
More, depending on the specifics of the case

Client Reviews

“I was concerned with all the paperwork”

Before calling your firm I had 2 big worries. One was I didn’t want to do more paper work, and that fear was resolved when I had to do very little, but Craig Swapp and Assoc. did most of it, and when I did have to come in to sign papers they worked around the times I could do it. Worry 2 was I didn’t want people to think I was “sue happy” and that I was just out to get money. I just wanted my bills to be paid for that were from the accident, and that was resolved I think by Mr. Wes Mortenson and Theresa because they listened to what I had to say.

"I would hire them in a second"

My biggest fear was not having all the expenses caused by the accident paid for in full. I was assured they would be taken care of but I admit I was skeptical. When we wrapped everything up (which happened quicker than I was originally told) I had extra money in my pocket. I honestly thought there was a catch but my attorney explained everything to me in detail. If I am ever in that position again I’ll be giving Craig Swapp a call.

"I was afraid of the fees"

I was afraid of the fees I would have to pay a lawyer. I waited over a year before hiring your law firm. I finally reached out to your online help where they were able to help me understand the process and what would happen. In all honesty I absolutely loved working with the individuals that were involved in my case. They were genuine & heartfelt about my case. It felt as though they really cared and were concerned about me, not just as a client but as a person.

"I was afraid that my issue was too small"

I was afraid that my issue was too small to be handled, and that it would just be rejected. Or that I’d end up having to pay for my medical expenses and any of your teams expenses. I would definitely answer yes, it was resolved! I wasn’t ever made out to feel like my little issue didn’t matter, and my expenses were paid for- just what I wanted/needed.

"I am very pleased with the results"

My biggest fear was that it would be pointless to pursue legal action in my case. I felt like maybe I didn’t have much of a case. After speaking with Paul, I realize it was not of my own fault and that others can be held responsible for the pain and suffering I went through.
