Driving carries risk, and that’s why you try your best to play it safe. What happens when your accident is caused by another? A car accident lawyer in Bozeman can explain.

A car accident can leave victims with medical debts, lost wages, and even emotional trauma. Fortunately, when your collision is caused by someone else’s carelessness, a Bozeman car accident lawyer can help.

Factors for Bozeman Car Accidents

A car accident can sometimes be caused by things beyond our control. We know that the Bozeman winter weather can lead even the best drivers to skid, slip, and slide. But what happens when your accident is caused by another driver’s carelessness?

Negligence behind the wheel can lead to drastic outcomes. In fact, some of the most common causes of collisions are entirely preventable and caused by things such as:

Driving above the speed limit
Using a cell phone while driving
Driving drunk
Driver inexperience
And others

Fortunately, when someone else’s negligent driving is the culprit for your injuries, you could win compensation in a civil suit.

Filing a Personal Injury Claim for Your Bozeman Car Accident

Car accident lawsuits are a subset of general personal injury law, otherwise known as Tort law. This area of civil law allows accident victims to file a claim against the responsible parties in order to receive compensation for their injuries.

Getting fairly compensated for your injuries can be complicated. First, you’ll have to prove that the other driver’s negligence was the cause of your damages. To do this, you can use evidence such as a crash report, witness testimony, and medical records to your advantage.

Getting your injuries assessed by a trusted doctor can also help your case. Not only can doing so allow you to receive the medical treatment you need, but it will also send a signal to the at-fault party’s insurance company that your injuries are serious.

Montana Comparative Fault and Your Bozeman Car Accident Settlement

Although some states force car accident victims to turn to their own insurers to get help paying for things like medical bills and missed wages, Montana’s comparative fault system allows you to file a claim directly with the other driver’s insurance company.

One possible catch to comparative fault is the potential it holds to reduce the value of your own financial settlement. Basically, if a judge determines that you are also partially responsible for the outcome of your car accident, your damages can be reduced accordingly.

Because comparative fault can have massive consequences for a car accident claim, most victims in Bozeman will look to retain the services of an experienced lawyer to handle their case.

Comparative fault is complicated, and an unfavorable decision by a judge could potentially decrease your settlement by thousands of dollars—or even leave you empty-handed. When your financial future is at stake, you can rely on the experienced car accident lawyers from our firm to fight for your cause.

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.
