Understanding Personal Injury Claims for Your Great Falls Car Accident

A car accident can leave you with both physical and emotional trauma. You might be dealing with the financial strain of unexpected medical bills or lost wages from time away from work.

Fortunately, a personal injury claim could be the key to unlocking a financial settlement. Car accident settlements fall under the umbrella of personal injury claims, which is an area of law that allows victims of any type of accident to recover damages from the at-fault party.

In the case of your Great Falls car accident, it will be important to present evidence of the other driver’s carelessness. This can be done by documenting the crash site, filing a crash report, and notifying your insurance that you’ve been involved in a wreck caused by another driver.

If you’re injured, visiting your doctor as soon as possible will not only allow you to receive adequate care for your injuries, it also will help document your physical damages, which are the primary considerations for an insurance company when looking at a possible settlement.

How Comparative Fault Impacts Your Car Accident Claim in Great Falls, Montana

The state laws in Montana will impact all aspects of your Great Falls car accident claim. One of the ways this happens is through the state’s views on comparative fault.

In Montana, the rules of modified comparative fault mean that you can still recover damages if you’re partially responsible for causing the accident. However, your compensation will decrease according to the share of fault a judge finds you to have. Finally, being found more than 50 percent responsible for causing the accident means you could be barred from collecting any kind of settlement.

Although these rules apply for all personal injury claims, they’re especially important for car accident claims. A driver who is injured after a rear-end accident can receive compensation for their damages, but the fact that they pumped their brakes quickly in front of the driver behind them could mean their damages are lowered by 20 percent, or however much a judge decides.

Montana’s comparative fault laws can be complicated, which is why most car accident victims in Great Falls increase their chances of winning a full settlement by consulting an experienced lawyer.

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.
