Don’t allow a negligent driver’s poor decision to leave you buried in medical debt and other losses. Get the compensation you are due by seeking help from a vehicle wreck lawyer.
A car accident can turn your life upside down. If you’ve been hurt in a car accident you didn’t cause, a car accident attorney wants to help you understand your options for compensation in Montana.
Montana is a great place to live, and the secret is out. Between 2010 and 2018, the state’s population has grown an estimated 7.4%. As more people move in, there are more vehicles on Montana roads, and more vehicles result in more accidents. In 2018, there were 22,734 reported accidents in the state, resulting in 152 fatalities and 3,737 injuries.
Car accidents are an unfortunate part of life in Montana. Fortunately, an experienced Montana car accident attorney can help those who have been injured by accidents caused by other drivers.
The need for an experienced Montana car accident lawyer arises in part because auto insurance companies often fail to compensate car accident victims fairly. In a car accident claim, compensation most often comes from the auto insurance of the at-fault driver. Insurance companies are businesses, and it’s in their best fiscal interests to minimize the amount they have to pay out. Sometimes, they do that by setting pitfalls like:
These pitfalls are sometimes put in place to minimize or eliminate the settlement amount.
A quick offer is often accepted by the victim simply to get some money and end the process. However, once an offer is accepted, there is no going back for more money, even if more medical treatment is necessary.
By asking for a recorded statement, the insurance company hopes to get the victim to inadvertently admit fault for the accident.
Through poor communication, the insurance company hopes to frustrate the client, making them more likely to accept a low offer when one is finally presented.
This is where an experienced Montana car accident lawyer can be invaluable. At Craig Swapp & Associates, our attorneys have years of experience dealing with car insurance companies. We know how to maneuver these pitfalls in order to maximize compensation for our Montana car accident clients.
Those who’ve been injured in a car accident in Montana caused by another driver’s negligence deserve fair and full compensation for the injuries and damages they’ve suffered. An experienced Montana car accident lawyer from Craig Swapp & Associates will fight for the following compensable items:
Montana’s negligence laws follow the rules of comparative negligence. Comparative negligence means that the person searching for compensation for damages suffered has to be less responsible for the accident than the person who allegedly caused the accident.
In other words, a person involved in a car accident in Montana must be at 50% or less at fault for the accident to pursue damages against the other party. Damages do diminish in proportion to the amount of negligence attributed to the driver.
Simply put, an experienced personal injury attorney takes care of the auto insurance companies and the fight for fair compensation so that the car accident victim can focus on healing.
People often worry about the costs of hiring an attorney. At Craig Swapp & Associates, we don’t get paid unless our client does, and our pay comes from the final settlement amount, not out of our client’s pocket.
If you or a loved one has been injured in a car accident in Montana, you deserve fair and full compensation for the damages and injuries you’ve suffered as a result.

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.
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 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 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.
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.
