Montana Car Accident FAQ

CASE EVALUATIONS ARE FAST, EASY, AND FREE.

Hurt in a Montana car accident? You may have plenty of questions about your recovery. The problem is, getting answers may not be easy.

That’s where your Montana car accident lawyer can help. If you’ve been hurt in a car accident, check out the FAQ below. Then, seek out claim-specific answers from a lawyer who can get you results.

How long do I have to file a Montana car accident claim?

In Montana, you only have three years to file a lawsuit. If you don’t file a claim within that time, your claim may be dismissed, barring you from compensation. Fortunately, your lawyer can help you act quickly to get your compensation.

No one was hurt in the car accident—do I still have to report it?

Even if no one was injured in the accident, property damage may require a report. If the damage seems to be worth more than $1,000, you may be required to report your accident as soon as possible. If you don’t report the accident, you may face legal penalties.

Can I still sue if I was partly at fault for my accident?

Accidents are rarely the fault of one person. But that doesn’t mean you should take the blame for your accident. Your compensation may be reduced by the amount of fault you accept. For example, if you accept 25 percent of the fault, you may only receive 75 percent of your compensation.

That can impact your recovery, making it difficult to overcome your losses and get compensated fairly. Worse, if you’re found more at fault than the other party, your claim may be dismissed, leaving you without compensation. Talk to your lawyer about defending yourself against accusations of fault.

Shouldn’t my insurance company cover my car accident damages?

Montana requires liability insurance, meaning the person responsible for the accident is liable for the injuries. But the insurance company may be unwilling to pay out for your claim. If you’re struggling to get a settlement from your insurance company or a third-party insurer, reach out for legal help.

What if I can’t afford a car accident lawyer?

If you’re hurt in a serious car accident, getting a car accident lawyer can make a big difference. We work on contingency fees, which means we’re paid a percentage of your settlement. That means you don’t pay out of pocket, and you don’t pay if we don’t win your claim. That keeps our services focused on your needs when you’re hurt in a car accident.

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.
