Personal Injury
We represent clients injured through no fault of their own, including auto accidents, slip-and-falls, and workplace injuries. Our attorneys negotiate with insurance companies and litigate when necessary to secure fair compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and pain suffering. With experience handling complex personal injury cases across Montana, we combine local knowledge with statewide legal expertise to maximize client recoveries.
Workers' Compensation
Our firm assists injured workers navigating Montana's workers' compensation system, including claim denials and delayed benefits. We handle all stages from initial applications through appeals, ensuring clients receive medical treatment coverage and wage replacement. Our experience includes complex cases involving permanent disabilities and occupational diseases, with representation in state and federal workers' compensation courts.
Insurance Coverage
We advocate for policyholders facing bad faith insurance practices, including denied claims and inadequate settlements. Our attorneys interpret complex insurance policies to identify coverage gaps while challenging insurers' unfair practices. This includes auto insurance disputes, property damage claims, and underinsured motorist cases throughout Montana, ensuring clients receive their entitled policy benefits.
Premises Liability
We represent individuals injured due to unsafe property conditions, including slip-and-falls, inadequate security, and swimming pool accidents. Our attorneys prove property owner negligence through comprehensive investigations and expert testimony. Cases often involve commercial properties, rental units, and public spaces across Montana, with compensation covering medical costs and related damages.
Wrongful Death
Our firm supports families pursuing wrongful death claims from accidents, medical malpractice, or intentional acts. We help personal representatives file claims within Montana's statute of limitations while documenting economic losses and emotional damages. Our compassionate approach balances legal rigor with family support throughout the litigation process.

Questions
What should I do immediately after a personal injury accident?
Seek medical attention immediately, document the incident with police reports and witness statements, and contact a personal injury attorney before communicating with insurance companies.
Will my case definitely go to trial?
Most cases settle through negotiation, but we prepare every case for trial to ensure maximum compensation. Trial becomes necessary only when fair settlement proves impossible.
Why was my workers' compensation claim denied?
Common reasons include disputed work-relatedness, missed reporting deadlines, or insufficient medical documentation. We help clients appeal denied claims and secure rightful benefits.
Do you handle cases outside Billings?
We represent clients statewide including Glendive, Miles City, Sidney, and all Montana counties, with virtual consultations available for remote locations.
How are legal fees structured?
We operate on contingency fees for most cases, meaning payment only occurs upon successful case resolution, with transparent cost discussions upfront.
