Despite the fact that I earn my living as an accident attorney in Montana, I often tell potential clients that not every accident case is best resolved by hiring a lawyer.  But before you can make that decision, you need to be properly informed.  You need to be able to protect your rights.  The sad fact is that insurance companies love it when you don’t know your rights.  It makes their job much easier.  So always get informed before you make any decision.
So when does an accident claim not need a lawyer?  In a small accident, with minor damage to your vehicle and little damage to yourself it may not be worth it to get a lawyer involved.  By the time you pay for costs and attorneys’ fees, there’s little to no money left for you.  I never want that outcome.  So in situations like that, it may make the most sense to handle the claim yourself.
But, I recently read about a study which found that accident victims represented by an attorney recover, on average, 300% more than people who were not.  So even after my standard 1/3 attorney’s fee, you still take home twice as much as you would have otherwise.  That’s a serious advantage.
So, if you’ve been injured in an accident in Montana, the best advice I can offer is to schedule a free consulation with me, or another injury lawyer, so that we can educate you.  Because knowledge is power.  And when you’re going up against an insurance company, you need all the power you can get.
