Learn How Your Missoula Personal Injury Attorney Can Get You Compensation
What are the economic and non-economic damages a Missoula attorney can try to recover?
- Economic damages – When you suffer a personal injury due to someone else’s negligence, you may be entitled to compensation for your losses. Economic damages are one type of compensation available in a personal injury lawsuit. Economic damages aim to compensate the injured person for their financial losses resulting from the injury. Economic damages are measurable financial losses that the injured person incurs as a result of the injury. In Missoula, the following types of economic damages may be available in a personal injury lawsuit:
- medical and rehabilitative bills
- lost wages and earnings from being unable to work and lost business opportunities
- property damage
- burial costs
- costs of substitute domestic services.
- Noneconomic damages – are losses that are not related to financial loss or expenses, such as medical bills, lost wages, or property damage. They are commonly referred to as “pain and suffering” damages and are intended to compensate the plaintiff for the emotional and physical harm caused by the defendant’s negligence or intentional misconduct. Examples of non-economic damages:
- pain and suffering
- loss of companionship or consortium
- disability or disfigurement
- mental or emotional distress
- injury to reputation and humiliation
- destruction of the parent-child relationship.
What Can Determine the Amount of Compensation You May Recover?
The amount of compensation you may be able to recover in Missoula personal injury cases can vary based on various factors. There are various types of personal injury cases, and the compensation awarded to the plaintiff will vary based on the type of case. Some common types of personal injury cases include:
- Car accidents
- Slip and fall accidents
- Medical malpractice
- Workplace accidents
- Product liability
- Dog bites
- Pedestrian accidents
Consideration is made for:
- The Severity of the Injury – The severity of the plaintiff’s injury is one of the most significant factors that determine the amount of compensation awarded. The more severe the injury, the more compensation the plaintiff may be entitled to.
- Medical Bills – The plaintiff’s medical bills are another factor that determines compensation. The higher the medical bills, the more compensation the plaintiff may be entitled to.
- Lost Wages – If the plaintiff was unable to work due to their injury, they may be entitled to compensation for lost wages.
- Pain and Suffering – Pain and suffering refer to the physical and emotional distress the plaintiff experienced due to their injury. The more severe the pain and suffering, the more compensation the plaintiff may be entitled to.
- Property Damage – If the plaintiff’s property was damaged in the accident, they may be entitled to compensation for the repairs or replacement of the damaged property.
- Comparative Negligence – Montana follows a comparative negligence rule, which means that if the plaintiff is partially at fault for the accident, their compensation may be reduced. The compensation amount will be reduced by the percentage of fault assigned to the plaintiff.
When you suffer an injury in Montana, the clock starts ticking. If two years pass by and you haven’t taken legal action, your right to pursue a claim could be forfeited altogether! All types of personal injury claims such as slip & fall accidents, medical malpractice, car collisions, wrongful death cases and product liability matters must all adhere to this 2-year statute of limitations from the date of the incident. Don’t let yourself become another victim; make sure to use your time wisely and file for compensation before it is too late!
It’s important to remember that the two-year statute of limitations does not always apply. If an injury is identified after the two-year period, then the statute may be prolonged until two years from its discovery. Similarly, minors will have their limitation increased to 18 years old.
Adhering to the statute of limitations is essential since any lawsuit that has not been filed within the given timeframe will be dismissed. As soon as this period expires, you lose your right to obtain compensation from those at fault for your injury or damages. Failing to meet these deadlines could have severe consequences and mean you miss out on seeking justice through legal means.
When you contact us, our Strong Law attorneys can provide an estimate of what your case should be worth. No matter what the situation, we know how to build strong cases that take into account all of your expenses and damages, such as lost wages, medical bills and pain and suffering.

“Very professional, and treated me as an equal.”
Just wanted to say thank you to Jed and his team at Strong Law. Not only was I happy with the outcome, but the entire process as a whole. I would definitely recommend this firm to anyone. Thanks again.
“Unbelievable work!”
I had a claim involving my own insurance company. I tried to negotiate with them, and they completely denied my claim – two times. I then hired Strong Law, and the change was instant. The insurance company immediately began negotiating, and Jed was able to secure an unbelievably good settlement. I will never again attempt to take-on an insurance company without Strong Law in my corner. Thank you!”

FAQ’s Clients Ask Missoula Personal Injury Lawyers
If you’ve been gravely injured, you may have some questions or concerns. At Strong Law, we strive to help our valued clients understand the process of seeking justice for their personal injury case by providing answers to the most frequently asked questions.
What does it cost to hire a personal injury lawyer in Missoula?
Our Missoula personal injury lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, so you won’t be required to pay any fees until your claim is successful. We understand that after an accident, financial worries can become overwhelming – for this reason we ensure any attorney fees are taken out of the awarded settlement amount alone. That way you don’t have to worry about extra costs or expenses along the way.
What if I am partially to blame for the accident?
Montana residents must act quickly when they suffer a personal injury as the state law allows only two years from the date of an accident to file suit. Every kind of personal injury claim, be it auto accidents, slips & falls, medical negligence cases, product liability issues or wrongful death matters have their own time limit for submitting paperwork; and that is exactly 2 years post-accident in Montana!
Is there a time limit for filing a case?
In Montana, you must file your lawsuit in the state’s civil court system within 2 years of suffering an accident or injury – otherwise you may forfeit any rights to pursue compensation. Time is of the essence when it comes to seeking justice and retribution for your injuries; make sure that you don’t wait too long before taking action!
Who can be held liable in a personal injury claim?
Fault or negligent parties in any injury-related case can be held liable, depending on the circumstances. In some cases, multiple defendants might need to be named in the personal injury claim; for instance, a trucking accident could implicate both the commercial driver responsible and their employer due to potential liability issues. Additionally, if there was an issue with either the vehicle’s parts or its manufacture that led to the crash then these entities will likely also face responsibility as well. All of this is why we are determined to identify every party potentially involved so that all available insurance policies and assets may properly enter into consideration during proceedings.
What if a death occurs from the injury?
In situations when an injury results in the death of a loved one, we can initiate legal action by filing a suit for wrongful death. These cases are comparable to personal injury claims, where family members or representatives of the deceased person bring forth their grievances on behalf of someone who is no longer with us.

An Attorney Can Help Prove Negligence in a Personal Injury Case.
To achieve a successful outcome in your case, it is essential that your attorney demonstrate the other party’s negligence and its direct connection to your injuries.
Proving negligence legally means showing the following elements:
- Duty: The defendant owed you a duty of care not to cause harm.
- Breach: The defendant breached this duty by actions or failure to act.
- Cause: The defendant’s breach caused your injuries.
- Damage: You suffered damages as a result.
Everyone has a duty of care to act responsibly to avoid harming others. Examples of breaching duty and causing harm include:
- A drunk driver ran a red light and crashed into your car.
- A surgeon amputated the wrong limb.
- Your car’s airbags were defective and sent metal through your body.
Regardless of the cause, we will strive to find all liable parties and hold them responsible.

Frequently asked questions
Have other questions? Get in touch with our team at info@stronglawattorneys.com
What Is the Value of My Case?
The value of an injury case depends upon many factors related to the extent of your injuries and any other losses associated with your claim. You may have medical bills, lost income, costs associated with pain and suffering, among other possible damages. To learn the possible value of your case, contact the team at Strong Law. In a free case evaluation, we’ll let you know how much your case may be worth.
What Are Your Hours?
Strong Law is open five days a week between 9am and 5pm. In addition, we offer after hours return calls, weekend calls, and online chat.
What Kinds Of Cases Are Personal Injury?
Call us to know for sure, but a good rule of thumb is when an “accident” that happened to you because of the acts of or misdeeds of another party. Examples are: Auto accidents; motorcycle accidents; semi-truck accidents; wrongful death; medical malpractice; slip, trip and fall; boating accidents, faulty equipment, nursing home abuse; and many others.
Will I Be Charged To Consult Or Talk With You?
No, not ever. Strong Law is a contingency personal injury firm offering specialized experience along with access when you need it. Our goal is to gain the best settlement and provide comfort in the process, so easy access to us is part of our best practices.
What Does Contingency Mean?
Contingency in a legal matter means an expense to the client based on the outcome of a future event or circumstance which is possible but cannot be predicted with certainty. Said another way, Strong Law gets paid only if your case settles.
Can You Give Me An Assessment Of My Case?
Absolutely. While we cannot guarantee anything, nor do we imply a settlement, our willingness to take your case (and do it on contingency) is our voice that we feel your case has strong merit. After speaking with you, we can provide a merit assessment over the phone. However, we caution that accepting your case does not promise anything, your outcome is reflected in the law firm you choose.
What Should I Do If I’m Having Problems, Like Their Insurance Company Is Calling Me?
Always secure an attorney first. If you sign up with Strong Law now, you can advise their insurance company that you have representation and give them our name and contact information. From that time forward, they should not be contacting you again; it’s the law. If you do not sign with an attorney, like Strong Law, you will need to speak with them and represent yourself to resolve your injury. We strongly urge against this; insurance companies are skilled at ensuring their best interests over yours.
What Are Common Reasons For Insurance Injury Denials?
Make sure you receive medical treatment as soon as possible after an accident, otherwise insurance may argue your pain is from an unrelated incident.Insurance companies will be going out of their way to find some proof that the accident was your fault. Don’t be intimidated.If you have preexisting medical conditions that make you more likely to suffer an injury, it is not uncommon for insurance agencies to deny claims based on this.
How Long Does A Case Take To Settle?
It depends on many factors like medical care, future needs, evidence, proof of liability, and many others. Some cases take months while others can last a couple years. Ultimately, our goal is to represent you and what is going to be best for you in the long run.
Why Can Cases Last Years?
Because the law dictates it. There are many layers to make sure the insurance companies treat you with optimal care. For example, there will be time spent for medical treatments you might need. There is time to gather the needed medical reports and discover any long term impacts this injury will have on your life today and into the future. There is time for the other side to review our demands, research, and respond as well. It can feel like a long time, but we follow the law and strategize for the best benefit to you. We are with you the whole time.
