AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENTS

It is said Montana has two seasons, winter and road construction. With all the pitfalls and unexpected events which may occur on the road during these two seasons, it is important to be insured and to know how to protect yourself in the event of an accident. It is also important to know that driving in a careful and prudent manner around in our communities and neighbors is a responsibility. Despite the responsibility drivers have, accidents happen.

When you experience a personal injury, or your property has been damaged by another’s negligent driving or reckless or irresponsible use of an automobile, you will likely be experiencing one of the most stressful times of your life consisting of mounting medical costs, lost wages, and disability and pain related to your injuries. Insurers are experts at acting like they are your friend and assisting you with your claim when, in reality, they may be withholding important details about available insurance coverage, failing to pay all the necessary medical bills and then offering you a settlement for an unjust amount.

You need the help of experienced, personal injury and auto accident attorneys to navigate this process with you and ensure you achieve a fair and just result. Please give 406 Attorneys a call today for a free case evaluation and consultation.

SLIP AND FALL

There are several types of slip and fall accidents including slippery surface falls, falls inside stores and other businesses, stairway accidents, fall from a terrace or balcony, sidewalk falls and bathtub and shower falls, to name a few. A property owner has an obligation to keep their property in a safe condition for those invited onto the property. If it can be proven that a property owner was negligent and knew or should have known about the dangerous or defective condition that caused a slip and fall, you may be compensated for your injuries. Every slip and fall accident is unique so, it is to your benefit to hire an experienced slip and fall lawyer.

Many victims suffer serious, life-altering injuries that can even result in wrongful death. Unlit stairwells, wet floors, and construction site defects can often have catastrophic results. You should know what to do in the event of a slip and fall accident. Consult 406 Attorneys to for a case evaluation to determine whether you may be owed damages for the negligence of a property or business owner.

COMMON CARRIER

Unfortunately, insurance companies don't always treat people fairly. Sometimes they refuse to cover benefits to which people are entitled. You buy insurance for peace of mind, hoping that you will never need it. You pay for insurance to protect you, your family or your business. You trust that your insurance company will be there for you in your time of need. Often they are not. Insurance companies exist to make money. They are experts at finding loopholes and delaying claims. Instead of helping you in your time of need, they often deny, delay or underpay your claim.

If you’ve been in an accident and are struggling to get a fair settlement offer from your insurance company or a third party’s provider, you may feel confused and wonder how to proceed. If the insurance company isn’t negotiating in good faith, contact us at 406 Attorneys, your Montana bad faith insurance attorney.
