What Sets Cannon Breck Law Apart
We Prepare Every Case for Trial
Insurance companies know which lawyers actually go to trial and which ones always settle. When they know your attorney is prepared to take the case to a Flathead County jury, their settlement offers reflect that reality. We prepare every case as if it’s going to trial — because that preparation produces better results whether the case settles or not.
No Fee Unless We Win
We handle personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis. You pay nothing upfront and owe no attorney fees unless we recover compensation for you. This means we take the financial risk — not you.
Direct Attorney Communication
When you call Cannon Breck Law, you talk to your attorney — not a paralegal reading from a script. We believe direct communication produces better outcomes and reduces the stress and frustration that come with feeling uninformed about your own case.
The Personal Injury Claims Process
- Free consultation — We evaluate your case, explain your options, and answer your questions at no cost
- Investigation — We gather evidence: police reports, medical records, witness statements, photographs, and expert opinions
- Medical documentation — We ensure your injuries are fully documented and that you receive appropriate ongoing treatment
- Demand and negotiation — We present a comprehensive demand to the insurance company backed by the full weight of your evidence
- Litigation if necessary — If the insurer won’t pay fair value, we file suit and prepare for trial in Flathead County District Court
- Resolution — Whether through settlement or verdict, we fight for the maximum compensation your case warrants
Damages in Montana Personal Injury Cases
Montana personal injury victims can recover:
- All past and future medical expenses
- Lost wages and diminished earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Property damage
- Punitive damages in cases of extreme negligence or intentional misconduct
Montana has no cap on compensatory damages in most personal injury cases (medical malpractice has a cap on non-economic damages). Your recovery is limited only by the evidence and the strength of your case.
