Representation Rooted In Place

Advocacy built for the Flathead Valley.

Montana's personal injury laws carry nuances that out-of-state firms often overlook. From comparative-fault thresholds to strict filing deadlines, knowing the landscape matters as much as knowing the law. At Cannon Breck, we bring local knowledge and courtroom experience together to protect what matters most to you.

When an accident disrupts your life, the legal process can feel overwhelming. Insurance companies move quickly to minimize your claim, and the clock on Montana's statute of limitations begins the moment you're injured. Having a dedicated advocate from day one ensures evidence is preserved, rights are protected, and your story is heard.

We take a limited caseload so every client receives the attention their case deserves. From the initial consultation through trial — or a fair settlement — our team is beside you at every step. No call centers, no hand-offs, no surprises.

The Cannon Breck Difference

Local roots. Proven results. Personal attention.

Too many firms treat personal injury as volume work — sign clients, settle fast, move on. That approach leaves money and justice on the table. At Cannon Breck, we limit our caseload because your case deserves an attorney who knows your name, understands your injuries, and fights like your future depends on it — because it does.

Rooted in the Flathead Valley, we know the judges, the courtrooms, and the community. That local knowledge translates to smarter strategy, better outcomes, and a legal experience that feels personal from the very first conversation.

Frequently Asked

Questions we hear most.

Injuries raise urgent questions. Here are straightforward answers to the concerns our clients bring to their first consultation.

SCHEDULE A CONSULTATION →
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Montana?
Montana's general statute of limitations for personal injury is three years from the date of the injury. However, shorter deadlines apply in certain situations — claims against government entities must be filed within specific notice periods, and wrongful death claims have their own timelines. Acting quickly preserves evidence and protects your rights, so we recommend consulting an attorney as soon as possible after an injury.
How much does it cost to hire a personal injury attorney?
We work on a contingency fee basis, which means you pay nothing upfront and no fees unless we recover compensation for you. Our fee is a percentage of the settlement or verdict, and we cover all case expenses during litigation. If we don't win, you owe us nothing. This arrangement ensures access to experienced legal representation regardless of your financial situation.
What if I was partly at fault for my accident?
Montana follows a modified comparative negligence rule. You can still recover damages as long as your fault doesn't exceed 50 percent. Your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault — so if you're 20 percent responsible, you can recover 80 percent of total damages. Insurance companies often try to shift blame onto victims; we work to ensure fault is assigned fairly and accurately.
Do I really need an attorney for my injury claim?
Studies consistently show that injured individuals represented by attorneys recover significantly more than those who handle claims on their own — even after attorney fees. Insurance adjusters are trained negotiators working to minimize payouts. An experienced personal injury attorney levels the playing field, handles complex paperwork, and protects you from tactics designed to reduce your claim's value.
What types of compensation can I recover?
Montana personal injury claims can include compensation for medical expenses (past and future), lost wages and diminished earning capacity, pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life, and property damage. In cases involving extreme negligence, punitive damages may also be available. We evaluate every potential category of loss to ensure nothing is overlooked.
How long does a personal injury case take to resolve?
Timelines vary based on the complexity of the case, the severity of injuries, and whether the matter settles or goes to trial. Straightforward cases may resolve in a few months, while complex litigation can take a year or more. We never rush a settlement just to close a file — our priority is obtaining the best possible outcome, even if that means taking additional time to build a stronger case.
