Montana Auto Accident Law

Aggressive advocacy after every collision.

Montana's highways and rural roads present unique hazards — icy conditions along Highway 93, heavy tourist traffic near Glacier Park, and long distances between emergency services. When a crash occurs, the aftermath is overwhelming: insurance adjusters call within hours, medical bills mount, and lost wages compound the stress.

At Cannon Breck, we step in immediately. Our team preserves critical evidence — dashcam footage, black-box data, witness statements — before it disappears. We handle every insurer communication so you can focus on treatment and recovery.

Montana's modified comparative negligence standard means fault allocation directly affects your recovery. We work with accident reconstructionists and medical experts to build an airtight case that assigns responsibility where it belongs — and secures the full compensation you're entitled to.

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.

After a terrible wreck on Highway 2, Cannon Breck handled everything while I recovered. They fought the insurance company for months and got me three times what they initially offered. I couldn't have done it without them.

Frequently Asked

Questions we hear most.

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

SCHEDULE A CONSULTATION →
What should I do immediately after a car accident in Montana?
Move to safety if possible, call 911, and seek medical attention — even if injuries seem minor. Document the scene with photos, exchange insurance information with the other driver, and report the accident to law enforcement. Avoid giving recorded statements to insurance companies before consulting an attorney. Montana law requires accident reports for crashes involving injury, death, or property damage over $1,000.
How is fault determined in a Montana car accident?
Montana uses a modified comparative negligence system. Fault is assigned based on evidence including police reports, witness testimony, traffic camera footage, and expert analysis. You can recover damages as long as you are not more than 50 percent at fault. Your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault.
What compensation can I recover after a car accident?
You may recover medical expenses (past and future), lost wages and diminished earning capacity, pain and suffering, emotional distress, property damage, and loss of enjoyment of life. In cases involving drunk or reckless driving, punitive damages may also be available.
How long do I have to file a car accident claim in Montana?
Montana's statute of limitations for personal injury from a car accident is generally three years from the date of the accident. Claims against government entities have shorter notice periods. Delaying can result in lost evidence and weakened claims, so we recommend consulting an attorney as soon as possible.
Should I accept the insurance company's first settlement offer?
Almost never. Initial offers from insurance companies are typically far below the true value of your claim. Insurers count on injured people accepting quick, low settlements before understanding the full extent of their injuries. An experienced attorney can evaluate the true worth of your case and negotiate for fair compensation.
What if the other driver doesn't have insurance?
Montana requires uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage. If the at-fault driver lacks adequate insurance, your own policy may provide coverage. We help clients navigate UM/UIM claims and identify all available sources of compensation, including personal assets of the at-fault driver.
