Riders deserve justice, not judgment.

Montana Motorcycle Law

Fighting the bias riders face.

Montana's open roads draw riders from across the country — and the state's winding mountain passes, wildlife crossings, and unpredictable weather create hazards that demand respect. When a crash happens, motorcyclists face injuries far more severe than those in enclosed vehicles: road rash, broken bones, traumatic brain injuries, and spinal cord damage.

Worse, riders confront a persistent bias. Insurance adjusters, jurors, and even law enforcement often assume the motorcyclist was at fault — riding too fast, weaving through traffic, or taking unnecessary risks. At Cannon Breck, we refuse to let that narrative stand.

We gather physical evidence, expert testimony, and witness accounts to establish the true cause of every crash. Our attorneys have decades of combined experience representing injured riders and understand the unique dynamics of motorcycle accident litigation in Montana courts.

Motorcycle accidents involve unique dynamics that demand specialized legal knowledge. We handle every type of rider crash.

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 answers to the concerns our clients bring to their first consultation.

SCHEDULE A CONSULTATION →
Does Montana require motorcycle helmets?
Montana requires helmets for riders under 18. Riders 18 and older may choose whether to wear a helmet. However, not wearing a helmet can become a factor in your injury claim — insurance companies may argue it contributed to the severity of your injuries. We address this issue head-on and prevent it from unfairly reducing your compensation.
Why do motorcycle accident claims face more resistance?
Insurance companies and juries often harbor bias against motorcyclists, assuming they were reckless or at fault. Adjusters may use this bias to justify lower settlement offers. Our attorneys counter this with thorough evidence collection, expert testimony, and compelling narratives that establish the true facts of every crash.
What injuries are most common in motorcycle accidents?
Motorcycle crashes frequently cause traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, road rash requiring skin grafts, broken bones, internal organ damage, and limb amputations. These injuries often require extensive surgery, rehabilitation, and long-term care — all of which must be accounted for in your claim.
Can I still recover damages if I wasn't wearing a helmet?
Yes. Montana does not require adults to wear helmets, and not wearing one does not automatically bar recovery. However, the defense may argue your injuries were worsened by the lack of a helmet. We work with medical experts to establish which injuries would have occurred regardless of helmet use.
What should I do after a motorcycle crash?
Seek immediate medical attention, even for seemingly minor injuries. If possible, photograph the scene, your motorcycle, and any visible injuries. Get contact information from witnesses. Do not speak with the other driver's insurance company before consulting an attorney. Preserve your riding gear — it can serve as evidence.
How much is my motorcycle accident case worth?
The value depends on the severity of your injuries, medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, and long-term impact on your quality of life. Motorcycle crash injuries tend to be more severe, which often means higher compensation. We evaluate every category of damages to ensure nothing is overlooked.
