Montana's outdoor lifestyle comes with inherent risks — but negligent outfitters, equipment failures, and unsafe conditions cross the line. Cannon Breck fights for people injured during recreational activities.
Montana is an outdoor paradise — skiing at Whitefish Mountain Resort, whitewater rafting on the Flathead River, hiking in Glacier National Park, and snowmobiling through the backcountry. But when outfitters cut corners, equipment fails, or property owners ignore hazards, the consequences can be life-altering.
Recreational injury cases are uniquely challenging because defendants often hide behind liability waivers and assumption-of-risk defenses. They argue that you accepted the danger and signed away your rights. But waivers don't protect against gross negligence, recklessness, or intentional misconduct — and Montana courts have clear standards for when waivers are enforceable.
At Cannon Breck, we investigate what went wrong, challenge overbroad waivers, and hold negligent operators accountable. Whether you were injured skiing, boating, horseback riding, or participating in a guided excursion, we fight to ensure your recreation doesn't become a permanent burden.

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.
You will always know the status of your case. You will always have direct access to your attorney. And you will never pay a fee unless we win.
