No legal action can restore what you've lost. But a wrongful death claim can hold the responsible party accountable and provide financial security for the family left behind. Cannon Breck handles these cases with compassion and resolve.
Losing a loved one to someone else's negligence is devastating beyond measure. Amid grief, families face urgent practical concerns — funeral expenses, lost income, medical bills from final treatment, and the long-term financial impact of losing a provider, partner, or parent.
Montana's wrongful death statute allows certain family members to pursue a civil claim against the party whose negligence, recklessness, or intentional act caused the death. These claims seek both economic damages and compensation for the profound personal loss the family has suffered.
At Cannon Breck, we approach wrongful death cases with the sensitivity they demand and the legal tenacity they require. We handle every aspect of the claim so families can grieve without the added burden of legal complexity. Our goal is to secure accountability and meaningful compensation that provides lasting security.
Wrongful death can result from many types of negligence. We hold responsible parties accountable regardless of the circumstances.
Car, truck, and motorcycle crashes are the leading cause of wrongful death claims. We pursue maximum damages against negligent and impaired drivers.
When healthcare providers' errors cause death, families deserve answers and accountability. We work with medical experts to prove deviations from the standard of care.
Fatal workplace accidents — especially in logging, mining, and construction — demand thorough investigation of safety violations and third-party negligence.
Dangerous property conditions that lead to fatal falls, drownings, or structural failures. We hold property owners accountable for their negligence.
When a defective product causes death, manufacturers, distributors, and retailers may all be liable. We pursue product liability claims to their fullest extent.
When criminal conduct causes death, civil wrongful death claims can provide compensation independent of criminal prosecution. We pursue these claims in parallel.
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.
