Automobile Accident Attorney Services in Billings, MT

Workers' Compensation

You work hard for your money, so when a work-related injury stops you, it can be overwhelming. Medical bills can become a burden when compounded with lost wages, whether you simply require time off to recover or cannot return to work due to total disability. Not to mention, the process of obtaining the compensation you deserve can be difficult to navigate alone. If you are injured on the job, we will help you get the compensation you need, assisting you through the entire process.

Automobile Accidents

No one plans to be in an automobile accident – it's why we call it an “accident.” However, accidents can result in a major, unexpected shift in your life due to serious injury, inaccurate reports, problems with insurance, and more. We will help you with any concerns you have after an auto accident, keeping your best interests in mind. We work to ensure that any resolutions to which you are entitled are received and will protect your rights and assets if necessary.

Personal Injury

When you are injured in an accident, paperwork and questions will undoubtedly roll in from doctors, law enforcement, and your insurance, which can quickly become overwhelming. Our personal injury lawyers will assist you in understanding all of the legal procedures pertaining to your case, letting you know if you should pursue legal action. If legal action is needed, we will handle your case objectively, working with the various parties involved to get you the best settlement possible so all you need to concentrate on is healing.

Wrongful Death

Losing a loved one is never easy, but knowing the cause of death could have been prevented is devastating. Trying to come to terms with the loss becomes more difficult as expenses arise, and the sudden loss of wages from the deceased can cause financial strain for surviving family members. If you've experienced the wrongful death of a spouse, immediate family member or child due to the negligence of others, we will help you recoup any expenses incurred, removing the financial burden from an already difficult situation.

Insurance Bad Faith

Insurance companies, by law, owe their policyholders a duty of good faith and fair dealing. The law of providing clients with honesty and fairness is important enough to include in their contracts, so when this agreement is violated, the policyholder has a right to sue on a breach of contract claim. Violations can include if the company delays handling the claim, inadequately investigates a claim, refuses a reasonable settlement offer, and more. If you have been treated unfairly by your insurance company, we will work to get you the settlement you deserve so you can move forward with your life.

What Our Clients are Saying

Thank you so much Russ and all the staff who work so hard on our case!

My husband and I were involved in a semi rollover on a mountain in Montana. We had no clue where to turn. We reached out to many lawyers, and they sent us to Russ! He had his work cut out for him. It seemed like everyone wanted to shut the door in our face! Russ would not take no for an answer! He told me just watch it I am going to rattle some cages... That he did! We finally got a settlement, and we are very happy with the way everything went! He fought for us and went above and beyond for us. We are truly grateful for him and his staff!

Every time we called they answered and never made us feel like we were bothering them! His staff was so easy to work with! So if ever you need someone to speak for you when no one wants to listen to you... He is definitely your man!
