Motor Vehicle Accident FAQs

What if I am involved in an accident with an uninsured or underinsured driver?

A significant portion of drivers in Montana and Wyoming are uninsured and an even larger percentage are underinsured. Drivers are considered underinsured if they are insured for an amount that is insufficient to cover the damages caused in a motor vehicle crash. A lack of appropriate coverage, however, does not mean a claim will not be successful or that you may not be able to obtain appropriate compensation. We will investigate all of your options such as making full use of your own insurance coverage and identifying potential defendants with adequate insurance coverage.

Is it possible to pursue legal action against a non-driver?

In many motor vehicle accident cases, the defendant-driver is not the only liable party. Other parties may have contributed to your injuries, but their involvement may not be obvious until the accident is further investigated. We evaluate motor vehicle accident claims comprehensively to identify all potential defendants. Vicarious liability in Montana and Wyoming allows claims to be brought against non-driver vehicle owners and, in certain circumstances, third parties such as the driver’s employer. For example, if you were involved in a collision with a delivery driver on his business route, it may be possible to bring an action against the delivery driver’s employer.

I felt fine after the accident but now I’m in pain. What should I do?

Many injuries do not manifest themselves until after the accident, sometimes several days. Even if you aren’t experiencing symptoms, you should get a thorough medical exam after your accident just to make sure you don’t have any injuries. If you find yourself in pain, you should seek medical attention immediately. Even if you previously saw a doctor, don’t be afraid to schedule a follow-up visit. 

You can still pursue a personal injury claim even if your injuries didn’t manifest themselves right away. If you start experiencing pain after your accident, we recommend that you consult with an experienced Billings car accident attorney after getting treatment. 

The other driver was charged with a DUI. Can I still pursue a claim?

A criminal prosecution is a separate and independent matter from a civil claim for damages. If the other driver is being prosecuted for DUI, you can still pursue a civil claim for your injuries and other losses. If the other driver is found guilty of DUI, it could help your case tremendously - there is now a legal ruling that the other driver was driving while under the influence and therefore negligent. However, the fact that they were charged with DUI is usually sufficient for proving that they were negligent, even if the case is not yet resolved. 

What evidence will I need to pursue a claim?

The evidence you need will depend on your case. In general, you will need the following to prove your case and recover compensation: 

  • Your medical records and bills
  • Proof of any lost income
  • Accident reports
  • Statements from any witnesses

If you go to court, you will also need to have witnesses testify on your behalf. Even if you don’t go to court, the insurance company will scrutinize your claim. A skilled car accident attorney can assemble the evidence you need to put forward the strongest possible case to ensure that you get the compensation you need.
