Understanding Your Legal Rights to Compensation
When an auto accident, medical malpractice, work site accident or other type of accident injury turns fatal, the estate and family members of the deceased person may have legal rights to seek compensation from anyone whose negligence was responsible for the tragedy that has occurred.
Montana’s wrongful death laws place strict time limitations on your ability to claim compensation. If you believe you may have a wrongful death claim against some person or entity, you should consult with an attorney as soon as possible.
A wrongful death claim can be emotionally charged for everyone involved. We approach these cases with sensitivity and respect for the grieving process and the pain that can be involved with going over the facts of the accident.
Treating You With Respect and Dignity
Unfortunately, some lawyers take advantage of the vulnerability of families that have recently lost a loved one in an accident by contacting them directly and trying to sign them up as clients before they have had time to carefully evaluate their options.
A family in such a traumatic situation deserves the opportunity to choose a lawyer rather than having one imposed on them. If a lawyer solicits you, you have a right to consider other options. We would be happy to consult with you with no obligation on your part. Contact us to discuss how we can help you.
