Injured In A Motorcycle Accident That’s Caused Severe Injuries And Financial Strain?

Motorcyclists are exposed when operating a motorcycle. With this comes a great sense of freedom, likely what draws so many to ride, but on the other side of the coin is the ugly reality of particularly severe injuries in the event of an accident. In this sense, motorcycle accidents are quite distinct from typical car accidents. This means practicing motorcycle accident injury law requires an equal measure of legal knowledge, experience, and empathy.

If you’ve suffered in a motorcycle accident, know that the motorcycle accident attorneys at Colton Holm in Billings, MT, are here to provide not only world-class legal guidance and representation but support that extends beyond the legal process, strictly speaking. We know from our decades of experience the far-reaching effects these accidents can have on various aspects of your life, and we strive to serve you in any way we can to make your recovery process as smooth and manageable as possible.

Our Experience Means We’re The Right Choice For You

You might not know it, but there is no requirement for motorcyclists to wear a helmet while riding a motorcycle in Montana, but not wearing one can significantly hurt your case. On top of this, it’s common for people involved in motorcycle accident lawsuits, be it insurance adjusters or jurors, to be biased towards motorcyclists who weren’t wearing a helmet.

Despite the many hurdles you face after being involved in an accident, we’ll be able to steer you and your case in the right direction. We have years of experience building cases that overcome these biases and more. We’ve done it countless times and successfully obtained a reasonable settlement or a good verdict for several of our clients. We’re more than able to do the same for you, too.

Feeling Overwhelmed By The Unnecessary Complexity Of Getting Fair Compensation?

Most motorcycle accidents in Montana are commonly caused by drivers failing to pay adequate attention, whether because they’re on the phone or just generally not keeping a proper eye out for motorcycle riders. Unfortunately, accidents that happen as a result of this often cause incredibly severe injuries, including orthopedic injuries and traumatic brain injuries. More than this, there’s also a considerably high chance the motorcyclist involved will lose their life.

Dealing with the higher risk of loss of life and severe injury is just the start of the challenges associated with a motorcycle accident, though.

Insurance companies always try to place as much blame on the motorcyclist as possible. They’ll go as far as to portray you as being a natural risk-taker and, thus, an unsafe driver by default. They may even hire “experts” to do psychological evaluations and testify that you are entirely unconcerned about your own safety. Does this sound rational at all? It doesn’t because it isn’t, and we’ve proven this in countless cases – as evidenced by our track record of success.

Helping You When You Need It Most

We’ll use qualified and respected experts and thoroughly investigate the wreck to construct a case for you that withstands these questionable lines of argument from the insurance company – all part of our strategy to overcome these sorts of defenses in your case.

No matter the exact circumstances, our motorcycle accident lawyers will fight for you as we pursue every available avenue to secure the best possible outcome for your case. We’ll flex our negotiation skills, and if doing so doesn’t move the ball as we hope, we’ll stand ready to litigate, even to the point of going to trial in a court of law.
