What Compensation Can I Recover In a Personal Injury Lawsuit?
In Montana, if you file a personal injury lawsuit and are successful in proving your case, you may be eligible to recover various types of compensation, also known as damages. The specific types of compensation you can seek include:
- Medical Expenses: You can seek compensation for all reasonable and necessary medical expenses related to your injury. This includes past, present, and anticipated future medical costs, such as hospital bills, surgeries, medication, rehabilitation, therapy, and assistive devices.
- Lost Wages: If your injury resulted in the inability to work, you can seek compensation for the income you lost during your recovery period. This includes wages, salaries, bonuses, and other benefits you would have earned had you not been injured.
- Pain and Suffering: Montana allows for the recovery of non-economic damages, such as pain and suffering endured as a result of the injury. This includes physical pain, emotional distress, mental anguish, loss of enjoyment of life, and other subjective damages.
- Disability and Impairment: If the injury results in a long-term or permanent disability or impairment, you may be entitled to compensation for the impact it has on your daily life, ability to work, and overall quality of life.
- Property Damage: If your personal property was damaged or destroyed as a result of the incident that caused your injury, you can seek compensation for the repair or replacement costs.
- Loss of Consortium: In certain cases, if your injury has affected your spousal relationship, companionship, or ability to engage in normal marital relations, your spouse may be eligible to seek compensation for loss of consortium.
It's important to note that Montana follows a modified comparative fault system. This means that if you are found partially at fault for the accident or your injuries, your compensation may be reduced proportionately to your degree of fault.
Calculating the exact amount of compensation can be complex and depends on various factors specific to your case. Consulting with our experienced personal injury attorneys in Bozeman is advisable to understand your rights, assess the potential value of your claim, and navigate the legal process effectively.

When dealing with a personal injury claim, hiring a qualified personal injury attorney can make a substantial difference. But what do personal injury lawyers do to help you win your case? In short, a personal injury attorney serves as your advocate, advisor, and guide throughout the legal process, helping you pursue fair compensation and navigate complex insurance and legal systems.
Here’s how Hoyt & Blewett PLLC can help with your case:
- Evaluating Claims and Gathering Evidence: Personal injury attorneys assess the details of your case to determine if you have grounds for a claim. They gather evidence, such as medical records, witness statements, police reports, and expert testimonies, to build a strong case in your favor.
- Negotiating with Insurance Companies: Insurance companies are often quick to offer settlements that may not cover all your expenses. A skilled personal injury lawyer negotiates with insurers on your behalf to seek a fair and comprehensive settlement, ensuring you don’t accept less than you deserve.
- Handling Legal Paperwork: Personal injury claims require extensive documentation. An attorney ensures all required paperwork is filed correctly and on time, preventing delays or legal missteps that could jeopardize your case.
- Advocating in Court if Necessary: If negotiations with the insurance company fail to yield fair compensation, a personal injury attorney will take your case to court. Hoyt & Blewett PLLC has a track record of achieving favorable verdicts for clients in Montana, including record-breaking settlements.
- Maximizing Compensation: Personal injury lawyers strive to secure comprehensive compensation for all damages related to your injury, including medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and long-term care needs.
Is It Worth Hiring a Personal Injury Attorney?
One of the most commonly asked questions is, “Is it worth hiring a personal injury attorney?” In many cases, the answer is a resounding yes, especially when facing serious injuries, long-term medical costs, or a complex legal system. Hiring a lawyer can increase the chances of a successful outcome and a higher settlement.
Here’s why hiring a personal injury lawyer can be beneficial:
- Understanding of Personal Injury Law: Navigating personal injury law on your own can be overwhelming. Personal injury lawyers know the ins and outs of the legal system and can advise you on the best strategies for your case.
- Leveling the Playing Field Against Insurance Companies: Insurance companies often have their own team of lawyers working to protect their interests. With an experienced personal injury attorney from Hoyt & Blewett PLLC on your side, you level the playing field and ensure you have a knowledgeable advocate.
- Increased Settlement Offers: Studies show that claimants represented by personal injury lawyers generally receive higher settlement offers than those who go it alone. A lawyer’s negotiation skills and understanding of what your case is truly worth can lead to more favorable outcomes.
- No Upfront Costs: Many personal injury lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, meaning they only get paid if you win your case. This allows you to pursue a claim without financial stress and aligns your lawyer’s interests with your own.
At Hoyt & Blewett PLLC, we understand the importance of having a dedicated personal injury lawyer by your side. Our team is committed to providing compassionate and effective representation to help you achieve the best possible outcome for your case.
