> Hurt in a serious accident? You may have grounds for compensation. Speak with a Billings personal injury attorney to get guidance on your claim.

When you’re hurt because someone else was careless, recovery can be tough. You may be worried about supporting yourself and your family during this difficult time. Worse, the at-fault party may try to shift the blame to you.

When this happens, you may need more than a talk with the insurance company or at-fault party. You may need a personal injury lawyer at Craig Swapp & Associates on your side. Your Billings personal injury lawyer can help you get compensated when you’re hurt and suffering after an accident .

Am I Eligible for a Personal Injury Lawsuit?

When you’re hurt in an accident, you may have some doubts about whether you’re eligible for compensation for your injuries. For example, you may be worried your injuries aren’t serious enough, or you may be concerned that you don’t have the grounds for a lawsuit.

Here’s the good news—if you’ve suffered because someone was careless with your safety, and their carelessness caused a serious injury or expense you wouldn’t have suffered otherwise, you may have grounds for a lawsuit. Talk to your lawyer about the injuries you’ve suffered and what you can do about your claim.

Compensation for a Billings Personal Injury Claim

When you’re hurt, you need compensation that covers all your losses, not just a portion of them. Because of this, you need to know what your claim is worth before you head to a Billings courtroom.

But how do you calculate these losses caused by the accident, also called damages? Your damages can be economic and non-economic . That means they represent the financial, mental, and emotional toll of the accident you suffered. But calculating intangible damages can be tough. For example, you may need compensation for your mental anguish. How do you calculate what that’s worth in dollars?

Your Billings personal injury attorney can help you determine the value of your claim, which may include the following damages, among others:

What if I’m Partly At Fault?

Accepting part of the fault after a serious accident or other incident can hurt your claim. For example, let’s say you were struck by a distracted driver while you were crossing the street, but you were on your phone at the time of the accident.

You may have been seriously injured, but the at-fault party claims you wouldn’t have been injured if you were paying attention. Because of this, the judge may reduce your compensation by 15 percent (hypothetically).

That means you’d only receive 85 percent of the compensation you’d otherwise be due for the injuries you suffered. Luckily, you can speak with a personal injury lawyer in Billings before this happens to you.

Client Reviews

“I was concerned with all the paperwork”

Before calling your firm I had 2 big worries. One was I didn’t want to do more paper work, and that fear was resolved when I had to do very little, but Craig Swapp and Assoc. did most of it, and when I did have to come in to sign papers they worked around the times I could do it. Worry 2 was I didn’t want people to think I was “sue happy” and that I was just out to get money. I just wanted my bills to be paid for that were from the accident, and that was resolved I think by Mr. Wes Mortenson and Theresa because they listened to what I had to say.

"I would hire them in a second"

My biggest fear was not having all the expenses caused by the accident paid for in full. I was assured they would be taken care of but I admit I was skeptical. When we wrapped everything up (which happened quicker than I was originally told) I had extra money in my pocket. I honestly thought there was a catch but my attorney explained everything to me in detail. If I am ever in that position again I’ll be giving Craig Swapp a call.

"I was afraid of the fees"

I was afraid of the fees I would have to pay a lawyer. I waited over a year before hiring your law firm. I finally reached out to your online help where they were able to help me understand the process and what would happen. In all honesty I absolutely loved working with the individuals that were involved in my case. They were genuine & heartfelt about my case. It felt as though they really cared and were concerned about me, not just as a client but as a person.

"I was afraid that my issue was too small"

I was afraid that my issue was too small to be handled, and that it would just be rejected. Or that I’d end up having to pay for my medical expenses and any of your teams expenses. I would definitely answer yes, it was resolved! I wasn’t ever made out to feel like my little issue didn’t matter, and my expenses were paid for- just what I wanted/needed.

"I am very pleased with the results"

My biggest fear was that it would be pointless to pursue legal action in my case. I felt like maybe I didn’t have much of a case. After speaking with Paul, I realize it was not of my own fault and that others can be held responsible for the pain and suffering I went through.
