> If you’ve slipped and fallen because someone else was careless, you may have grounds for a lawsuit. Get the max compensation you’re due in Montana with a slip-and-fall lawyer’s help.

You may have been doing your weekly shopping at the grocery store, visiting a favorite museum, or just climbing the steps of the local courthouse when everything went wrong. You slipped, and when you fell, you suffered a devastating injury . Unfortunately, you may already have trouble recovering from these injuries.

Luckily, you don’t have to settle your claim without help. Your lawyer at Craig Swapp & Associates is here to be your guide through the legal process. Your Montana slip-and-fall lawyer can be a key part of your recovery when you’re hurt and suffering.

Liability for Montana Slip-and-Fall Accidents

You may not have been directly injured by another person, but you may still be suffering because someone was careless. A slip-and-fall accident may have been caused by another party’s negligence, and if so, your Montana trip-and-fall lawyer can help you identify them.

Typically, the person responsible for your injuries is the property owner. While someone else may have caused the situation that led to your injuries, the property owner is responsible for maintaining the safety of their property for visitors.

For example, let’s say a store clerk failed to clean up a puddle of laundry detergent. They didn’t warn you verbally about the spill, and they didn’t put up a sign warning you, either. If you were injured in a fall because of their actions, the property owner or employer is still responsible for what happens on their property.

Compensation for Slip-and-Fall Injuries

A Montana slip-and-fall accident may not seem like a serious situation, but even a short fall can have big consequences. You may have broken bones , strains and sprains, and other serious injuries like concussions . These injuries can have a lasting impact on your life, and you should be compensated for that impact.

That’s more than just your economic damages, or the financial losses you suffered. That may also include the emotional and mental toll of your injuries, or non-economic damages. Your lawyer can help you calculate these damages.

Below are just some of the damages you may be due:

Can I Be Held Partly At Fault?

When you’re hurt in a slip-and-fall accident, you may be worried about your own part in the claim. Maybe you were texting and didn’t look where you stepped. But admitting even partial fault can devastate your claim.

The at-fault party doesn’t want to pay everything you’re due, so they may try to shift the blame. For example, they may claim you were 10 percent at fault for your injuries. Your compensation could then be reduced by 10 percent. That can leave you without a key portion of your compensation, so talk to your lawyer about protecting your claim before you take it to court.

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.
