Trucking Crashes

Environmental Contamination
For decades, big corporations have recklessly contaminated Montana’s pristine lands and waters with a variety of toxic chemicals. Many of these chemicals can seep into the water table and migrate through the aquifer, eventually contaminating surface water, wells, and waterways far away from the original contamination source. If you find that your property has been infiltrated by toxic contaminants, you may be able to pursue claims even if it has been decades since the original pollution took place. Contact us to discuss your options.
Consumer Protection
Montana law prevents businesses and individuals from engaging in deceptive acts or practices in connection with the sale of goods or services. If you have been the victim of deceptive pricing, “bait and switch” tactics, misrepresentations regarding the nature or quality of something you have purchase, you may be entitled to bring claims against the person or business who deceived you. We have helped our clients recover hundreds of thousands of dollars as a result of unlawful business practices, so if you have been a victim, contact us immediately.
Class Action Lawsuits
Our attorneys have litigated class action lawsuits involving securities violations, breach of fiduciary duties by lenders, and other matters where the value of the claim is too low to justify any one person pursuing the claim, but the harm affects a large number of people. By banding together, a group of claimants can sometimes pursue recovery of damages that might not otherwise be worth. If you have been the victim of misconduct on the part of a financial institution, retail store, or other entity where the harm to you was relatively minor, but you believe there are many other people who have suffered the same harm, contact us to discuss the option of pursuing a class action lawsuit.
Dram Shop Claims
Did you know that under Montana law, it is illegal for a bar to serve alcohol to a customer who is visibly intoxicated, and that if a bar serves alcohol to a visibly intoxicated person and that person harms you, then you can sue the bar for violating Montana law and causing the harm you suffered? If you are the victim of a crash involving a drunk driver, or an assault or other incidents where someone who was unlawfully provided alcohol, contact us to discuss your options as soon as possible. The statute of limitations for these claims is extremely short, so don’t delay!
