Neuhardt Law Firm

 

 

 

Personal injury law basically refers to torts, which means an act or the failure to act that harms another person or his property in some way. Tort essentially refers to acts of negligence or liability. Acts of battery, assault or the intentional inflicting of distress fall under the purview of willful tort.

If you or a loved one have been impacted by a tort, it is best to act immediately. Different states have varying statutes of limitations when it comes to claiming compensation for torts. For instance, the statute of limitations for acts of negligence in Montana is three years. This means that claims filed after more than three years of the personal injury being inflicted will not be accepted by the courts.

The best course of action in personal injury cases is to seek the services of a reputed lawyer as soon as possible. One of the most trusted names in personal injury law in Montana is Solomon Neuhardt.

Personal Injury Law

 


Although the basics of personal injury law are more or less the same across the country, there are slight differences in legislation from state to state. Montana provides an advantage over most other states when it comes to personal injury claims.

In Montana, you might be partly at fault for your injury and still have the right to file a claim. However, you should be able to prove that you are less than 49% to blame for the injury in order to receive compensation. Needless to say, the amount of compensation you receive will be determined by the net worth of the defendant.

 




How to file a claim

 


The first step is to get information about reputed lawyers, whom you can consult regarding personal injury cases. While there is a plethora of information on the internet, you can also visit the courts in Montana to get information about personal injury attorneys practicing in the region. Solomon Neuhardt is one such trusted name in Montana, with wide experience in personal injury cases.
