Missoula, MT Attorneys

Our Personal Injury Attorneys’ Practice Areas

At Kovacich Snipes Johnson, we handle a variety of personal injury case types. With personal injury attorneys like us by your side, you have the best chance of getting the compensation you deserve. 

The personal injury areas we can help with include the following:

• Car Accidents: Car accidents are the most common types of personal injury claims. The Missoula Police Department has reported that it responds to approximately 1,800 car crashes per year, with the most dangerous stretch of road being that along U.S. 93/Reserve St. Police have also called out the intersections at North Reserve Street and Mullan Road, Brooks Street and Reserve Street, and Reserve Street and South Third Street West as being particularly dangerous. In recent years, the number of accidents taking place in these locations has grown. Whether someone was driving while intoxicated, engaged in reckless or distracted driving, or fell asleep at the wheel, you have the right to pursue compensation for the injuries and any other losses you’ve sustained.
• Workers’ Compensation: If you’ve suffered an injury at work, the most likely outcome is that you’re eligible for workers’ compensation. But that isn’t always a straightforward process. Filing for workers’ compensation can be difficult to do on your own, and the coverage it offers is often not enough. If that’s the case, then turning to a team of personal injury attorneys like us can help. 
• Workplace Accidents: The Montana Department of Labor & Industry has reported that the state has one of the highest work-related fatality rates in the country, with many taking place in the agriculture, forestry, fishing, and hunting industries. In 2023, a worker was killed at a lumber mill in Seeley Lake in an accident involving heavy machinery. Despite the best intentions of everyone involved, these things happen. In instances where an injury you suffer at work is the result of a third party and not your employer, your best option is to file a personal injury lawsuit. Doing so requires proving negligence and liability, which can be complex, so it’s best to ensure that you have Missoula, MT, personal injury attorneys on your side.
• Asbestos Claims: In early 2024, the Missoula City Council voted to remove local administration requirements on building permits from the state asbestos program, leaving enforcement to the Montana Department of Environmental Quality. While some may see less regulation in this area as a good thing, there are those who believe it leaves open a possibility for individuals to be exposed to asbestos. If you or a loved one has developed mesothelioma or another disease caused by asbestos, you’re likely entitled to file a personal injury claim. Asbestos claims are often part of mass tort cases, which affect multiple people at once. We can use negligence, strict liability, or breach of warranty tenets to prove your claim and help you get the compensation you deserve.
• Coal Mine Accidents: These are often the result of negligence on someone’s part in that they involve people not following safety regulations. As such, you could have a strong claim on your hands. 

We begin working on all of our claims with a thorough assessment to get an accurate idea of what happened and whether we can help. If we can, we’ll immediately start gathering the necessary evidence to prove your need for compensation. We’ll compile police reports, medical records, eyewitness statements, and anything else that can show what really happened. 

We have decades of experience negotiating with insurance companies, as well, so you can leave this tough step to us while you focus on healing. If negotiations aren’t going the way we want, we’re ready to file a lawsuit on your behalf and take your case to court so you can get a fair hearing.
