Being injured in an accident is a difficult, overwhelming experience, usually requiring you to navigate a complex legal system while dealing with potentially serious injuries. While the law gives you the right to seek compensation for your damages, many victims don't even know where to begin filing a suit.

If you're thinking of filing a lawsuit, Bothe And Lauridsen, one of northwestern Montana's leading personal injury attorneys recommends:

• Getting A Police Report: If possible, have the police come to the scene of the accident and take your statement before you leave. However, because the report can be an instrumental piece of evidence supporting your case, it's important to review the document to ensure it accurately reflects what happened.
• Hiring A Lawyer: The benefits of having professional legal representation are almost too numerous to count. Your personal injury attorney will handle everything from filing the paperwork to dealing with red tape and negotiating with the insurer. Because these law firms typically work on a contingency basis, there's no risk involved for you.
• Following Doctor's Orders: While your case is ongoing, it's crucial to follow the treatment regimen recommended by your doctor and attend all of your appointments. Of course, you want to improve as quickly as possible, but many insurance companies view an unwillingness to pursue your health as a sign of potential fraud.

Combining a century of combined legal experience with a steadfast dedication to their clients, Bothe And Lauridsen have settled claims for hundreds of clients throughout the state.
