How hard is it to win a car accident lawsuit in Montana? It usually depends on four things: who was at fault, whether the crash caused the injuries, how well the damages are documented, and whether the injured person shares any responsibility.

Even when the other driver admits fault, the case may not be over. Insurers may still dispute whether the crash caused the injuries and what those injuries are worth, and some of those disputes go all the way to trial.

Our new article explains Montana's comparative-fault rule, the evidence that matters, and recent Montana Supreme Court decisions: https://www.bolandaarab.com/how-hard-is-it-to-win-a-car-accident-lawsuit-in-montana/

It depends on fault, causation, damages, and comparative negligence. What Montana law and recent cases say about winning a car accident lawsuit.

📱 Could your social media posts affect your personal injury claim?

Insurance companies and defense lawyers may review photographs, comments, check-ins, videos, and tagged posts for information they can use to challenge a claim. Even a seemingly harmless post can be misunderstood when viewed without context.

Our latest blog explains how social media may be used after an accident in Montana, why privacy settings are not an absolute shield, and why you should speak with an attorney before deleting or changing existing content.

⚖️ Can Montana limit compensation for pain and suffering in a medical malpractice case?

A recent Cascade County District Court ruling in a case handled by Boland Aarab PLLP held that Montana’s statutory cap on noneconomic damages could not constitutionally limit the jury’s verdict in that case.

The ruling is significant—but it does not mean the damages cap has disappeared statewide. Our latest blog explains the law, the constitutional issues, and what this decision may mean for injured patients in Montana.

Many personal injury cases are resolved through negotiation or settlement, and even when a lawsuit is filed, that does not automatically mean the case will end up at trial.

In our latest blog, we explain what Montana injury clients can expect, including the difference between making a claim, filing a lawsuit, participating in discovery, and actually going to trial.

🚗💥What happens if you’re injured in a car accident and the at-fault driver doesn’t have insurance?

Can you get copies of your own medical records after an accident in Montana? Yes—and those records may be important to your injury claim.

Medical records can document your diagnosis, treatment, medical bills, physical limitations, and future care needs. Montana law also generally requires health care providers to respond to a written records request within 10 days, subject to limited exceptions or delays.

Our latest blog explains:

• What records you should request
• How long providers have to respond
• What fees may be charged
• When access may be denied
• Why you should be cautious before signing a broad insurance-company authorization
