Our Advantage

What Makes Us Different?

1

Over Four Decades of Trial Experience

We have over four decades of experience resolving disputes, whether through negotiated settlements or favorable trial verdicts. While the vast majority of that time has been spent representing claimants, we also have over 15 years of experience as defense litigators, giving us unique insight into the strategy and tactics of our opponents.  Our record of success and our extensive resources allow us to handle all facets of complex personal injury cases and business litigation.

2

In a Crowded Field, Our Success and Experience Makes Us Stand Out

There are many so-called trial lawyers, but your claim needs someone with the experience to maximize its value. Someone who cares, and someone who has proven themselves in court. The ability to react and respond to unexpected developments is part of what makes an effective trial lawyer. Our extensive trial background gives us the tools necessary to act decisively when new challenges and opportunities present themselves during a case.

3

Client-Oriented Service

Client-oriented legal service that is compassionate, patient, and comprehensive is the foundation of our firm.  Unlike many of our competitors, we view our  client’s problems as our own, and consider the client to be our partner. This deeply client-oriented perspective is the bedrock philosophy of our law firm. It’s what drives us to secure impressive results.

4

Aggressive Approach

Many attorneys describe themselves as “trial lawyers” despite never having taken a case to trial. This lack of courtroom experience should be a serious concern when you are trying to secure the maximum possible compensation for your losses.  Our willingness and ability to try a case has a direct bearing on our ability to negotiate a fair and just settlement for you. Insurance companies keep track of who actually tries cases versus attorneys who avoid trial, and the amount of their settlement offers reflect this most important factor. At Ragain & Clark, PC, we take an aggressive approach to dispute resolution. From the moment we accept a case we look ahead at the prospect of trial. This proactive approach ensures we are well-prepared so we never have to accept less than maximum value for your claims.

Our Areas of Practice

Medical Malpractice & Business Litigation

Birth Injuries

If your child has been injured as the result of medical negligence before, during, or after delivery, you are entitled to seek compensation for your child to help them live their best life possible following the injury. An experienced birth injury lawyer can explain how to move forward in this difficult situation and help you recover the compensation you are entitled to for your child's birth injury.

Pharmacy Malpractice

Pharmacists are entrusted to administer medication and treatments as prescribed by medical providers. There is a significant responsibility to ensure the proper medications and dosages are administered with appropriate instructions and warnings clearly communicated to patients by the pharmacy. When a pharmacy or pharmacist is negligent or commits malpractice, patients are at risk for serious health consequences, including wrongful death.

Medical Malpractice

It is devastating to place your trust in a medical professional only to suffer an injury due to medical malpractice. Each year, thousands of people are victims of surgical errors, misdiagnoses and other types of negligence on the part of a doctor, nurse, or other health care provider.  We help these victims obtain fair and just compensation for their injuries. 

It takes substantial resources to handle a medical malpractice case through trial.  You need intimate knowledge of complicated subject matter and the appropriate expert witnesses to properly evaluate and prosecute medical negligence cases.  These cases also require the ability to commit substantial amounts of attorney time to properly prepare the case.  We have the resources and access to medical professional experts to properly handle your case.

Hospital Malpractice

Hospital and emergency room negligence can cause harm to patients, sometimes even causing death. Hospital negligence, often called hospital malpractice, usually involves a negligence act by health care providers, specifically staff working at a hospital such as nurses, pharmacists, medical technicians, and other attendant staff. Even with the significant amount of health care regulations in the United States, hospital negligence is fairly common. If you’re a victim of hospital or emergency room negligence, our lawyers can help.

Business Litigation Attorneys

We also have significant experience handling claims on behalf of parties involved in a wide range of business litigation, from contract disputes to business torts.  We have represented some of the largest companies doing business in the Northern Rockies, from energy companies to financial institutions and telecommunications companies.

Maximizing Your Compensation

There are many so-called trial lawyers, but your claim needs someone with the experience to maximize its value. Someone who cares, and someone who has proven themselves in court. The ability to react and respond to unexpected developments is part of what makes an effective trial lawyer. Our extensive trial background gives us the tools necessary to act decisively when new challenges and opportunities present themselves during a case.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a time limit for bringing a lawsuit?

Yes. Injury claims have a statute of limitations deadline by which they must be filed. Failure to meet the filing deadline could lead to the dismissal of the claim, and therefore an inability to recover damages. In Montana, the general statute of limitations for personal injury claims is three years from the date of injury, but some facts and circumstances can either shorten or lengthen this time period.

The insurer wants to settle my claim. Should I engage with them?

Insurance companies are not your friends. Their interests are in direct opposition to yours. Moreover, any statements you make regarding your circumstances or the facts of your case  could be used to undermine your claim. If an insurer is attempting to engage with you, do not engage back. Contact an attorney immediately. Your attorney will serve as the point of contact, ensuring that all communications are guided towards a resolution that is favorable to your interests.

How do contingency fees work for personal injury cases?

Most personal injury firms (including our own) work on a contingency fee, which is a percentage fee paid out of the total monies recovered for you. A contingency fee is paid only if you obtain compensation. This fee arrangement incentivizes  the law firm to secure a “win” on your behalf. If you do not obtain any compensation, you will not have to pay your attorneya fee.

Why is it important to work with an injury attorney early on in the claim process?

The earlier you secure the assistance of an attorney, the better. An attorney will ensure that your claims are properly evaluated and filed within the statute of limitations deadline, and that all necessary procedural requirements are met. Further, the attorney will begin the investigation process and reach out to witnesses in a timely fashion to secure the evidence and  testimony that supports your case.
