The full answer

There's no objective "best" personal injury lawyer in Helena. Which one is right for you depends on your type of case. I was only able to run one search, so this is a starting list, not a ranking.

Helena attorneys listed for personal injury on Justia and Cornell's LII directories:

  • Scott Peterson, (406) 442-3261. He has about 15 years of experience. His practice covers personal injury, insurance claims, construction and medical malpractice, and he belongs to The National Trial Lawyers.
  • Keif Storrar, (406) 442-7830. He has about 13 years of experience.
  • Mathew Johnson, (406) 442-3625, 1085 Helena Ave. He has about 27 years of experience. His practice is general: personal injury, criminal, DUI and family law.
  • Benjamin C. Tiller, 213 5th Ave. He offers free consultations, and his practice includes personal injury and products liability.

How to choose:

  1. Find a specialist for your kind of case. Car or truck crashes, medical malpractice, workplace injuries and wrongful death need different skills. Ask how many cases like yours they've handled, and how many went to trial rather than settling.
  2. Check their record. The State Bar of Montana can tell you about license status and any discipline. Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, Super Lawyers and Google reviews add more detail.
  3. Make sure they represent injured people, not insurers. Some lawyers listed under "personal injury" actually work for the defense side.
  4. Get several free consultations. Most personal injury lawyers work on contingency, usually taking 33–40% of what you recover. Ask about their fee, who pays case costs if you lose, and who will actually handle your case day to day.
  5. Ask for referrals. The Montana Trial Lawyers Association or the State Bar's lawyer referral service can suggest local plaintiff's attorneys.

Montana generally gives you 3 years to file a personal injury lawsuit, but some cases have shorter deadlines, especially claims against the government. It's best to talk to a lawyer soon.
