Services
A claim for personal injury includes any type of fault-based accidental or intentional injury. Oftentimes it is difficult to determine who is responsible for your injury. As a result, an injured person may end up bearing the costs of an injury when another party is legally responsible. At Duckworth Law, we are experienced with a wide variety of claims for personal injury and have a keen eye in finding the responsible party.
Car accidents are the most common type of claim for personal injury since most of us drive cars every day. Car accidents are unfortunately a common occurrence, and often preventable. Montana also has a higher rate of motor vehicle fatalities than the national rate (19 versus 11 per 100,000). There are approximately 2,000-3,000 car crashes in Montana a year, with typically over 1,000 injuries, and hundreds of serious injuries and fatalities.
Duckworth Law is a litigation or trial-based law firm, meaning we can likely handle any type of claim involving a lawsuit. Obviously, not every lawsuit involves a physical injury, and there are other types of "injuries." One common type of claim stems from an employment situation gone bad. Perhaps you are wrongly fired from your job, or worse, discriminated against based on race, sex, age, gender, etc.
Head or brain injuries are a unique injury that poses a variety of challenges. Brain injuries are one of the hardest to deal with for victims because an unhealthy mind is something you cannot escape. On top of that, at least in a lawsuit, insurance companies and defendants are always questioning the legitimacy of symptoms, because no one can see inside your head.
If you are hurt on the job, you are entitled to recover medical and wage loss compensation from your employer's workers' compensation insurer. Work comp is a no-fault based claim for personal injury. Montana State Fund is Montana's largest insurer, but there are many other Montana workers' compensation insurance companies.

I would highly recommend Keil and Duckworth Law Office. If you need a lawyer he is the man for you. He represented me in a professional manner and always made the time to clarify to me what was transpiring. He is straightforward in recommendations and has an in depth understanding of both the law and people which is priceless. He facilitated a very fair deal in my case and was also very supportive of me. Ronan is very lucky to have Keil.
