Insurance companies are interested in minimizing their economic exposure when a serious injury or death has occurred. They hire attorneys whose job it is to aggressively undermine each aspect of the claim. We know their tactics. We take each case on as if it will proceed to trial and we are not afraid to take a case all the way to jury verdict if that is what is necessary to produce the best possible result. Please read more about our practice in Personal Injury and Wrongful Death. Legal malpractice occurs when a lawyer or attorney fails to do something that should have been done, or does something that should not have been done, that significantly harms his or her client's economic interests. Lawyers have a duty to live up to a reasonable professional standard of care when representing clients. They sometimes act negligently-or sometimes intentionally--in adversely affecting their clients' interests. Ways a lawyer might commit legal malpractice include:
If you feel that you have been significantly harmed by legal malpractice, contact our offices. We believe in holding lawyers accountable for their professional actions just like any other party responsible for an injury. Please read more about Legal Malpractice.

Such cases result from airplane crashes and bus or train collisions. Premises liability encompasses such matters as unsafe building conditions, design or structural flaws, or other problems on property that result in injuries. In many cases, a lack of--or substandard--security on property or in buildings results in liability to owners or landlords. Inadequate lighting in a parking lot or building entrance can contribute to an assault or mugging. Crime statistics, community standards, event history and specific risk considerations can play a part in determining whether an injurious event was foreseeable. C. Frederick Overby has the knowledge and skill to maximize your compensation for such injuries. Products liability cases involve injuries caused by defective products. A product might be defective in the way it was designed. It may also be unsafe or dangerous because of the way it was manufactured or maintained. Some consumer products are defective because they are improperly or inadequately labeled, and therefore, do not warn the consumer of dangers or side effects associated with the product. We have helped people get compensated for injuries caused by a variety of defective products, such as eye glasses, cherry picker aerial lifts, safety shield/guards on agricultural machines, child apnea monitors, and defective motor vehicles. If you have been injured because of someone's negligence or recklessness, contact us now. With offices in Bozeman, we serve all of Montana, including Billings, Butte, Great Falls, Havre, Helena, Kalispell, and Missoula.
