Personal injury lawyers, Spoon Gordon provide the opportunity for an injured person to sue another person at fault for those injuries.
Need advice about Personal Injury Law? Personal injury law covers many different situations and provides the opportunity for an injured person to sue another person at fault for those injuries.
Some areas of the law our attorneys can help you with include:
- Dog bites
- Trip/fall
- Spinal injury
- Brain injury
- Bicycle accidents
- Third party wrongful death
- Product liability
- Recreational injury
- Automobile negligence
- Catastrophic injury
- Commercial vehicle liability
- Electrical injury
- Head injury
- Motor vehicle accidents and injuries
- Motorcycle accidents
- Neurolaw
- Pedestrian injuries
- Severe burns
Catastrophic injuries arise in different forms. They include brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, fractures, damage to sight, or nerve damage to name a few. Whether it is the result of a slip and fall, an auto accident, a victim of a drunk driver, a defective product, a work-related accident, or other intentional or negligent cause, the financial and emotional effects to a victim can be enormous. Often such injuries result in a lifetime of medical treatment and continuous life-care support. Victims may also face years or decades of lost income because of disability. Such injuries, in short, can lead to drastic changes in the lives of individuals.
A plaintiff who is successful at making a personal injury claim may be entitled to lost income, past and future medical costs, pain and suffering and emotional distress compensation. Many personal injury claims settle out of court, sometimes at a Settlement Mediation. If an out of court settlement does not occur, the personal injury case may make it to a judge or jury who will decide first on fault and then on damages.
Because of the potential great damages involved in catastrophic injuries, it is particularly important that the injured claimant retain a law firm with exceptional expertise, an established record of proven successes. The attorneys at Spoon Gordon, PC can help you determine your legal rights, give you examples of personal injury settlements and give you an idea of your chances of receiving compensation for your losses.
Unfortunately, injuries happen. Although they come in all different shapes and sizes, compensable injuries can include slip and falls, pedestrian/bicycle/motorcycle incidents, recreational accidents, traumatic brain injuries, and even wrongful death. It can be tough to know when should you hire a lawyer for yourself or a deceased loved one. We have a reputation for getting results. If fact, our firm has secured millions of dollars for our past clients and is always available to provide free consultations to those with questions. All personal injury and wrongful death matters are handled on a contingency fee basis – you pay nothing unless and until we win or settle your case.
How Do I Know If I Need a Lawyer?
If you have been injured badly enough to initiate an internet search and came to our page, it’s worth a call to our firm. It can be tough to make the leap, but our caring and knowledgeable attorneys and staff will be there every step of the way. We aggressively advocate for our client’s rights under Montana law and take the stress of dealing with insurance companies and hospital bills off of your plate.
I Was Injured, But Haven’t Pursued Medical Attention. Is It Too Late?
No. Often times, it can be hard to tell what your injuries are immediately after an accident, such as a slip and fall. It can be days or even weeks to fully feel and appreciate the injuries you may have sustained. It is not too late to seek treatment, and we always tell our clients that getting your health back to where it was pre-accident is the #1 priority.
What Can I Do To Help My Case?
Document everything and keep detailed records. Keep your attorney up to date on your treatment and your healing process. We frequently recommend our clients keep journals about major life changes or adjustments they have had to make, and even daily impairments that they or their loved ones notice. The more detailed and self-reflective you are, the easier it will be for your attorney to accurately explain and document your injuries later down the road because memories fade and it can be difficult to recall the full impact of an injury months or even years later.
Can I Still Hire An Attorney If My Loved One Passed Away?
Absolutely. The personal representative of the estate, often times the executor of the will, may bring a claim for damages against the person or entity who caused the death. Wrongful death occurs when a person dies because of another person’s actions, either intentional or negligent. If you have had a loved one die due to someone else’s negligence, call us today – we will help you through every step of this difficult process.

More than 60 years of experience handling insurance cases
The attorneys at Spoon Gordon, PC in Missoula know insurance law. With more than 60 years of experience trying insurance cases in state and federal courts, our attorneys understand the arguments that juries want to hear and the strategies that produce results. Whether your issue involves life, property, casualty, automotive or disability insurance, we have the knowledge and the skill to help you successfully resolve the problem and move forward with your life.
Leveling the playing field for our clients
The attorneys at Spoon Gordon, PC focus their insurance practice in the following areas:
- Insurance litigation and appeals
- First-party claims
- Third-party claims
- Claim management consulting
- Motor vehicle claims
- Construction claims
- Analysis and interpretation of insurance policies
Our attorneys are highly trained professionals who work to educate our clients and protect their rights. For example, knowing the difference between a first-party claim and a third-party claim can be critical to choosing the proper insurance coverage for yourself or your business. A first-party claim involves the insurance company’s refusal to pay benefits on a claim submitted by a policyholder. Third-party claims arise when an insurance company either fails to defend a suit brought by a third party against an insured or fails to pay on a claim asserted by a third party against the insured.
Knowing your rights is the first step to finding a solution to your legal problems, and we are dedicated to guiding you through the process to make sure you receive the coverage you bought.
Know your rights and demand what you deserve
Insurance companies often claim your policy lacks the coverage necessary to provide you with the benefits you seek. If the insurance companies refuse to honor your claim, our firm analyzes every detail of your policy to prove them wrong. If litigation becomes necessary, you can rest assured that our attorneys vigorously defend your rights in court to get you the best possible results.
We have a proven record of successful settlements and jury verdicts, and are comfortable with handling even the most complex cases.
Contact the attorneys at Spoon Gordon, PC to protect your rights
If your insurance carrier is refusing to provide you with the benefits that you are entitled to, call Montana’s Spoon Gordon, PC at 406-541-2200 today. Our attorneys are ready to help you find the solutions you need to move forward with your life.
When I was left hanging just prior to my trial by another Missoula Law Firm who lost their footing, Spoon Gordon mercifully helped me navigate to a settlement. He truly cared and though there was little he could do with what he was given, he still had compassion and helped me. I’lll never forget this kindness and can’t give this office enough praise!

Car Accidents
Car Accidents
Our Practice Areas
| Car Accidents
Car & Automobile Accidents are a fact of life. Often the result can be serious bodily injury.
Who is at fault, who is entitled to compensation and how much, and how a driver’s record is affected by the car accident are all governed by state law. If you have been involved in a car accident, you may be entitled to receive compensation for your damaged property and for any other harm that the accident caused such as personal injury. Compensation generally includes payment of medical bills and lost wages plus compensation for other damages like pain and suffering. This compensation typically comes from filing an accident claim with your own insurance company or from the other driver’s insurance company, depending on the circumstances of the incident and the law where you live. Uninsured and under-insured motorists can also be a consideration when you have been an automobile accident. These factors and the extent of your injuries and damages will also dictate the amount of your car accident settlement.
Why should you talk to a lawyer? The attorneys at Spoon Gordon, PC have more than 60 years of combined experience with both claimants and insurance companies to help resolve these types of claims. Let our experience protect and support you in this otherwise overwhelming process.
Motor vehicle accidents can include cars, motorcycles, trucks, bicycles and pedestrians. Being involved in an accident (even a minor one) is a nerve-wracking ordeal. You shouldn’t have to go through the process alone.
Why Should I Hire a Lawyer to Handle My Case?
Unfortunately, car accidents are a fact of life. Often the result can be serious bodily injury and an insurance nightmare. The attorneys at Spoon Gordon, PC are experienced and ready to help you navigate through your next steps after an accident. The attorneys take on the stress and anxiety you’ve been carrying and get to work immediately on your claim. Our office will keep you updated every step of the way, and we are always available to address your questions or concerns.
Spoon Gordon has a stream-lined and effective process for evaluating your injuries, reviewing and summarizing medical records, and ensuring you receive the appropriate medical care and compensation. Insurance companies often know which attorneys will hold them accountable, which is the case with the attorneys at Spoon Gordon due to 60+ years of experience dealing with insurance companies, claimants, and other attorneys.
After we accept your case, our office will provide you with a folder with answers to FAQs, the dos and don’ts during this process, and handouts detailing next steps. Unlike many other law firms, the attorneys at Spoon Gordon are more than willing to address your questions and concerns personally. We are never too busy for our clients.
Why Are Experts Important?
Auto accidents are almost never as simple as they seem. If needed, Spoon Gordon utilizes a variety of experts to inspect the crash scene and re-create the speed and maneuvers of the vehicle to determine the true causes of the accident. Unsafe driving conditions, excessive speed, reckless driving, intoxication, road rage, and distractions are all factors that must be considered in your case. Our experts are able to pin down the elements of the crash, which helps us build a strong case for you.
What Should I Do Immediately After a Car Accident?
Although each case varies, the usual protocol includes checking for injuries, moving you car to safety, initiating your hazard lights, calling 911 to report the accident, taking photographs of the entire scene – make sure to capture any tire marks, the other vehicle(s), your vehicle, any pieces of the vehicles in the roadway, and the scene around the vehicle, such as buildings close by, anything impacting visibility, etc. You should also ask any witnesses for their name and contact information. You should be cautious not to admit fault, such as “I’m so sorry!” or “This was totally my fault!” Remember, things may not always be as they seem. Be sure to accurately tell the officer what happened, and answer any questions truthfully.
Should I Seek Medical Treatment Even If I’m Not Visibly Injured?
Absolutely. Injuries from auto accidents come in all shapes and sizes. It is important to seek medical treatment after an accident, which will help identify broken bones, sprains, concussions, whiplash, etc. Often times, the adrenaline from the accident will cover up pain you would normally feel, so it’s always a good idea to get an examination. Sometimes people involved in an accident feel completely fine until the next day.
