Legal Question in Personal Injury in Montana

Re: Car accident

The driver had a duty to keep a lookout and to drive at a reasonable speed that would allow him to stop and avoid hitting anyone in the roadway. This is even more so if the accident occurred in a residential neighborhood or near a school where kids are frequently at play or crossing the roadway. The fact that the driver was not cited has little or no bearing upon his potential negligence.

Whatever you do, you should not sign anything, especially from an insurance company, until you have had the opportunity to review this matter, and any documents, with a competent personal injury attorney. Is your daughter receiving medical care? Did you get the license and insurance information for the driver?
