VISCOMI & GERSH, PLLP

ATTORNEYS AT LAW

Representing clients in serious accident and injury cases,

civil litigation and real estate matters.

TRIALS AND SETTLEMENTS

While most cases are settled far in advance of trial, sometimes it is necessary for cases to go to court. This usually occurs when there are serious factual disputes regarding the liability and/or damages in a case. We believe that the best way to achieve both an equitable settlement and verdict is to thoroughly prepare all cases to go to trial. The sooner the other side sees that you are serious about your case, the sooner they will want to fairly compensate you for your losses.

After a successful trial and verdict, the court will award you certain costs that are allowed by law. Costs for expenses such as filing fees, service of process, deposition transcripts, maps, surveys and other items will be awarded by the court. However, many other costs such as the fees charges by expert witness (such as doctors and accountants), travel, photocopies and most other expenses are not allowed to be awarded under Montana law. We will obtain payment for all costs allowed by law, and we pursue every opportunity to argue for an award of costs.

Unfortunately, the law does not generally allow an award of attorney fees in an injury case. However, in discrimination and some wrongful discharge cases attorney fees are available under Montana and federal law. We do everything possible to obtain payment of attorney fees from the other side.

Whether through trial or settlement, we work to get you full compensation at the earliest stage possible. Because our fees are calculated as a percentage of the amount we recover, you know we will do everything possible to maximize the value of your case. And since we are only paid when you win, you can be sure we will do what it takes to achieve the best possible outcome for our clients.
