Description:

Butte, Montana personal injury lawyer represented the Plaintiff.

Universal Protection Service was a private security company in the United States. It was part of Santa Ana, California-based Universal Services of America, which merged in 2016 with fellow security service provider AlliedBarton to form Allied Universal.

Montana personal injury law covers a number of topics, including:

Comparative negligence
Both the plaintiff and defendant are assessed for their role in the injury. The plaintiff must have less fault than the defendant to receive compensation. If the plaintiff is 51% or more at fault, they cannot receive damages.

Damages

If a plaintiff wins a personal injury lawsuit, they may be entitled to economic, non-economic, or punitive damages:

Economic damages: Cover tangible losses like medical bills, lost income, and property damage

Non-economic damages: Cover pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life
Punitive damages: Awarded in cases of extreme or intentional misconduct to punish the wrongdoer

Statute of limitations

The time limit for filing a personal injury lawsuit in Montana is usually three years.
Multiplier

A multiplier is used to determine the amount of damages based on factors like the severity of injuries, medical treatment, and whether the plaintiff is expected to make a full recovery.
