Frequently Asked Questions

1. What specific areas of trial law does Bidegaray Law Firm specialize in? +

We are a boutique litigation firm focusing on high-stakes cases where individuals are up against powerful corporations. Our primary practice areas include:

    • Serious Personal Injury: Catastrophic injuries, brain (TBI) and spinal cord injuries.
    • Wrongful Death: Helping families who have lost loved ones due to negligence.
    • Insurance Bad Faith: Suing insurance companies that unreasonably deny or delay claims.
    • Trucking & Auto Accidents: Complex collisions involving semi-trucks and commercial vehicles.
    • Professional Malpractice: holding professionals accountable for negligence.
2. Does Bidegaray Law Firm handle cases across all of Montana or just Bozeman? +

While our office is in Bozeman, we represent clients statewide. We handle cases in every corner of Montana, from Missoula and Billings to rural communities in Eastern Montana. Furthermore, Daniel Bidegaray is licensed in both Montana and North Dakota, allowing us to represent clients in the Bakken region and across state lines when necessary.

3. What sets your firm apart from other personal injury firms in Montana? +

Our unique focus is on dealing with insurance companies. Many personal injury firms settle quickly to avoid the work of preparing a case for trial or the costs of trial.

We settle only when the offer is fair, because we understand how to achieve just results. Additionally, Daniel Bidegaray is a graduate of the prestigious Gerry Spence Trial Lawyers College, an elite training program completed by only a small percentage of attorneys nationwide. He is also a graduate of the Keenan Trial Institute. Further, he has worked closely with Trial Lawyers for Justice and Nicholas Rowley. This advanced trial-advocacy training ensures we are not just “processing” your case but telling your story to a jury with maximum impact.

4. Do you charge any upfront fees to start a case? +

Generally, we do not do this. We usually work under a contingency fee arrangement. In simple terms, you do not have to pay anything upfront to engage us. We pay and take the risk on the costs of building your case experts, filing fees, and investigation costs. We get paid only if we recover money for you in a settlement or a court decision. Therefore, no matter what their financial status is, everyone can get legal representation at the highest level.

5. Does your firm have experience taking cases all the way to a jury trial? +

Yes. While many firms advertise as “trial lawyers” but settle 100% of their cases, Bidegaray Law Firm has a proven track record of taking cases to verdict. Insurance companies keep data on which law firms actually go to court and which ones fold. Because they know we are fully prepared to pick a jury and fight for a verdict, they are often more willing to offer a fair settlement to avoid facing us in the courtroom.
