It is important for those injured in this tragedy to know that Montana law provides for the advance payment of medical bills and lost wages prior to resolution of the claim. A lawyer can send the necessary forms and documents to get Amtrak paying for medical bills and lost wages. This feature of Montana law can be critically important given the financial stresses that can be brought to bear when someone is seriously injured.
Finally, as in any tragedy causing serious injuries or death, it is important to have a lawyer review any releases or paperwork put in front of them by the responsible party. We have seen too many times people who had valid claims worth hundreds of thousands, or even millions of dollars, who got talked into signing releases for pennies on the dollars. An experienced wrongful death and serious injury attorney can appropriately advise about the value of the claim, and make sure no documents are signed which prevent or limit your right to recovery.
