A moment of distraction can change everything.

Taking your eyes off the road for just a few seconds is all it takes for a serious crash to happen.

📱 Put your phone away.
👀 Keep your eyes on the road.
🛑 Stay focused behind the wheel.

No text, notification, or quick glance is worth risking your life...or someone else’s.

Fast Facts 🚗

✔️At 55 mph, taking your eyes off the road for 5 seconds means driving the length of a football field blind.

✔️Sending or reading a text takes your eyes off the road for an average of 5 seconds.

✔️Texting while driving makes you about 6 times more likely to crash than driving while not distracted.

✔️Distracted driving includes more than texting! Eating, adjusting GPS, or even interacting with passengers can take your attention away.

✔️Hands-free doesn't mean risk-free. Cognitive distraction can still affect your driving.

✔️In 2024, 3,208 people were killed in crashes involving distracted drivers in the U.S.

✔️Texting is especially dangerous because it involves all three types of distraction: visual, manual and cognitive

At Rimrock Law, we believe everyone deserves to make it home safely. Let’s make Montana roads safer, one drive at a time.

⚖️ Workers’ Compensation FAQs: What Should You Know After a Work Injury?

Getting hurt on the job can leave you with more questions than answers. From medical bills to lost wages, knowing your rights can make a difficult situation a little easier to navigate.

Here are a few common questions we hear about workers’ compensation in Montana:

🔹 What if my claim is denied? You may have the right to challenge the denial and appeal the decision.

🔹 Can my employer fire me for filing a claim? Montana law prohibits retaliation for filing a workers’ compensation claim in good faith.

🔹 Can I choose my own doctor? Your options may depend on where you are in the treatment process and the rules that apply to your claim.

🔹 What if I can return to work only with restrictions? Your restrictions, available work, and specific circumstances can affect your wage-loss benefits.

Every work injury is different, and the answers can depend on the details of your situation. You deserve to understand your rights and the benefits you may be entitled to receive.

At Rimrock Law, we help injured workers navigate Montana’s workers’ compensation system and stand up for their rights.

There’s just something about fall in Montana. 🍂

Cooler mornings. Changing leaves. Friday night football (speaking of - we watched an awesome Billings Central game last Friday, nice work Rams!)

But as the days get shorter, remember to take a little extra care on the roads, please. As our community grieves a difficult few weeks, now more than ever... take a second when you are at the wheel. Slow down, consider another person's life. 🍁

Watch for deer and other wildlife, pedestrians, cyclists, and changing road conditions, especially during those early morning and evening drives.

If you do happen to get into an accident, just know, our team is here for you.

From Rimrock Law to yours, happy fall, Montana.

What happens if you are hit by an uninsured driver?

Unfortunately, getting hit by an uninsured driver can make an already stressful situation even more complicated (trust us, this happened to someone on our team this past summer).

But here's something many drivers don't realize:

Your own auto insurance policy may provide Uninsured Motorist (UM) or Underinsured Motorist (UIM) coverage.

This coverage can potentially help if you're injured by:

🔹 A driver with no insurance
🔹 A driver whose insurance isn't enough to cover your damages
🔹 A hit-and-run driver

And you're not necessarily limited to pursuing the person who caused the accident. Depending on your policy and the circumstances, you may be able to make a claim under your own UM/UIM coverage.

👉 We explain UM/UIM coverage and what options may be available after an uninsured or hit-and-run accident here:

💰 HOW DO CONTINGENCY FEES WORK?

One of the biggest questions people have after an injury is: “How am I supposed to afford a lawyer?”

At Rimrock Law, our personal injury cases are handled on a contingency fee basis.

That means:

🔹 No upfront attorney fees
🔹 You don't pay attorney fees unless we recover compensation for you
🔹 Our fee is a percentage of the settlement or award we obtain for you

The goal is to make experienced legal representation accessible when you're already dealing with medical bills, lost income, and the stress of recovering from an injury.
