Billings Car & Truck Accident Lawyers
JF Injury Law represents Montanans who have been seriously injured — or lost someone — in auto and truck crashes. That’s all we do.
Available 24/7 · Free consultation · No fee unless we recover for you
The insurance company is already working on your case. Is anyone working on yours?
Within days of a serious crash, the at-fault driver’s insurance company has an adjuster assigned, a recorded statement request drafted, and a plan to pay you as little as possible. Meanwhile, you’re in a hospital room trying to figure out what just happened to your life.
The first 72 hours matter. Evidence disappears. Vehicles get scrapped. Camera footage gets overwritten. And the friendly adjuster on the phone is building a file to use against you.
You don’t have to figure this out alone — and you shouldn’t say a word to their insurance company before you talk to a lawyer.
Start with a Free Crash Response Plan
Every case at JF Injury Law starts the same way: a free, no-pressure call where a lawyer — not a call center — walks you through exactly what to do next. You’ll leave the call with a written, personalized Crash Response Plan covering:
01
Your health
Getting the medical care you need, documented the right way.
02
Your evidence
What to save, photograph, and lock down in the next 72 hours — before it's gone.
03
Your protection
How to handle insurance calls without hurting your case. Short version: don't talk to them — we will.
04
Your options
An honest assessment of your case and what happens if you hire us.
The Plan is yours to keep whether you hire us or not. No cost. No obligation. No pressure.
We don't do a little bit of everything. We do one thing.
Most law firms take car crash cases and divorces and DUIs and slip-and-falls. JF Injury Law was built differently. We handle serious auto and truck crash cases across Montana — and nothing else.
highway
We know crash cases cold.
Trucking regulations, black box data, accident reconstruction, insurance coverage stacking — this is our entire practice, not a sideline.
semi truck
We're selective.
Because we only take serious cases, every client gets real attorney attention — not a case number in a settlement mill.
courthouse
Insurance companies know the difference.
Adjusters track which firms settle cheap and which firms are built to try cases.
Hit by a semi or commercial truck? Move fast.
Truck cases are different. The trucking company’s rapid-response team is often at the scene before the wreckage is cleared — investigators, adjusters, sometimes defense lawyers. The evidence that proves your case (driver logs, onboard computer data, dashcam footage, maintenance records) is in their hands, and some of it can legally be destroyed within months.
We send preservation demands immediately and know exactly what to lock down: electronic logging data, engine control module downloads, driver qualification files, dispatch records, and the vehicle itself.
If a commercial truck hurt you or someone you love, call today — not next month.
Montana lawyers, built for crash cases
JF Injury Law was founded on a simple idea: seriously injured Montanans deserve a firm that treats their case like the most important thing in the world — because for that family, it is.

Founding Partner
Washburn Law graduate and former Crowley Fleck attorney who left big-firm life in 2016 to build his own practice. Licensed in Montana, Idaho, Kansas, and North Dakota.

We’re based in Billings and represent clients across Montana — from Yellowstone County to every corner of the state. When your case needs us, we come to you: hospital rooms, kitchen tables, wherever you are.
No fee unless we recover for you
Our fee is a percentage of what we recover — explained plainly, in writing, before you sign anything. If we don’t recover compensation for you, you don’t owe us an attorney fee. You’ll never get a surprise bill from us.
Montana crash case questions, answered straight
At JF Injury Law, nothing up front. We work on contingency: our fee is a percentage of the recovery, and if there’s no recovery, there’s no attorney fee. The consultation and Crash Response Plan are free.
Montana law gives you a limited time to file — generally three (3) years for injury claims, with more requirements in some situations, like claims involving government vehicles. The safest move is to talk to a lawyer now, because evidence disappears long before legal deadlines arrive.
No. You are not required to give the at-fault insurer a recorded statement, and doing so almost always hurts your case. Politely decline and have your lawyer handle every communication.
It depends on your injuries, medical costs, lost income, long-term impact, and the insurance available. Anyone who quotes you a number before investigating is guessing. We give honest assessments after we’ve seen the facts — never inflated promises.
Get medical care, save every photo and document, don’t repair or release your vehicle, write down witness information, and don’t talk to the at-fault insurer. That’s exactly what our Free Crash Response Plan walks you through, step by step.
Yes — commercial truck crashes are a core focus of our practice. These cases involve federal trucking regulations and evidence that can be destroyed quickly, so contact us as soon as possible.
