In Montana, a car accident can disrupt your life, and you may be entitled to compensation for the inconvenience of being without your vehicle, known as "loss of use." Even if you don’t rent a replacement, you can claim a per diem rate—typically based on the cost of renting a similar car (e.g., $50/day)—for each day your vehicle is unusable. Montana law recognizes this loss, whether your car is for personal or work use. To claim it, document the repair timeline, local rental rates, and how the loss impacted your life. Insurers may dispute the claim, so evidence is key. Blacktail Law Group helps Montanans from Bozeman to Sidney secure fair compensation by calculating accurate per diem rates, gathering evidence, countering insurer pushback, and maximizing payouts. Loss of use claims can add up, so don’t overlook them. Keep repair receipts, track downtime, and document disruptions.
