Our Writers
We created Montana Injuries with a clear purpose: to give people straightforward, deeply reported information when life has been disrupted by a serious injury or a difficult recovery. We believe that good editorial work can make complicated subjects easier to understand, and we approach every topic with care, clarity, and respect for the people living through hard situations.
Our coverage focuses on personal injuries, workplace accidents, and the practical realities that follow them. We pay close attention to how injuries happen, how claims and responsibilities are discussed in public records, and what recovery can look like day to day. We also highlight recovery resources that can help readers better understand the medical, financial, and personal challenges that often come after an accident. Our goal is not to overwhelm people with jargon, but to offer useful context and reporting that feels grounded in real life.
Our roots are in Montana. We are former journalists who spent years covering local courts and government, and that background shaped how we work: we value accuracy, plain language, and a close reading of the facts. Our writers, including Hank Sorensen, Dawn Birdtail, Jake Lindquist, and Carol Pfister, bring a strong sense of reporting discipline and local perspective to every piece we publish. We built this site to serve readers who want dependable information and a team that takes their questions seriously.
