A worker at Glacier National Park was attacked while feeding the bears at a tourist attraction in the park.  The worker, Brock Hopkins’ was found to be smoking marijuana slightly before the accident. A Montana judge ruled that the use of marijuana did not cause the attack, which  made Hopkins eligible work workman’s compensation benefits. If you have been involved in an accident or legal situation in which drugs or alcohol are a factor, a well qualified criminal defense attorney could lead the court to discount the drug/alcohol use as it was in the case of Brock Hopkins.
