I was injured at work and needed a lawyer who would understand and not take for granted what I was going through. Alex and Johnathan with MONTLICK & ASSOCIATES were like Batman and Robin. While Alex was leading the defense he had Johnathan that not only kept in constant contact with my day to day issues, he also had first hand experience of what my injuries were and what I was going through physical, mentally and emotionally. Alex & Johnathan, you both gave me a reason to believe that not all lawyers are only about their bottom line. I thank you both for being there when I was at one of the lowest points in my life.
Ellen Forrester and Nicole Casorio are the best in the business.Incredible professionalism, honesty and efficiency.Not only was Ellen 100% accurate on her assessment of my case, she was also a straight shooter.Nicole thank you for your patience and help in navigating this stressful process.10/10

Hello Jason, thank you for your time today. Although we are not processing a case, you took the time to explain the information, give clear examples and showed compassion. This tells me there are people who believe in great service and do what they say they're going to do. I wish you all the best. :)- Gina
When it comes to personal injuries being handled with upmost quality care, professionalism and determination to resolve all legal woes quickly and successfully. I'll be the first in a very long line of satisfied customers to say that Monica Pearson, (one of Atlanta's great Black female broadcast journalists and the first, former WSB-TV evening anchor at Channel 2 Action News) who I truly admire was right on the money (meaning trustworthy) for informing all victims of negligence to seek legal help from a proven law firm such as Montlick & Associates, who I call the best of the best LEGAL STRONG ARMS in the personal injury business!I'm a client of this wonderful establishment who truly took care of all my needs relating to my unfortunate accident, all due to a distracted driver who paid dearly for his poor driving ability.In saying that, I must recognize two important people at the firm. One is legal assistant Amber Starks (a marvelous paralegal) who kept my spirit up while I dealt with my personal recovery. Amber Starks is fantastic person to know, and second is my attorney, the incredible Nick Vocino. I call him a "legal eagle battling ram" for the underdog against vicious insurance companies. He's terrific! Nick "The Battle Ram" Vocino is "no joke" when it comes to him protecting his clients, he's fabulous! And last but also first is the entire staff at Montlick, who made me feel like one of their family members, just splendid! Alright people, I stated I was recognizing two, but I ended up acknowledging four. Monica Pearson, Amber Starks, Nick Vocino and the staff at Montlick; thank you for all that you have done and still do. All of you have earned my respect and deserve a round of applause from your clients. Ladies & gentlemen, I appreciate you for a job well done. Many blessings I send to you.

Serving Bicycle Crash Injury Victims Nationwide

We Fight Against Cyclist Bias

From motorists jabbering away on a cell phone to unrestrained dogs chasing after cyclists, the risk of a cyclist being involved in a serious accident is substantial. These risks are compounded by the negative attitude that many drivers have toward bicycle riders and the susceptibility of bicyclists to accidents caused by potholes in poorly maintained streets.

It is important that you seek prompt legal advice after a bike collision with a motor vehicle. Insurance companies routinely try to settle accident claims for less than they are worth when the injured party is a cyclist.

Recent studies show that settlements for injuries suffered in motor vehicles are up to 30% to 40% higher than for the same type of injuries suffered by cyclists.

After a bike accident, it may feel like the world is against you; but your path forward starts with calling Montlick.

Bicyclists Face Unique Risks on the Road

A bicyclist has essentially no more protection from impact than a pedestrian. When a cyclist is hit by a driver, the result is often serious, debilitating injuries. While a motorcyclist also has no protection, a motorcycle has the power and speed to move out of the path of an inattentive driver. A bicycle does not move at a high enough rate of speed to give a bicyclist much chance of avoiding an impending collision even if the rider detects a potential collision before it happens. The small size of a bicycle also makes it more likely to be unnoticed by a driver and more likely to be present in places that a driver may not be looking.

While the risk of head injuries resulting in traumatic brain injury can be greatly reduced by wearing a helmet, head injuries can still occur. 33% of injury victims treated in emergency rooms for cycling accident-related injuries are diagnosed with a head injury.

Serious injuries like traumatic brain injuries can result in permanent loss of physical functioning, capacity for speech, cognitive skills, memory, mobility, and other effects that can seriously impair one’s ability to fully enjoy life. These types of grave injuries may also result in astronomical medical bills that can leave a family on the brink of bankruptcy. Montlick’s experienced attorneys recognize these hardships and work diligently to obtain maximum monetary recovery so that our clients can provide for their family, obtain the best possible medical care, and maintain the highest quality of life given their injuries.

What Causes Bicycle Accidents?

The Path to Financial Recovery Starts Here

Contact Montlick Now

Bicycle accidents can be caused by many different factors but common causes include:

  • Motor vehicle pulling out in front of a bicycle
  • Failure of a driver to check mirrors or turn head before changing lanes
  • Swerving into a lane and sideswiping a cyclist
  • Making an illegal left turn in front of a cyclist with right of way
  • Failure of driver to allow sufficient following distance
  • Distracted driver who fails to stop and hits rider from behind
  • Driver who fails to check behind vehicle when backing up
  • Running a red light or stop sign
  • Driver who is under the influence of drugs or alcohol
  • A motor vehicle driver turning directly in front of a bicyclist
  • Failure of driver to look both ways when resuming travel after stopping at a stop sign
  • Product defect in the design or assembly of your bicycle

One of the biggest obstacles in bicycle accident lawsuits is the common misconceptions and prejudices of the general public toward cyclists. Montlick understands the importance of addressing some members of the public’s perception that cyclists do not belong on the road with motor vehicles.

After the Accident

If you suffer serious injuries or a family member has died in a bicycle accident due to the actions of a careless, inattentive or indifferent driver, you may be entitled to compensation.

Montlick will fight hard to get you the compensation that you deserve. Every case is unique, but below is a list of the types of actions your Montlick attorney might take following your accident:

  • Conduct an immediate investigation of your accident including review of the accident report
  • Analyze any damage that occurred to your bicycle, such as chipped paint, stressed metal, bent
  • Inspecting wheels and torn brake pads which can provide insight into the cause and seriousness of the accident
  • Interview any witnesses to the accident
  • Examine the damaged bike and any debris from the bike or car
  • Gather evidence to address the usual driver’s claims that a cyclist was speeding or swerved into traffic
  • Work with bicycle accident experts who will investigate the accident scene, the damaged bicycle, and police accident report
When the at-fault driver is uninsured or underinsured

If the driver does not have insurance or sufficient coverage to cover your injuries, Montlick may still be able to help you obtain fair compensation. The driver who caused the bicycle accident may be entitled to insurance coverage from the driver’s family members, his or her employer, a rental car company or from an “umbrella” policy.

It may also be the case that other persons or entities may be responsible for the bicycle accident, including the driver’s employer, the governmental entity that maintains the road or traffic signals, or the car manufacturer responsible for a vehicle defect.

We may also pursue compensation from your own insurance company under your uninsured motorist or underinsured motorist coverage. Montlick knows that no amount of money can truly make up for your injuries or loss, but we want to provide relief from financial uncertainty by dealing with the insurance companies and the legal issues so that you can focus on healing.

Car Accident Legal FAQs

What Are Georgia Deadlines for Filing Car Accident Insurance Claims & Lawsuits?
For personal injury claims resulting from a car accident, the statute of limitations in Georgia is usually two years from the date of the accident. This means you would have two years to file a lawsuit against the responsible party/parties. Failure to file within this time frame could result in the loss of your right to seek compensation for your injuries. The statutes of limitations can vary depending on the jurisdiction of the accident.
