Hands-Free Georgia Law
takes effect July 1, 2018

Montlick & Associates is proud to have been there from the beginning helping to make Georgia a hands-free state. During the 2018 Georgia General Assembly session we worked alongside state leaders, legislators, advocates and family members who lost a loved one to a distracted driver, to build support for this important piece of legislation.

Why do we feel the law is needed?
From 2014 to 2016 Georgia saw an increase of 36% in traffic crashes and a 34% increase in fatalities. There has also been a steady increase in rear-end and single-car crashes in our state. All these are a clear indication of driver distraction.

What is the basic requirement of the new law?
Under the Hands-Free Georgia Law, a driver is not allowed to hold or support a wireless telecommunication device with any part of their body. Hands-Free Georgia is all about SAVING LIVES.

Personal Injury FAQs

What is a personal injury case?

A personal injury case refers to a process that permits an individual who suffers physical, emotional or economic harm to seek financial compensation for their injuries or loss, when permitted by law. The injury can be caused by unintentional conduct, which is referred to as "negligence", or intentional conduct. In simple terms, negligence is the failure to exercise a certain degree of care that is required to minimize injury or harm to anyone who is owed such a duty.

Do I need a personal injury attorney for my car accident claim?

If you have been injured in an auto accident in the State of Georgia, all it takes is one misstatement, one missed deadline, or one legal or strategic mistake and your entire car accident claim could be lost or significantly reduced in value. Your finances and your future could be altered in a moment due to simple errors commonly made by those unfamiliar with Georgia personal injury law.

Do I have a case?

We are highly knowledgeable and experienced personal injury attorneys. If you were injured as a result of the negligence of somebody else, it is more likely than not that you will have a case that we can help you pursue. Since 1984, the personal injury lawyers at Montlick & Associates have helped injured people get the compensation they deserve, recovering over a billion dollars in total settlements for our clients throughout Georgia, including Atlanta, Columbus, Macon, Albany, Augusta, and Savannah.

What is my case worth?

First of all, insurance company studies have shown that people who are injured generally recover significantly more money if they are represented by counsel, than if they try to handle their case themselves. That is why insurance adjusters try to convince people not to call a trial lawyer.

If you become a client of Montlick & Associates, we will be very concerned about you personally. It is important to us that you get the medical treatment that you need. Read our “Promise to You” page. One of our biggest responsibilities of course is to do what we are hired for, and that is to help you maximize the value of your claim - which involves, among other things, presenting the facts of your case in a strong and persuasive manner.

There is no magic number or formula as to what a claim is worth that will apply in every situation. Each claim is unique and the actual value of the case depends on many factors. Some of the many factors we consider include length of treatment, personal hardships, pain and suffering, lost wages, the amount of your medical bills and length of treatment. Other factors will include the strength of the evidence and the proof of liability, causation and damages; any unique circumstances of a case such as those that show a conduct is particularly egregious (which could result in additional compensation for punitive damages), the likability of witnesses and the parties to the case if the claim were to go a a jury; the Georgia statutes and caselaw and any government regulations that apply to a particular matter, and the interpretation of the law based on the specific facts of your case. These are only some of the factors involved in arriving at the figure that your claim is actually worth. Our trained attorneys will help you to evaluate your case based on years of experience. Once you are done treating with all of your doctors, your experienced Georgia personal injury attorney will sit down and work with you to arrive at a figure to demand from the insurance company. We will usually demand much more than we think your claim is worth. At Montlick and Associates, we will never settle your claim for any amount that you do not agree to. We will keep you informed of each and every offer every step of the way. Again our job is to maximize the value of your claim.

How long does it take to receive my settlement?

No two cases are exactly alike. An experience personal injury attorney is concerned about your health first. The most important thing is for you to get the medical care you need so that you can hopefully recover from your injuries. Once you are done treating with all of your physicians including any prescribed physical therapy and you are feeling better, your lawyer will request all of your bills and records.

Once all of your bills and records are received, your Montlick & Associates personal injury lawyer will meticulously review all the information in your file including how your life has been altered or changed since the injuries occurred. Then, your experienced lawyer will sit down with you and talk with you about the value of your case. Your lawyer will tell you what he or she thinks your case is worth and send a demand to the insurance company. Your lawyer will make you aware of any offers and give his or her opinion at each juncture about what you should do in response to each particular offer that is made. The average case will settle within three weeks to a few months after the insurance company receives your lawyer's settlement demand, if your case can be settled.

The decision of whether or not to accept a settlement offer is yours to make. About one in 10 cases require litigation. This means that the insurance company draws a line in the sand and decides to fight your case, and/or that the insurance companies' offer is unreasonable/not accepted. Fighting the insurance company for you is what our lawyers are trained to do. Your lawyer may advise you to file suit, but the decision to do so is yours to make. Once suit is filed, a settlement agreement could be made at any time up to and including an actual trial in a court of law. If a trial is ultimately necessary, your case could take up to two years or more to resolve. That is so because it often takes a year or more to schedule a case on a court calendar in the county where the suit is filed. If the value of your case is $15,000 or below in Georgia, your case can be brought in a local magistrate court and a trial in front of a judge but not a jury can often occur within a matter of weeks after the lawsuit is filed. In some instances, an insurance company may decide to appeal a result in a magistrate court to a higher court. If that happens, even a case filed in magistrate court might take two or more years to resolve. If your case is not settled prior to an actual trial in a higher court, a trial in front of a jury may occur. Our experienced Atlanta, Georgia personal injury lawyers at Montlick and Associates are trained to move your case forward at every juncture so that your case can be resolved as quickly and as efficiently as possible.
