The Top Four Reasons Why People Select Montlick & Associates:
“The Powerhouse Firm that Puts You First!”™
- Our attorneys and team of legal support staff work tirelessly to maximize the monetary value of each of our clients’ cases under Georgia’s applicable law.Initially following any accident precipitated by someone else’s negligence, you likely do not know the full extent and nature of your injuries. Insurance companies know this and commonly attempt to offer financial compensation early, before you speak with an attorney and learn your legal rights. In fact, insurance company representatives may pressure personal injury claimants to accept a quick, “low-ball” offer to settle their claims. Once your accident case is settled, your case cannot be reopened, even if you find out later that you need extended medical care, or that your injuries are more serious than you initially thought. Our attorneys know the values of our clients claims, and work hard to maximize the compensation to which they are entitled to by Georgia law.*
- Montlick & Associates is a client-driven firm. Since 1984 we have been dedicated to our goal of providing exceptional service to each and every client. We stay in touch with our clients on a regular basis, promptly return phone calls, and keep them fully informed of all-important developments.
- Our law practice is limited to personal injury law. We believe that our lawyers can do the finest job possible by focusing and limiting their practice to one area of the law. We only represent injured people, never insurance companies or corporations.
- Our Experience Pays!™ Our law firm has been assisting injured people and their families in recovering the monetary compensation their case deserves for over 39years, and our firm has recovered billions of dollars for our clients.

Why Retaining an Attorney Can Makes a Difference to Personal Injury Victims:
Personal injury and accident victims and their loved ones are often at a significant disadvantage after being involved in a motor vehicle accident caused by a negligent driver. The first several days following an auto accident are overwhelming. You have numerous important issues to cope with, including getting compensated for the damage to your vehicle, obtaining a rental, disabling injuries, lost income and pain and suffering. Families are typically overwhelmed with accident-related expenses, medical bills and other expenses that must be paid, while injured family members despair over when they will return to work.
Insurance company representatives and their claims adjusters know how to take advantage of a victim’s lack of experience and knowledge of the accident claims process. Their goal, as for-profit organizations, is to collect premiums while denying and minimizing claims. In fact, claims adjusters employ tactics in order to do so. For example, they commonly attempt to conduct recorded interviews of motor vehicle accident victims in an attempt to record any remarks or statement that they may use against them. This strategy is especially affective when the injured victim is unrepresented. A traffic accident claimant that gives a statement to an insurance adjuster, can inadvertently make comments that are taken out of context. In fact, insurance companies don´t want you to consult with or retain an attorney, because their own industry research indicates that they generally pay out considerably more money to claimants who have retained legal representation (see more on this below).
One study performed by the Insurance Research Council (IRC) illustrated that
- 85% of personal injury claim payouts from insurance companies went to personal injury victims represented by legal counsel.
- Injured individuals who retained legal representation generally received substantially greater financial recoveries than unrepresented parties. On average, personal injury victims with lawyers received 300 percent more financial compensation than those who did not retain legal representation.
For these reasons alone, having legal representation in your Albany auto accident case by an experienced personal injury lawyer can be a critical step to improving your prospects of success and obtaining the monetary compensation you deserve.
How Our Personal Injury Lawyers Can Help Georgia Accident Victims
We Get to Work Fast! At the beginning of legal representation our legal team immediately begin taking the necessary steps required to protect our clients’ rights. We want our clients to focus on getting well while we handle the nuances of the claims process.
Overcoming Insurance Company Traps: Insurance company claims adjusters and representatives may seem cooperative and caring; however, their primary objective is to preserve the financial interests of the insurance company’s policyholders and to increase their profits for their shareholders. This means the insurance company’s financial interests are in direct conflict with your financial interests and claim value.
Insurance companies handle an enormous amount of traffic accident claims each year. They have implemented effective strategies and techniques to reduce, delay or even deny claims payouts. Sadly, many individuals who speak directly with the at-fault party’s insurance company after a motor vehicle accident unwittingly compromise their claims’ monetary value.
Not being trained and educated as a personal injury attorney, it is understandable that most people are unaware of their valuable legal rights and the actions they must take to protect those legal rights. Another common error made by traffic accident victims is resolving their claims prior to realizing the full extent of their accident-related injuries. Due to the unique nuances of Georgia law, people may also mistakenly commit other tactical errors. Our experienced personal injury attorneys negotiate against the other party’s insurance company and navigate all of the insurance company mine traps set for our clients.
Assessing the Value of Your Accident Injury Claim: Evaluation of a personal injury claim involves not only the calculation of medical bills, lost wages, and vehicle repair costs, but also difficult-to-value intangible damages such as pain and suffering, diminished earning capacity, mental anguish, and punitive damages (when applicable). Our lawyers know how to value our clients’ claims and, when appropriate, also conduct research into verdicts and settlements involving similar types of cases in comparable jurisdictions in order to quantify a range of case value.
Navigating Legal Complexities: While most traffic accident cases settle out of court, when litigation is required, plaintiffs (the injured party) need a mastery of the rules of civil procedure, evidentiary rules, court rules, case law, and applicable Georgia statutes. Our attorneys are trained, educated and experienced with the nuances of the law and how to navigate the complex personal injury claims process. We fight hard to obtain all of the financial compensation our clients’ cases deserve!
Legal Time Deadlines: Act Now to Preserve Your Right to Recover Maximum Compensation
All types of legal claims are subject to “statutes of limitations” or legal time deadlines.
WARNING: Failing to comply with a statute of limitations will permanently bar your right to a recovery.
According to O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33, the statute of limitations for personal injury cases in Georgia is generally 2 years from the date of the accident, but there are exceptions that can greatly shorten or even lengthen the deadline! For example, claims against the government have shorter deadlines. Moreover, in some cases, a combination of different types of legal claims may exist that involve different time frames, which may be due to multiple defendants and/or even the laws of more than one jurisdiction. That statute of limitations or legal time deadline may also be extended when a minor is involved. Statutes of limitations also vary from state to state.
Our experienced motor vehicle accident attorneys can examine the facts and circumstances relevant to your case to determine which statute of limitations (deadlines) apply.
In addition to Georgia’s legal time deadlines, there are several other critical reasons for not delaying in seeking legal advice and assistance. Many injured people are surprised to learn that their own insurance policies (or depending on the facts sometimes those of a resident relative) can contain valuable insurance coverage, such as, by way of example only, Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage or Medical Payments Coverage (an optional no-fault type of insurance that covers medical expenses). It is critical to keep in mind that insurance policies typically have timely notification deadlines, which, if allowed to lapse, can result in the loss of valuable compensation and benefits.
There is more! In addition to notice requirements and legal time deadlines, there are other reasons to act without delay. By way of example only, with the passage of time witnesses can become difficult to locate, or they can forget important details. Other times, important evidence can be destroyed or disappear. We take the required actions to preserve all important legal deadlines on behalf of our clients, and make sure that all important evidence is preserved when appropriate.

What is My Georgia Auto Accident Case Worth?
Georgia car accident law generally allows accident injury victims to recover financial damages from the individual or company responsible for their injuries when someone has been careless. Negligent parties can include: individuals, companies, public utilities, governmental bodies, public agencies, and other business organizations, either acting in concert with each other or alone.
Our compassionate attorneys pursue all forms of monetary damages that our clients are entitled to receive according to Georgia law. The value of a personal injury claim depends on numerous factors, including, by way of example:
- the strength of legal liability
- the facts and circumstances of the incident
- the strength of the applicable law and evidence
- the venue or locality where a claim must be brought
- the likeability and credibility that witnesses would have to a jury
- the extent of a client’s injuries
- the costs of medical treatment- including past and future, impact on the quality of life
- the extent of pain and suffering
- whether someone is temporarily or permanently disabled
Some examples of the types of damages our personal injury lawyers have recovered on behalf of our Georgia clients are compensation for:
- Past and future medical bills
- Past and future lost wages
- Loss of earning capacity
- Property damage, including damage to motor vehicles and personal property
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Punitive Damages if the defendant’s conduct rises to the level of gross negligence
- Loss of companionship, consortium and guidance
The amount of compensation an accident injury victim recovers in the State of Georgia is specific to the facts of a given case and the circumstances of the accident. As such, every accident claim is unique. Predicting the precise dollar amount you and your family will recover from an auto accident claim is not possible at the beginning of your accident case. However, our lawyers are able to advise our clients on the range of predicted accident injury case values, once all of the evidence has been assembled, we understand the extent and long-term effects of the injury or injuries, we have reviewed all medical expenses and records, and have evaluated the applicable Georgia law and the strength of the evidence.
Our traffic collision injury and wrongful death attorneys fight hard on behalf of each individual client to maximize the value of their claims under Georgia law.

Our Promise to You
1. Treat your case as if it were our own. We'll treat you the same way we would want to be treated – as if it were our own case, or the case of a close friend or family member.
2. Protect you from powerful insurance companies. One of the first things the insurance adjuster will typically say is that you do not need an attorney. That's because the insurance company's goal is to pay you as little money as possible. And they know that injured people get substantially more money with an attorney representing them. With over 39years of experience dealing with insurance companies, we can help you navigate through the insurance company minefields and avoid any traps.
3. Analyze your case at no charge to you. We'll evaluate your situation and advise you how to best protect your rights, at no charge to you. We invite you to call us 24 hours a day, including weekends and holidays to request a free consultation with one of our experienced personal injury lawyers. Or use our 24/7 online chat right here on our website.
4. Vigorously fight on your behalf in order to obtain all the compensation and benefits you deserve. There's always a lot at stake after a serious injury, and when our clients rely on us for help, we never take that situation lightly. We work extremely hard, treat our client’s cases as if they were our own, and we will always do the right thing when it comes to our clients.
5. Give your case our personal attention. We tell our clients: "We want you to concentrate on getting well. We want to hear from you if you have any questions or concerns. We work for you, not the other way around."
6. Promptly return phone calls and keep you informed. We are sure you've heard about professionals who do not return phone calls. Or, perhaps you have spoken to people using other law firms who never knew what was going on with their case. That won't happen with us. We keep our clients well informed of important developments and routinely send copies of correspondence regarding their case.
7. Be there for you when you need us most. When our clients first call us after a serious injury, they're understandably really worried. And we say to them, "You don't have to do this alone." We'll take on the insurance company for you and help you get the money you deserve for your medical treatments, lost wages, car repairs and pain and suffering. That's the kind of help we've been giving for over 39years.
8. Always treat you with dignity and respect. Our promise is to operate at all times with honesty, integrity, high moral character and unquestionable ethics. And we'll treat you with kindness and give you and your family the dignity and respect that you deserve.
