Workers’ Comp Lawyers Serving Albany, Georgia

Claiming Your Benefits

Workers’ compensation is a mandatory insurance program in Georgia, providing payment for medical expenses and lost wages, as well as any temporary or permanent disabilities a worker has incurred when they’ve been injured on the job.

Contact Us

Eligibility for workers comp involves:

  • Being an employee of a company that has workers’ comp insurance
  • Having suffered an injury that occurred at work or as a result of job-related duties

In many cases you can still receive benefits, even if you were at fault, as workers’ compensation is a no-fault system.

I had a great experience working with Attorney Nives Juric after being involved in a car accident. From the beginning, she made me feel at ease during a stressful time. She took the time to thoroughly explain my options, answered all my questions, and was always available to provide updates on my case. I am thankful she handled all the details throughout the process, allowing me to focus on healing. She and her team secured a very favorable settlement. I would definitely recommend Attorney Nives Juric if you're looking for a knowledgeable, dedicated, and trustworthy attorney.

I was involved in a serious car accident last summer and turned to Montlick for help. I was assigned Attorney Sarah Neeland, and she and her team were absolutely amazing throughout the entire process. They were always available to answer any questions I had and made sure I fully understood each step along the way. Their support and professionalism made a challenging time much easier to navigate. I highly recommend Montlick if you’re going through a tough situation and need expert assistance with an injury case!
Montenay Thomas
Responsive and professional! I had the pleasure of working with Naneen and Alex. They both did exactly what they said and when they said in a timely fashion.

Naneen always has a smile in her voice and is just wonderful! Alex chooses an aggressive approach in an effort to maximize your money. He is also fighter and definitely works hard to get you the settlement you deserve.

They both keep you in the loop at all times. My accident was horrible. They acknowledged this by treating me with the utmost care and concern.

I hope I will not have another work related accident. But if I do, I'll definitely call upon Montlick to assist!

Large lawfirm with a small lawfirm feel!
ERIKA WINSTON
I absolutely LOVE Jennifer Fleming and Lamar Bridges at Montlick & Associates! I was involved in 2 accidents within a week apart from each other and she handled both cases. Anytime I had questions, Ms Fleming or Mr. Bridges responded quickly with clear answers. My first case was settled in perfect timing.

I was referred to this office by a friend of mine and I’m so glad I listened. Nick and Jessi were so helpful with my case. My accident had completely changed my life and they fought to get me what I deserve, all while answering my 50 million questions. Thanks so much you guys !
Taylor Z
They were very caring. Very thorough. Prompt at getting in touch or back in touch. Answered every question I had. AND I WON MY CASE! If I ever need another accident lawyer, I will choose Montlick & Associates hands down...immediately!
Nicole Smith-Alley
So I was struck by a vehicle on August 2, 2023 and it changed my life. I lost a lot and barely made it through. If it weren’t for Ms. Sarah Root I wouldn’t have been able to bear the situation at all. Ms. Sarah alongside Mr. Christopher G were the best to me. I would never want to go to another firm after this pleasurable experience. Thank you 🙏🏽
Aesthetic Enigma
I've had to use Montlick and Associates twice now, and each time I have been met with professionalism, empathy, and a hardworking team! Attorney Mike Moran does everything he can to maximize the amount of your settlement and leaves no stones unturned. His paralegal, Laura, is who I spoke to almost every week for over a year, and she is a gem! She was very helpful in making sure I was keeping track of all of the medical expenses I incurred, along with any symptoms from my accidents. She's professional, yet takes the right amount of time to address all of my questions, and she just really shows the kind of attitude it takes to deal with someone who is frustrated and in pain. Hopefully, you'll never need an accident attorney, but if you do, choose Montlick and ask for Mike Moran and Laura Gonzalez!
Dedra Jensen
Cate Powell and her team took excellent care of me during the duration of my accident lawsuit. She kept me up to date with the other insurance parties and I couldn’t be more satisfied with this service.
Miljae Jackson
I had the pleasure of working with the incredible Attorney Mumpower after a serious car accident, and she made the entire process so much easier than I ever expected. From start to finish, she was extremely professional, thorough, and supportive. She, along with Jaron, were both pleasant to work with and walked me through every step of the process. Thanks to their hard work and dedication, I received the settlement I deserved. I’m truly grateful for their expertise and would highly recommend them to anyone in need of legal assistance!
Jennifer Hammond
Someone pulled out in front of me in may of this year totaling my car and deploying my airbags , This is my first time ever being in a situation like this I was scared & overwhelmed I didn’t even know where to start Sara Root and her legal assistant Christopher Gladys went above and beyond to make things understandable and easy they send u to the best specialist and they take care of you as well , they go ABOVE AND BEYOND TO GET YOU THE MOST OF YOUR CASE THAT THEY CAN !!! They will never not fight for you and they always keep you updated as they go, hopefully I’ll never have to go through this again but if I ever do I would not hesitate to use them again and I will always refer them to anyone looking for an accident attorney!
Athens Edwards
I was in a not at fault, roll over accident in December of last year. I felt early on that their Insurance company was not going to be cooperative in settling this claim fairly. I contacted Alyssa and that very day put her on retainer. She and her team immediately began handling the case and within the week their insurance company representative completely changed their tone and started giving me a fair shake. The case settled and I am very satisfied with its outcome. I paid for a car policy for 30 years and never had a claim and when I needed them, they wanted to play games. All I wanted was a fair treatment. Alyssa and her team made sure that happened! Alyssa, thank you so much for your help.
Paul Cox
In March I was in an car accident with my infant son. I immediately reached out to Montlick and Associates. Attorney Nives Juric was the attorney I had the pleasure of working with. She was kind, listened to my concerns, and how I felt after the accident. She frequently checked on me and kept me updated/informed during the entire process/negotioation period. Her and her assistant Krystal make an excellent team. Krystal updated me, questioned me about all the ins and outs of the accident, checked on my son, and also kept me informed. They got me in contact with their preferred doctors to get me looked at and for me to receive physical therapy.
Almost exactly 7 months after the accident I received my settlement check. I am quite happy with the amount that I received.
I would definitely recommend Attorney Nives Juric. She got me what I deserved, and even more!
Jordan Feaster
My attorney (Nives R. Juric) and her assistant (Krystal Rivers) were very professional, attentive and did their due diligence to see that this case was done correctly.

I was involved in a hit and run accident that could have gone nowhere. However, between the police and Nives - this fellow was located after he left the scene and found to be at fault.

I can truly say that if I tried to solve this case on my own, the case would have gone nowhere but it was Nives and Krystal that did all the work and kept on pushing for a resolution. Can’t thank them enough!

Albany, Georgia Workers’ Comp Claims Lawyers

Above and Beyond Workers’ Comp

The workers’ compensation system generally provides an exclusive remedy for employees against their employers and co-workers, meaning an injured employee cannot ordinarily file a personal injury action against their employer, even if the employer was at-fault for the accident. However, there are exceptions to this rule.

In Georgia, workers injured on the job due to the negligence of a third party other than their employer can normally pursue a personal injury claim against the at-fault party in addition to obtaining workers’ compensation benefits. Third parties can include:

  • At-fault parties that contributed to the accident other than your employer
  • The makers of a defective piece of equipment
  • Negligent property owners, and more

Our attorneys will examine all avenues of compensation when determining your legal options. In personal injury cases, we pursue compensation on behalf of our clients, including:

  • Compensation for medical expenses
  • Lost wages
  • Pain and Suffering
  • Punitive damages, when applicable
If you have been injured on the job in Albany or are struggling with a work-related disability, call 1-404-529-6333 or dial #WIN® (#946) from your mobile phone.

 

We don’t get paid until you do. Call today for a free consultation and we’ll tell you how we can help.
