We Fight to Put More Money in Your Pocket.
Do I Have a Case?
When accidents are caused by negligence, the injured victim can sometimes hold the person or company who caused the injury financially responsible. Some of the most common cases that result in personal injury and related claims include car wrecks, commercial truck crashes, slips trips and falls, workplace accidents, construction site injuries, medical malpractice and more.
We know it can be confusing to determine whether or not you have a viable case. That’s why we provide a completely free, no-obligation consultation with a Montlick attorney. We can review your situation, provide you with an individualized assessment of your legal rights, and give you advice on what actions are necessary to protect those rights—all at no cost to you.
What is my personal injury case worth?
Each claim is unique, and the value of your case depends upon many factors. Evaluating your injuries is generally the first step in determining case value. This number will vary from case to case, depending on the total amount of your medical bills, lost wages, length of treatment, as well as pain and suffering. Also taken into consideration is the strength of liability, whether the defendant’s conduct can be considered grossly negligent (which may entitle you to additional money in the form of punitive damages), the location of the accident, and the specific laws that apply to your situation. Every case we take on, we take personally. Our talented legal teams have won billions of dollars for our clients when they needed it most.
How long do I have after my accident to bring my personal injury claim?
Under Georgia law, as a general rule, you have two years from the date of an automobile accident or other type of incident to pursue a personal injury lawsuit. However, like everything, there are exceptions that can shorten or lengthen the timeframe.
Insurance policies usually have their own complex notification deadlines. Additionally, remember that laws and legal time deadlines can vary from state to state. Ultimately, the longer you wait, the more difficult it can be to establish your claim with sufficient evidence.
That is why it is so important to call Montlick for a free consultation as soon as possible. If you’re unsure whether you have a viable case, call today and a Montlick attorney will walk you through your options.
What if I was partially at fault for the accident?
Even if you were cited by law enforcement or believe you were partly at fault for the accident, you may still be able to recover compensation. Georgia follows the doctrine of modified comparative negligence, allowing plaintiffs that are less than 50% at-fault to bring an action against the negligent person or party. If you are partially at fault for your accident, your recovery can be reduced by your percentage of fault. A Montlick attorney can, depending on the circumstances, examine and preserve the evidence of what happened, locate and interview eyewitnesses, reconstruct the accident scene, obtain police reports, in some cases find additional parties at fault, and take other actions in an effort to prove that the negligent party was more liable than the insurance company is arguing.
Frequently Asked Questions
Your Personal Injury Questions Answered
Settlements can deliver faster, more predictable results with fewer costs and less stress, and that can be a benefit that matters when you’re trying to heal after an accident. Still, settling only makes sense when the number is fair. With the right preparation and advocacy, you can either resolve your case on strong terms or file suit to pursue a more fair result.
After an accident, it’s natural to wonder: “Do I really need a lawyer, or can I handle this myself?”
At first glance, managing your own personal injury claim might seem simple. The insurance company seems friendly, the forms look straightforward, and settling quickly feels tempting. But the truth is, the personal injury process is a complex maze of laws, deadlines, and tactics that can cost you thousands if you don’t have expert representation.
In Georgia, when a person or company causes the death of another person, either through negligence or intentionally, the victim’s family may be able to file a wrongful death claim. This can allow families to receive compensation for the full value of the life of their loved one, including the economic value (like the income and services the person would have provided) and the non-economic value (like the joy, love, and companionship they brought to their family).
One of the most common questions we hear from accident victims is: “When should I hire an attorney?”
The short answer: as soon as possible.
Delays can cost you valuable evidence, weaken your negotiating power, and even put your right to compensation at risk. Acting quickly ensures that an experienced attorney can preserve evidence, communicate with insurers on your behalf, and prevent mistakes that could hurt your case.
