If you’re looking for an attorney that listens and actually cares I’d recommend this team. I appreciate everything that Paula Molano helped me through during this past year. She is honest and supportive, attributes anyone would want when looking for representation.

Dawn Staine
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

Montlick and Associates are awesome lawyers and staff. I was injured in a car accident several months ago, and I contacted Montlick to handle my case.

Montlick and Associates were very positively instrumental in getting my life back together after a very irresponsible person totalled my brand new car. Talk about satisfaction! Thank you Nick, my lawyer who stood by my side during the entire process. I would recommend them to anybody that needed true professionals to help them out of a car accident nightmare.

Sherry Jones
I was involved in a hit and run accident. I was so worried about the outcome. Montlick attorneys reassured me that I would be taken care of and they did just that. I was updated on my claim and they explained every step of the way. Friends provided their attorneys numbers to me, but I sure am glad I picked Montlick. They were amazing, provided reassurance and delivered excellent service. Attorney Mora and his staff were very professional, courteous and knowledgeable. Thank you !!!

Kerry Wright
I was in an auto accident in December and I contacted Montlick for representation and from day one they made me feel like my case was as important to them as it was to me. Amy and Cate was very polite, professional, well informed and easy to reach. This made me feel very comfortable with this firm. My case manager Amy was awesome, she was always quick to call me back when I needed to speak to her and she called me at least every two weeks to keep me posted on my case even if there wasn’t any developments. My attorney Cate Powell was also great to work with, she too kept me very well informed on my case every step of the way. Up to the very end when we closed my case, they both explained everything very clearly, and made sure that I was comfortable with everything I was signing and made me feel welcome and appreciated. I would highly recommend Montlick Law to anyone with a personal injury. They will take great care of you.

Wireless Caller
Doing a review from friends phone.This is Danijel V.With that out of the way..Nives Juric is simply amazing. After my case was completed I walked her what is the maximum amount of stars I can leave her because being limited to only 5 does not seem to do her any justice.Professional, kind, caring, fast to respond to any questions or concerns one may have is just tip of the iceberg of what kind of service I personally have received from Nives Juric and her team Krystal.The amount of tenacity and effort that went into my case is unparalleled and comparable to none in a good way.Mrs.Juric is a phenomenal human being and a lawyer.Thank you for all the hard work and dedication I sincerely appreciate it.
Igor Shravljevic
The magnitude and depth of gratitude and appreciation for Nick Vocino and his assistant Amber Starks for the extraordinary, remarkable, inspiring, incredible, exceptional and exquisite work that they did for me when I got into a car crash is something I can never forget.I had just started working on my new Home Health Agency when my car was hit. I sustained some serious injuries in my knees, neck and back. That was a big blow to me .Right from the day I called Montlick and Associate and handed over my case to them ; They instantly became my new family: they showed genuine concern for my life; called me frequently to check on me and how my treatment was going.They encouraged me and wished me well when I was going for a surgery as a result of the injury I suffered due to the car crash. They were my fortress and they fought for me. They were timely with every information I needed to know about my case and the speed of communication is beyond imagination.My settlement was a dream come true and it was settled faster than I expected. Don’t even think twice about retaining Montlick and Associates whenever you get involved in any accident.Nick Vocino and Amber Starks are Angels in human form. They are full of compassion, empathy , respect ,resilience and yet they are super talented, professional, knowledgeable and overall astute in their work. I say this in all honesty and seriousness: Montlick and Associates have been a mammoth blessing to my life. May they continue to grow from strength to strength.
Charming Caregivers and Homemakers
Attorney Jason Saltzman and his assistant Kris Brown did an exceptional job working my case. From beginning to end they were very caring about my injuries and concerns. They responded to all my calls, text and emails in a timely fashion and never seem to have an issue with all my questions, and I had many. Because of their obvious honesty, I decided that I could trust them to handle my business and decided to utilize patience. Although there were times that I wondered what was going on, was convinced that they had my best interest in mind. Kris made sure that she requested any and all documents and information they needed and followed up with me if needed. I would recommend this team at Motlick and Associates to anyone who may find themself in a situation like mine and have to endure the pain, suffering and injuries that I endured. At the end of the day I believe they did the best they could on my behalf. Although I am still experiencing the after effects of my surgery. I fell a since of relief from the outcome my team was able to achieve. Thank you Attorney Saltzman and Kris Brown.
Alan Chàvis
I had an overwhelmingly positive experience with Montlick from start to finish. I know for a fact that I would have had so much more pain and stress if it weren't for their handling of my case. Alyssa White and Antonia Morris handled everything with expert care. They were very communicative as well - any time I had a question it was answered immediately. I am so glad I made the right decision to call them when I needed help. I cannot recommend them enough!
Nicole Freeman
Honestly, at the first moment I wasn't going to go with Montlick & Associates, I was with another lawyer that didn't put my needs 1st 😒, I said ha forget that I'm going with Montlick Law Firm and I called and the first thing the Associate said is how you doing 😊 it made me feel so comfortable with them, I didn't have to do anything they handled all the work and made sure they took care of me in the end. I'm happy and will just say that you would be too if you decided to go with Montlick law firm!! #MontlickLawFirm #JusticeServed #ClientLove

Chandra Hambrick
On Oct 30, 2022, I was in a Hit and Run Accident in Lagrange GA. by a non-insured motorist, Not naming the 3 previous law firms that totally almost ruined my chances in getting things doing and helping me through my nightmare. a year head almost went by feeling like i was the perpetrator and not the victim of a hit and run. I never been in any car accident of this multitude. I was so lost, had not guidance of what to do and how to do it right. Never even got to talk to any of the previous attorneys that claim they help people after a car accident. I had sunk into deep depression. As a retired Veteran that suffer from PTSD and Paranoia when i had to drive, I was so scared and afraid to the point I had other drivers around me wondering if i was a safe driver. until one night i was watch TV after praying to God to please send me an Angle to help me that's when Montlick & Associates commercial came on it was. I set up in my bed and knew if I wanted real help and be able to talk with an Attorney on my case and not some injury firm Secretary. I need to call right away cause time head already been wasted, fighting with the last three injury law firms. Mrs. Neives was my Angle along with everyone at Montlick I felt like not only did I have an Attorney but i also had an after Accident Mental Therapist she insured me that she would get everything back on the right track. and rewrite all the wrongs and make them right. not one time did i every had to call for any updates. if there was anything she needed answers to I was contact by her or someone on her team by email or phone call. the Only thing i regrate is not calling Monlick & Associates when the Hit and Run first Accrued from the Hospital. my story goes out to everyone who may find themselves in the same situation. Yes, there is a lot of an injury law firms out there but I will bet my bottom dollar that you will not talk to nor know who your attorney is and be kept updated about your cause if you're not a client of Montlick & Associates. I thank my Heavenly Father for everyone at Montlick & Associates
Anita Erickson

Caring, professional and thorough. They go above and beyond to make sure your well being is taken care of first. Both Douglas and Gia are a team that cannot be matched by any other firm. They call you within the first week to let you know they take their job very serious without any form of arrogance. Thank you for representing me and my child! I'm a client for life!
Tonya Newberry
Again, they did it again.. my lawyer and her associate are the best. I would recommend Montlick and Associates to EVERYONE who needs a law firm that cares!! I am so grateful for them God blessed me with am amazing duo!!
Daniels Ireti
After a terrible accident, we turned to Ellen Forrester at Montlick for help with my mom's case. She walked us through everything step by step, handled the documentation and when it came time, her colleague, Mike Moran, and her represented my mom amazingly at mediation. While we are very happy with the settlement reached, this process was so much easier with their care and guidance. We will forever recommend them and Montlick to anyone.
Alex McGee
Sincerity speaks volumes to me and I can not say enough about the service and the genuine care that Montlick provided for my case. The entire process was smooth and went very well in my favor. I totally felt a sense of compassion from my attorney and his staff ... they really cared and had me in mind the entire time. I highly recommend this firm ... they are the best!

Athens Car Accident Lawyers

We Protect You From Powerful Insurance Companies

Although not every Athens car accident entitles an injury victim to financial compensation from another party, the actions that you take immediately following a collision may increase the probability that you can successfully seek damages.

An injury victim who seeks immediate medical treatment may make it easier to prove the nature and extent of one’s injuries because there may be objective scans like x-rays, CT-scans, MRIs and other diagnostic evidence. An Athens auto accident victim can also strengthen a motor vehicle accident claim by seeking prompt legal advice. Insurance adjusters are skilled at negotiating motor vehicle accident claims and may lure unsuspecting accident victims into damaging their claim. Some of the tactics used by insurance adjusters may include:

  • Requesting a signed release to obtain confidential records like employment and medical records
  • Arranging a recorded statement that may be used to develop inconsistencies that compromise your claim
  • Asking you to affirm facts that might minimize the seriousness of the accident or your injuries
  • Seeking an executed general release of liability even for claims that you are not aware exist
  • Attempting to settle the claim for far below its actual value

Collecting Compensation

Right From the Start

From your first free call, our lawyers are here to advise you on all your legal options after a car accident injury.

Get Started for FREE

Serious Athens car accidents can create significant life disruptions. Our law firm provides effective legal representation for many types of physical and psychological injuries. Some of the types of injuries that we may be able to seek compensation for include:

  • Injuries to the head like traumatic brain injuries
  • Injuries to the spinal cord that may cause partial or total paralysis
  • Severe burns including third-degree burns (i.e. complete thickness burns)
  • Severe fractures and broken bones
  • Amputations
  • Whiplash injuries affecting the neck, back and shoulder
  • Wrongful death
  • Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)

When you lose someone you love in an Athens car accident or suffer life-altering injuries, our Athens car accident attorneys seek the compensation our clients need to deal with the financial crisis that many car accident victims face in the form of medical expenses and disability from employment.

We routinely seek both special and general damages for our Athens auto accident clients. Special damages refer to damages that are essentially economic damages like medical expenses, lost income, vehicle damage and lost future earning capacity. General damages refer to more abstract damages like compensation for pain and suffering and diminished enjoyment of life. While there are other types of damages that may be available to an Athens car accident victim, the specific damages available in your personal injury claim depends on the specific facts and circumstances of your claim.

Importance of Establishing Negligence

To successfully pursue a personal injury claim for injuries or the loss of a loved one in an Athens car accident, a plaintiff (the injured party) in an Athens car accident case must establish that the other driver was negligent, that the negligence of the driver caused the plaintiff’s injuries and that the victim suffered injuries and/or property losses (i.e. damages). Negligent conduct in the context of an Athens car accident essentially means unsafe driving practices.

A plaintiff in an Athens car accident claim must establish it is more likely than not that the unsafe driving practice caused the collision and resulting injuries or fatalities. Where the conduct of the defendant in an Athens car accident case is particularly reckless, the judge or jury may even award punitive damages, which often exceeds the cumulative sum of all other types of damages.

The Money You Need

We’ve been putting money in the pockets of injured people since 1984. See what we can do for you.
Start Here

Our Athens car accident law firm is not a “general practice firm.” We stick to one area of practice–personal injury– to ensure that our attorneys hone their expertise in that area and perform at their very best. Much like you wouldn’t want an eye doctor to perform kidney surgery even though they are both technically doctors, we believe that focusing our practice only on personal injury allows us to provide excellent service to our clients. We have the experience and knowledge to successfully represent clients injured by many types of car accidents including:

  • Drivers distracted by electronic devices, grooming, eating, drinking, reading or reaching for an object
  • Drivers impaired by narcotics, over-the-counter medications and prescription drugs
  • Accidents caused by violation of basic traffic safety laws
  • Motorists who do not drive safely in adverse weather conditions
  • Forms of aggressive driving such as speeding and weaving in and out of traffic, street racing or tailgating
  • Failure by government entities to repair road hazards or safely design roadways
  • Automakers that produce defective automobiles
  • Alcohol-impaired drivers
  • Inexperienced teen drivers

These factors and other similar accident risk factors can cause many types of collisions and create the risk of life-altering injuries. The cause of the accident and type of vehicles involved can impact the evidence that is relevant and the severity of the injuries in a collision. Our Athens car accident attorneys represent clients in all types of motor vehicle collision cases including but not limited to the following:

  • High impact head-on collisions
  • Vehicles that run off the road
  • Intersection T-bone crashes
  • Vehicles that are sideswiped
  • Accidents involving pedestrians
  • Car-bicycle accidents
  • Accidents involving privately and publicly operated buses
  • 15-Passenger van or SUV rollovers
  • Rental car accidents
  • Chain reaction pileups
  • Accidents involving public transportation and taxis
  • Motorcycle crashes
  • and more

Providing a Personalized Legal Help

Our experienced Athens car accident lawyers offer the experience, expertise and resources often associated with large law firms, but we deliver this with the compassion, personalized service and prompt communication of a small law firm. We have represented thousands of personal injury clients and know that a critical part of our job is not only to maximize your money, but also to minimize your stress while you heal.  To us, you will always be a person, not just a case number.

State bar associations throughout the country report the number one complaint by clients is that their attorneys do not promptly return calls or provide reasonable communication regarding the progress of their case. We pride ourselves on our frequent and meaningful communication with clients.

Dangers of Distracted Driving

While many people assume that car accidents are reasonably rare and only happen to other drivers, over 1.5 million people are injured in car accidents annually with another 32,000 dying in tragic collisions throughout the U.S. Many of these accidents are easily preventable because they are caused by negligent or reckless conduct, as a cursory examination of national car accident fatality statistics makes apparent:

  • Drunk driving accounts for over 10,200 motor vehicle fatalities
  • Almost 3,100 car accident deaths are caused by distracted driving
  • More than half of all fatal car accidents involve vehicle occupants not wearing a seat belt
  • The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports 75 percent of drivers admit to answering cell phones while driving without regard to traffic circumstances

These facts make clear that if all drivers exercised reasonable care when driving, many unnecessary injuries and wrongful deaths could be avoided. Athens car accidents may be caused by a vast multitude of causes including drug and alcohol impaired drivers, cell phone use for texting and talking while driving and violations of traffic laws pertaining to speeding, following distance, right of way, traffic control signals and other driving safety laws. Although the majority of Athens car accidents are caused by unsafe driving, some collisions are caused by vehicles with product defects or dangerous roads.

 

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers After a Car Accident

What if I’m partially at fault for my accident?
Georgia follows a modified comparative negligence rule, meaning, generally, if the plaintiff is found partially at fault for their injury, their compensation will be reduced by their percentage of fault.

What Should I Do After a Car Accident in Fort Lauderdale?
First and foremost, check yourself and others for injuries. Call emergency services immediately if there are any signs of trauma or discomfort. If you can, move to a safer location and call law enforcement. Once medical services arrive, seek their attention and follow up with your primary care doctor. Finally, contact a car accident attorney in Fort Lauderdale from Montlick and report to your insurance agency.
Read more about this FAQ
How Much Is My Case Worth?
While every case is complex and compensation is based on many factors, the most important is generally the severity and long-term impact of a victim’s physical injuries. Minor injuries will generally pay less compared to injuries that cause a short-term disability or permanent. If your injury is catastrophic or will cause long-term problems, then the settlement will be more significant, however, this is also determined by the amount of insurance available and/or defendant assets.
