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

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 🙏🏽

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!
Sandy Mueller
Montlick and associates helped me through the most challenging times of my life dealing with work injuries and car accident recovery. I would choose this team to continue to represent me over and over again! One of The best decision I made was calling Montlick and Associates! Christoper Phillips helped me during my hardest time of my life it’s like he held my hand throughout this whole process he’s best Paralegal in the Game in my opinion! Don’t waste your time call them NOW!!!

Nikki and the rest of the staff were incredibly professional and proficient while handling my car accident case! I recommend Montlick and Associates to anyone who has been in car accident because they work very hard to ensure you get what you deserve from the insurance companies..
Hater Proof
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. Mrs. Sarah Neeland, my attorney,and Mr. Mario Gomez worked with me diligently until my case was settled. I was always given updates on my case status. I highly recommend this law firm if you want caring and very professional service.
Celia Adams
Nick and Montlick and associates were great. They walked me through each step of the case and were very informative with every question I asked. Hopefully I’m never in an accident where I get hurt, but if I am, I will definitely be in contact with Montlick and Associates!
Donavan Logan
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.
I feel so thankful to have found these lawyers. They made the entire process very easy and made sure my husband and I were taken care of after a car accident. I highly recommend!

Car Wreck Injury Lawyers Serving Athens, GA

Collecting Compensation

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.

We Know Car Accidents

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.

Read more about this FAQ
What if I carry some of the blame for my car accident in Georgia?
If you are somewhat responsible for a car accident, but not more so than the other driver(s), you might still be able to recover damages for your injuries in Georgia. GA Code § 51-12-33 applies the comparative negligence principle to accident injury claims.
Read more about this FAQ
How long do I have to file an injury claim after a car accident in Georgia?
Generally, the statute of limitations window for car accident injury and wrongful death cases is two years. If you file a claim after these two years are up, it’s extremely unlikely you’ll be able to recover any damages, even if you’ve been severely injured. It can take a thorough Decatur car accident attorney several months to put together a strong case. Gathering evidence, and waiting on insurance companies and the legal system takes time. To preserve evidence and give yourself the best chance at getting the compensation you are truly owed, it pays to contact a car accident attorney right away.
Read more about this FAQ
What is the Average Car Accident Settlement Amount?
