Insurance companies increase their profits by minimizing payouts. With a team of lawyers that know every loophole there is, they’re impossible to take on alone. Montlick knows how to take on the big insurance companies–and win.

People who own apartment buildings, stores, and other public properties must ensure their visitors leave the premises safe from harm.

Your medical bills are piling up, and your emotional and physical pain leaves you unsure when you’ll be able to return to life as you knew it. Fortunately, there’s a way to move forward. During life’s most trying times, Montlick puts you first.

Montlick has been handling premises liability claims in Atlanta, Georgia for decades. In our tenure, we’ve learned how quickly evidence disappears–and the steps you need to take to protect it.

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 !

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 🙏🏽

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

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!

WATCH NOW: WHAT IS A SLIP AND FALL?

Slip and fall injury lawsuits and cases go under a more general legal umbrella called “premises liability.” This practice area encompasses all kinds of accidents where a person is injured on someone else’s property. This can be in the form of a slip, trip or fall, or it could apply to other situations like negligent security.

Common locations for slip and fall accidents include grocery stores or supermarkets, restaurants, hotels and other establishments, or even a friend or family member’s private home.

Settlements for slip and fall injuries in Atlanta can vary depending on the severity of the injury.

Slip and fall injuries can be extremely serious. An Atlanta slip and fall lawyer can help you get the compensation you need after an injury.

Slip Trip and Fall Injury Attorneys in Atlanta

It’s More Than a Slip-and-Fall Case. It’s Your Life.

One second, you’re going about your daily routine, strolling through a parking lot, apartment building, or grocery store. A millisecond later, you’re on the floor suffering from extreme pain, shock, and confusion. Questions run through your mind: What happened? How will this impact my life? Do I have to go to the hospital? Can I afford medical care?

We all know that embarrassing feeling of falling or tripping over our feet. Most of the time, a trip or slip is a minor event that leads to a skinned knee or some bruises–nothing too serious. It’s easy to forget that everyday slips and falls lead to severe injuries in the United States. In fact, over one million hospital visits result from slip and fall injuries annually. Sometimes a slip and fall is a freak accident with no obvious instigator. However, when a slip and fall happens due to a hazardous condition on someone’s property, the injured can take legal action to recover compensation.

Who Is Liable: Understanding Duty of Care Owed By Property Owners

Premises liability law imposes varying degrees of responsibility on property owners to make their property safe or warn of hazards on the property based on a number of factors, including the relationship between the parties, the visitor’s purpose, the type of hazard and other factors.

In some situations, the property owner has an obligation to conduct reasonable inspections of the property in other situations no such obligation applies. The issues involved in slip and fall cases require intensive factual analysis so it is important to work with an experienced Atlanta slip and fall attorney. Montlick’s Atlanta slip and fall attorneys have been representing those injured in falls throughout Georgia since we were founded in 1984. An important inquiry in determining the amount of care owed by an Atlanta property owner involves a determination of the purpose for one’s visit to the property of another.

Invitee: When a customer enters a store or restaurant, the law classifies them as an invitee, which means essentially that they are present for the mutual benefit of both the business and the patron. This characterization means that a business owner has an obligation to keep the premises reasonably safe from dangerous conditions including a foreign substance like spilled food, detergent, soda, water or a flaw in the flooring like a cracked tile. Invitees may include members of public service organizations attending meetings, contractors doing work on the premises, customers seeking to purchase products and services or other similar mutually beneficial relationships. Invitees are entitled to the highest standard of protection under the law. This duty includes conducting reasonable inspections and maintenance to discover and make safe hazards on the premises.

Licensee: A licensee is essentially a social guest, such as a friend who visits a neighbor. A door-to-door solicitor would also typically be considered a licensee. Property owners owe an intermediate duty of care to protect licensees who come on their property not to expose them wantonly and recklessly to non-obvious perils.

Trespassers/Attractive Nuisance: Those who enter your property for their own purpose and without express or implied permission generally are owed the lowest duty of care. A property owner only has an obligation not to wantonly and recklessly injure a trespasser. This essentially means that you have a legal obligation not to set traps designed to injure trespassers. There is one significant exception to the general rule that property owners do not owe a significant duty of care to trespassers, which applies to children who trespass. The attractive nuisance doctrine imposes a duty on property owners similar to that owed to invitees to protect children from artificial (man-made) hazards that are likely to attract child trespassers. The rationale behind this exception is that children may lack the experience and judgment to fully appreciate the risk posed by certain types of hazards. The classic example of an attractive nuisance is a swimming pool.

Evidence is Essential for Slip & Fall Injury Claims

Insurance companies for grocery stores and other businesses often defend slip and fall cases by claiming that the accident victim is responsible for his/her own injuries. The open and obvious doctrine is a defense used in many slip and fall cases, which essentially provides that when a visitor is on the property of another the visitor has an obligation to avoid hazards that are readily apparent. If you are shopping in Costco and a large pallet of merchandise is in the middle of the aisle, the insurance company will argue that the hazard was so obvious you had an obligation to avoid tripping over it.

Successful slip and fall cases require a careful analysis of the factual circumstance of a fall. Our experienced Atlanta slip and fall attorneys at Montlick may analyze the following types of evidence:

  • Store accident report
  • Video surveillance footage
  • Warnings or barriers
  • Visual inspection of the accident location
  • Witness reports regarding the incident and duration that hazard was present
  • Adequacy of lighting
  • Past reports of accidents from the same hazard

The Fall Was Partially My Fault. Can I Still Recover Compensation?

Slip and fall cases can be complex. Maybe a slippery floor was the primary cause of the accident, but you were rushing and running and that was why you did not notice the state of the floor. Even further, your speed contributed to the severity of your injuries.
Fortunately, in Georgia, if you were part of the cause of your own injuries, you can still recover compensation as long as a court finds you to be less than 50% at fault. This is because Georgia practices a modified form of what is called “comparative negligence.” Under the modified comparative negligence doctrine, an injured person who is 20% responsible for his or her injuries can still collect 80% of the damages. In a claim worth $100,000, this would mean you could collect $80,000 from the property owner. However, if you are 50% or more liable for your own injury, you cannot collect anything under Georgia law.

If you have been injured in a slip and fall accident in Atlanta or are suffering from premises liability injuries, call (800) 529-6333 or dial #WIN® (#946) from your mobile phone.
