Thank you to Jeff and Chris for taking care of my dad's case so well, and thank you to Faris for bringing us to Montlick and helping with everything along the way! We really do appreciate you guys so much.
My attorney Paula Molano and her assistant have been very informative and professional. Paula always has the boxing gloves on: looking for the knockout. I appreciate what they're doing for me during this difficult time. Thank you.

I “Will” Refer my family and friends to Montlick and Associates anytime anywhere.Thank you guys for your support.I Promise I will not go nowhere else
When I was involved in a Automobile accident, my wife said you have to called Montlick & Associates. That was the best called I have ever made. Attorney Jason took my case and he did an exceptional Job from start to finish. He kept me informed throughout the process. Thanks Montlick & Associates for providing excellent service.
I had the pleasure of working with Attorney Scott Patterson who truly went above and beyond for my case. He's so amazing! His expertise and dedication were evident throughout the process, and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. Thanks to the hard work and patience put into my case. I received a fantastic and fair settlement that exceeded my expectations. Furthermore, his assistant, Sarah Duncan, played an integral role in the success of my case. Her professionalism and support were outstanding. She consistently demonstrated a genuine concern for my needs and was always there to provide assistance whenever I needed it.Overall, I am incredibly grateful for the outstanding service provided by Attorney Scott Patterson and team. I wholeheartedly recommend Montlick & Associates law firm to anyone in need of legal representation. Thank you so much!
Michael Moran and his team took good care of me. They kept me in the loop of everything that was going on. All I did was do what they wanted me to do and kept them updated. I’m very satisfied with the outcome of my settlement. Thanks.
From day one to the end, I was kept informed about the status of my case. They answered all my questions I had and never made me feel that I was bothering them. I am very satisfied with the end result of my case and will recommend them to others. Thank you Attorney Jennifer and your Assistant Rachel for making me feel right at home as a part of the family. The Lord bless you both and your families in Jesus name Amen.
Mike Moran was very open and frank about how presented the case to me and his suggestion were on point. Thank you
On November 30, 2022 I experienced the worst injury that I have ever experienced at fault not my own, while on a quick out of town trip. Not only was I severely burned at an establishment, but I was denied representation by several firms where my incident happened. Unbeknownst to me just because an incident happens in a certain state doesn't mean you have to obtain representation there, which is how I had a turn around in defeat. Not only did Montlick & Associates instantly take my case, Ellen Forrester provided candor from the start on the pros, cons, and how she could deliver her services with the goal of fighting for me as her client being one that was truly heartfelt. From constant check ins from Dayna Clark (Ellen's Senior Legal Assistant), to pertinent information delivered directly from Ellen, I felt the utmost service with care was provided. Ellen was diligent in getting the best results no matter the fight. In the end I had a successful outcome and hopefully raised enough awareness for an incident this traumatic not to happen to anyone else. I Thank Ellen & Dayna for all their hard work and would recommend more stars if I could based on their client care alone.
This is an amazing company! I couldn’t have chose a better attorney for this car accident.Thankyou Kaylee Wiley & Nives Juric ❤️

They handled all my medical needs AND Made sure that i lacked for nothing. They constantly stayed in contact with me via phone call ,email, mail to make sure all my needs were met.They treated me more than just family and i was not just another case to them I was and still am like family.

I'm a first time patron of Montlick and Associates and didn't really know what the process would be. Thankfully, my case was appointed to Mr. Liu and I knew from the initial conversation that I would be in good hands. Every question I had was answered and every worry was quickly swept away. Thank you, Mr. Liu!
Thank you Jason and Kalana for working on my son's case. No one else would take this case because it was so difficult and you guys worked hard on making sure that he got his settlement. I wish I could give you guys a hundred Stars because that's how amazing you are thanks again.

It took on awhile to settle but they got the job done. Thank you again
I am so happy with the results that Jason got for my case. All other practices wouldn't take my case but not Jason. He knew I had a bad fall and injury. He and Esmerelda worked so hard and informed me of every detail immediately. I highly recommend their services. If I ever need an accident attorney, I will not hesitate to call Jason. Thank you and I hope you enjoyed the goodies I baked for you. I will forever be grateful for the settlement you got for me.
Excellent as always. This is the second case that has been worked out for me. Ellen Forrester and Dayna Clark have always gone above and beyond. Thank you so much.

Wrongful Death Lawyers Serving Atlanta

Maximum Compensation. Maximum Care.

In addition to the emotional turmoil caused by the wrongful death of a loved one, family members often contend with financial difficulties due to high medical costs, funeral and burial expenses, and/or lost income or support from the deceased. This can add another layer of stress and hardship for those affected by a wrongful death. For 39 years Montlick has been putting money in our clients’ pockets—where it belongs.

Our approach to our cases is different than most big firms. We value personalized service. That means to us, you’re never just a case number. When you hire us, you’ll get to know your attorney and legal team right from the start, and you’ll never be left in the dark about your case.

Atlanta Wrongful Death Claims

Battling Big Insurance

Protect Your Rights

Montlick attorneys work for you. We will handle all aspects of your claim and ensure that your legal rights are protected at every turn.
Contact Us

To the insurance companies fighting hard to minimize your payout, you’re just a claim number. Our job is to make the insurance companies understand the true value of your loss, not base your compensation on the insurance company’s cold, impersonal calculations. We will do what it takes to investigate all potential avenues of recovery, hire experts when needed, and assemble and present evidence in the most persuasive way, and work hard to get you the most money possible.

What type of damages are recoverable?

The types of damages recovered can vary from state-to-state as well. For example, the types of damages or combination of damages some states allow for wrongful death claimants include the full economic and non-economic value of the life of the victim, loss of companionship, value of support and services, and/or punitive damages, to name a few. Families may also be entitled to burial and funeral expenses, medical expenses incurred, and payment for the pain and suffering endured by the deceased victim.

Who Can Bring a Wrongful Death Claim?

Let Montlick Fight for You

No matter where you are located our attorneys are just a phone call away, and we will even come to you. Call us 24 hours a day/7 days a week for your Free Consultation at 1-800-LAW-NEED (1-800-529-6333)

The laws that determine who can actually bring a wrongful death claim are complicated and can be confusing if you’ve never been down this road before. Depending on your relationship to your lost loved one, various state laws, and other unique facts and circumstances of your case, you may or may not have the right to bring a wrongful death claim. The easiest way to find out if you’re entitled to bring a claim is by calling Montlick. An attorney (not a paralegal or legal assistant—a qualified attorney) will walk you through your legal options and advise you on the next steps to take to protect your rights.

Legal Time Deadlines Vary

Legal time deadlines can vary greatly based on the specifics of each case. That’s why contacting a Montlick attorney as soon as possible for a free consultation is always the right choice.
Act Now
Why You Need to Act Now

All types of legal claims are subject to “statutes of limitations” or legal time deadlines. Failing to comply with a statute of limitations could mean that you will lose all ability and rights to financial compensation.

Every state has laws that limit the amount of time families have to file or settle wrongful death claims. Statutes of limitations in wrongful death cases normally begin running on the date of the incident that caused the victim’s death, but the amount of time a person has to file the claim varies significantly depending on the relevant state, and there are exceptions that can shorten or lengthen such deadlines. In some cases, a combination of different types of legal claims may exist that involve different time frames, which may be due to multiple defendants and/or even the laws of more than one jurisdiction.

We advise clients to take action as soon as possible when they learn they might have a legal cause of action. Some states have shorter statutes of limitations on wrongful death cases than on other personal injury cases, so it is even more important to act quickly. In auto accident cases, many insurance policies owned by the victim or the victim’s family also have timely notification requirements, meaning if a claim is not filed in time or appropriate notice is not given, the family of the decedent can lose valuable insurance money.

We want you to have the strongest case possible, and that could mean we need to preserve evidence or talk to witnesses as soon as possible. Waiting too long to contact us could mean that important evidence necessary for your case disappears or is destroyed; or and witnesses go missing or forget what happened. We throughly investigate our clients’ cases, and these factors are often extremely important elements in that investigation.

Wrongful death cases can be the result of many situations in which negligent, reckless or intentional conduct by an individual or company leads to a fatality. Wrongful death cases can arise from car or truck crashes, medical malpractice, workplace accidents, products liability claims, premises liability claims and more.

Generally, wrongful death lawsuits have potentially enormous monetary value, and require thorough investigation by an experienced attorney. Financial compensation could be achieved through more than one avenue, such as multiple defendants, multiple insurance policies, and more. Our lawyers know how to properly investigate a wrongful death case so that grieving families get the money they deserve.
