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!

Paula Molano was my lawyer after getting hurt on the job. During the whole process, Paula kept in contact with me on regular basis. Paula Is very knowledgeable and informed in this area of expertise. Paula cares for the well being for her clients. Paula did an outstanding job with my case, she was easy to work with, I did everything by email or phone calls. And got me what I deserved. If you looking for a good lawyer. That cares about her clients. I highly recommend Paula Malona.Thank you, Paula for everything you had done for me and looking out for my best interest.

Honestly, if I could give more than 5 stars I would. My family and I have been through so much in the last 2 years and Nives Juric and her team have been absolutely amazing! They took so much stress off of me by stepping up and taking care of everything, it has truly been a saving grace! I would highly recommend putting your trust in them to get the job done!

I appreciate the professionalism and diversity of Montlick and associates. Thanks Nick, Jesse and Amber for your kindness and expertise! Don’t ever want to be in another car accident, but if I do, I will be a repeat client.
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.

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.

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
Lisa Cabassa
This is by far the absolute best Law Firm in Atlanta, Georgia. My attorney, Nick Vocino, who’s extremely brilliant, exceptionally professional, knowledgeable, efficient, effective, and prompt has handled two car accident cases for me resulting in very favorable outcomes. Nick Vocino and his staff possess the right combination of skills that you can trust to get the very best results. This firm has earned my most fervent and enthusiastic recommendation.
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
I'd recommend using Montlick and Associates. They are professional and I felt that I was treated fairly after I was assigned a new attorney. Patrick was extremely knowledgeable and clearly explained his plan of action and it he took care of everything.
sandra sowers
Montlick Injury Attorneys (Scott M. Patterson) and Staff (Sarah / Tamia) were very professional, thoughtful, caring, transparent, and work extremely hard to reach the best injury settlement outcome for our case. Thank you!
Earnest
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!
Traci Fields
Mrs. Sara Root and her assistant Chris are the best..Mrs. Root is a very smart attorney she does her research and analyze everything about your case!! I had a spinal injury that resulted to surgery due to being rear ended in a car accident ..They kept me updated through every step..Chris called to check on me often and Mrs. Root made sure i understood everything..Yes i will have back pains in the future but she ensured that i was well compassionated for my life changes due to my injury.. I am so grateful to have had them during my recovery process. Thanks guys!..We met and talk about God m having faith and a connection! I give Montlick a 10 out of 10..I highly recommend them..Thanks to all that participated in making this process smooth and successful!! Awesome Awesome Awesome Team!!
Erica Wright
We would highly recommend Montlick and Associates if you’re injured in an accident. The staff is very professional and kept us up to date as our case progressed. They check on you to make sure you’re ok. They just make the process easy. Thank you for taking care of us!
latrese mikell
When it comes to personal injuries being handled with upmost quality care, professionalism and determination to resolve all legal woes quickly and successfully. I'll be the first in a very long line of satisfied customers to say that Monica Pearson, (one of Atlanta's great Black female broadcast journalists and the first, former WSB-TV evening anchor at Channel 2 Action News) who I truly admire was right on the money (meaning trustworthy) for informing all victims of negligence to seek legal help from a proven law firm such as Montlick & Associates, who I call the best of the best LEGAL STRONG ARMS in the personal injury business!I'm a client of this wonderful establishment who truly took care of all my needs relating to my unfortunate accident, all due to a distracted driver who paid dearly for his poor driving ability.In saying that, I must recognize two important people at the firm. One is legal assistant Amber Starks (a marvelous paralegal) who kept my spirit up while I dealt with my personal recovery. Amber Starks is fantastic person to know, and second is my attorney, the incredible Nick Vocino. I call him a "legal eagle battling ram" for the underdog against vicious insurance companies. He's terrific! Nick "The Battle Ram" Vocino is "no joke" when it comes to him protecting his clients, he's fabulous! And last but also first is the entire staff at Montlick, who made me feel like one of their family members, just splendid! Alright people, I stated I was recognizing two, but I ended up acknowledging four. Monica Pearson, Amber Starks, Nick Vocino and the staff at Montlick; thank you for all that you have done and still do. All of you have earned my respect and deserve a round of applause from your clients. Ladies & gentlemen, I appreciate you for a job well done. Many blessings I send to you.

Georgia Car Accident Attorney Explains:

“How are you today?”

“I’m good, how are you?”

This sounds like a common polite greeting, but when it comes to car accidents, that exchange can get your case into trouble down the road. It can even compromise your financial compensation!

Unfortunately, insurance companies are mostly concerned with their bottom line, and that means using every trick in the book to pay you as little as possible after an accident.

Georgia Montlick attorney Jen explains what you shouldn’t say to an insurance company (even your own!) after an Augusta car accident.

Car Accident Lawyers Near Augusta, Georgia

We Work for You

While you’re busy worrying about all of the personal matters that come with a car wreck, insurance corporations are already trying to build their case against your claim. These companies know how to take advantage of your vulnerable state in order to minimize or totally deny you the money you deserve. While insurers may seem caring and cooperative, their loyalty is always to the company’s bottom line. Ultimately, they want to collect premiums and pay out as little money as possible for a claim.

Insurance companies do not want you to talk to or retain a personal injury lawyer because their own industry research indicates that they generally pay out considerably more money to injured people who have experienced lawyers on their side.

One study administered by the Insurance Research Council (IRC) proved that:

  • 85% of personal injury claim payouts from insurance companies went to personal injury victims represented by legal counsel.
  • Injured people who retained legal representation generally received substantially greater monetary recoveries than unrepresented accident claimants.
  • On average, personal injury victims with attorneys received 300 percent more monetary compensation than individuals who did not retain an attorney.

What is My Augusta Auto Accident Case Worth?

How Montlick Adds Value

On average, personal injury victims with attorneys received 300% more money after an accident than those who did not hire a lawyer.

Get the Money You Deserve

Georgia personal injury law typically allows personal injury victims to recover monetary damages from the individual or company responsible for their injuries when another has been negligent. Negligent parties can include: individuals, companies, public utilities, governmental bodies, public agencies, and other business organizations, either acting alone or in concert with each other.

Our caring and dedicated attorneys pursue all forms of economic damages that our clients are entitled to under the law. The value of a personal injury claim depends on numerous factors, including:

  • the strength of legal liability
  • the facts and circumstances of the incident,
  • the strength of the applicable law and evidence
  • the venue or locality where a claim must be brought
  • the likeability and credibility that witnesses would have to a jury
  • the extent of a client’s injuries
  • the costs of medical treatment- including past and future, impact on the quality of life
  • the extent of pain and suffering
  • whether someone is temporarily or permanently disabled

Some examples of the types of economic damages our personal injury lawyers have recovered on behalf of our Georgia clients are compensation for:

  • Past and future medical bills
  • Past and future lost wages
  • Loss of earning capacity
  • Property damage, including damage to motor vehicles and personal property
  • Pain and suffering
  • Loss of enjoyment of life
  • Punitive damages if the defendant’s conduct is malicious or egregiously reckless
  • Loss of companionship, consortium and guidance
  • Monetary compensation for emotional distress

The amount of compensatory damages an Augusta accident injury victim might recover in the State of Georgia is specific to the unique facts and circumstances of a given case. Every individual accident claim is unique. Predicting the exact dollar amount you and your family could receive from an accident claim is not possible at the beginning stages of your accident claim. However, our lawyers are able to advise our clients on the range of predicted accident injury case values.

Legal Deadlines You Need to Know

Get the Help You Deserve

Free Consultation

According to O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33, the statute of limitations for personal injury cases in Georgia is generally two years from the date of the accident, but there are exceptions that can greatly shorten or even lengthen the deadline. 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.

In Georgia, the statute of limitations or legal time deadline may be extended when a minor is involved. Statutes of limitations also vary from state to state. Our experienced traffic collision attorneys can review the facts and circumstances relevant to your accident injury claim to determine which statute of limitations apply.

In addition to Georgia’s legal deadlines, there are several other critical reasons for not delaying in seeking legal advice and assistance. Many injured people are surprised to find out that many times their own accident insurance policies can contain valuable insurance coverages, such as, Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage or Medical Payments Coverage. It is essential to keep in mind that insurance policies usually have time notification deadlines, which, if allowed to lapse, may result in the loss of valuable benefits and compensation.

Augusta, GA Lawyers Answer Your Car Accident Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What if I’m partially at fault for my accident?
Sometimes, it takes multiple people’s mistakes for an accident to occur. If you are partially at fault for the accident that caused your injuries, Georgia follows a modified comparative negligence rule. GA Code § 51-12-33 states that if the plaintiff is found partially at fault for their injury, their compensation will be reduced by their percentage of fault. For example, if you are awarded $100,000 in damages but are found to be approximately 20% responsible for the accident, you will be awarded $80,000 in the end. If you are found to be 50% or more responsible for the accident, you cannot recover any damages in the state of Georgia.

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.
