Catastrophic Injury in Columbus

The Cost of a Catastrophic Injury

The precise cost of a severe injury varies from individual to individual, however a the following are a few possible needs that could arise for the victim and their family after a catastrophic injury:

Accessible Housing: Many catastrophic injury victims find that their current home will no longer meet their needs when they return from the hospital. They may require accommodations like an accessible bath/shower, ramps, chair lifts, elevators, and more. The injured person may require moving to a new home altogether.

Mobility Devices: Wheelchairs, scooters and other mobility devices come at an enormous cost.

Pain Management: The injured person might require ongoing care for pain management, including medications, additional surgeries, specialist appointments, ongoing physical therapy and more.

Long-Term Care: In many cases, the injured person might require long-term, 24/7 care from a trained medical professional, whether in their home or in a medical facility.

Your Montlick attorney assesses the injuries and medical needs of you or your loved one and works with experts to determine the total amount of money necessary to provide you financial support for past and future medical expenses.

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.

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!

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!

Catastrophic Injuries: Severe and Complex

Defining “Catastrophic”

A catastrophic injury is one caused by sudden trauma that substantially results in severe disability and physical limitation. Examples of catastrophic injuries include:

Traumatic brain injury (TBI), coma, multiple broken bones or compound fractures, spinal cord injuries resulting in paralysis (temporary or permanent), limb amputation, internal organ damage, loss of vision, hearing, or other sensory loss and more.

Causes

Any violent trauma can cause a catastrophic injury. Catastrophic injuries can result from high-speed or violent vehicle crashes, pedestrian accidents, bicycle accidents, defective products, slips/trips and falls, falls from heights while at work, or medical malpractice, to name a few examples.

Extended Recovery Times Means Extensive Medical Bills

The massive trauma that causes a catastrophic injury often results in near-death for the victim. Therefore, the primary responsibility of first responders and emergency room physicians is to perform life-saving functions and, in many cases, surgery. Medical personnel will turn their attention to the victim’s recovery after they stabilized the victim and immediate death is no longer a critical threat.

Catastrophic injuries generally require an extended recovery and rehabilitation period, especially if surgical procedures are involved. Many people are hospitalized for weeks or months after they emerge from intensive care and most who suffer a catastrophic injury are admitted to long-term care facilities, such as nursing homes or rehabilitation hospitals. The care at these medical facilities focuses on helping the victim build up strength and adapt to their injury, as in the case of an amputation or paralysis. Sometimes, the victim is comatose, and the victim’s family helplessly waits, hoping that the victim will regain consciousness. Some victims might experience long-term reduced cognitive or physical functioning.

Families also need to deal with the financial reality of the situation and try to heal emotionally as they grapple with an extremely difficult situation.

The Money You Need

In Georgia, victims of another’s negligence can collect economic (monetary) damages, including past and future medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, costs associated with medical treatment, such as expenses for medical equipment, transportation to doctors’ visits, construction or reconfiguration of the victim’s home, lost wages, loss of future economic opportunity, and more.

The victim can also normally recover general damages, including pain and suffering. Punitive damages are also a possibility if the defendant’s conduct rose to the level of gross negligence.

The exact amount of compensation you receive will depend on the unique facts and circumstances of your case, but rest assured that Montlick has 40 years of experience pursuing every avenue to get you the maximum amount of money possible. Find out today what your case is worth.

If you have suffered a catastrophic injury in Columbus or been affected by a life-altering accident, call 1-404-529-6333 or dial #WIN® (#946) from your mobile phone.

Frequently Asked Questions

Get Answers When You Need Them

Do I really need a lawyer in a spinal cord injury case?
These cases tend to see higher amounts of compensation. As a result, insurance companies will fight tooth and nail to deny just compensation. Taking on these well-resourced behemoths alone is unmanageable. Thankfully, representation can put insurance companies on the back foot.
Read more about this FAQ
Another lawyer told me I don’t have a case. What should I do?
We always recommend that if a lawyer rejects your personal injurycase, that you should seek a second opinion about your claim from a trusted personal injury lawyer.
Read more about this FAQ
Why are strangers contacting me after my accident?
Case soliciting goes by many names, however, whether you refer to it as barratry, ambulance chasing, capping, steering, or case running–this act is illegal and a sign of an unethical lawyer.

How do you prove a TBI claim?
Our personal injury attorneys may use a variety of tactics to demonstrate the significance of your injury, including medical records, accident reconstruction, and expert witnesses.
