A Different Approach to Personal Injury

Setting the standard

Our promise is to operate at all times with honesty, integrity, high moral character and unquestionable ethics. Our team will treat you with kindness and give you the dignity and respect that you deserve.

Working hard for your future

Montlick has recovered billions of dollars for our clients. We believe in taking every step necessary to ensure that our clients and their families get the financial compensation that their cases deserve.

When you or someone in your family suffers injury from a dog bite, it could vary in severity from a bite that barely breaks the skin to a fatal dog mauling. Any type of bite by an animal is cause for concern and should be evaluated by a medical professional immediately. Severe bites, maulings and attacks could mean extremely costly medical care, surgeries, and possibly permanent disfigurement or disability. These costs can overwhelm a family financially.

When a person suffers a dog bite, it is often due to the owner’s failure to secure their dangerous dog or otherwise take reasonable precautions to prevent anyone from getting hurt. Unfortunately for the victim, a stressful battle for financial compensation lies ahead. But you don’t have to fight alone. Montlick takes charge of our clients’ cases and fights fiercely to put the maximum money in their pockets.

Avoid a Costly Mistake

It’s important to remember after an animal attack injury, insurance companies (even your own) are not on your side. They’re motivated by profits. Trying to take on these enormous corporations on your own without a qualified attorney in your corner could be an extremely costly. When you hire Montlick, we’re here to work for you and always have your best interest at heart.

In fact, having a lawyer is so valuable to your ultimate payout that the insurance industry’s own research has shown that a majority of personal injury claim payouts from insurance companies went to victims represented by a lawyer. Personal injury victims with legal representation received, on average, 300% more money than those without lawyers on their side.

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!

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!

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!

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!

Columbus Dog Bite Attorneys

We Know What It Takes to Win®

Available Compensation

Dog bites and other animal attacks can cause serious and permanent injuries, including disfigurement and scars requiring reconstructive surgery, nerve damage, damage to internal organs, fractures and broken bones and even wrongful death.

Our lawyers are committed to pursuing every avenue for financial recovery in your case. This could include money to compensate you for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and more.

Proving the Case

Our dog attack attorneys may use a variety of legal theories to establish the liability of a dog owner that does not take sufficient measures to protect others from his or her dog. Generally, a dog owner may be liable to a dog attack victim based on strict liability, negligence, or violation of a leash law.

Strict Liability: Although strict liability is a basis for imposing legal responsibility for dog bite injuries, the concept of strict liability is somewhat nuanced in this context. While strict liability still means “liability regardless of negligent conduct,” strict liability only applies if a pre-existing knowledge requirement is met (referred to as the “scienter” requirement). A dog owner may be liable for a dog bite attack if the owner knows or should know that a dog has a vicious propensity. This vicious propensity may be manifested not only by bites but also through aggressive conduct by the dog or evidence of the owner’s knowledge, like muzzling the dog or posting “beware of dog” signs. If a dog owner knows or should know of such vicious propensities, then the dog owner may be liable for injuries even if the dog owner is not negligent.

Negligence: When dog owners have no reason to know of prior vicious tendencies by their dog, they may still be liable if they engage in negligent conduct that causes a dog bite victim’s injuries. An example of such negligence (i.e. unreasonably careless behavior) might include leaving one’s gate open so that the dog gets out.

Local Leash Laws: If a dog owner fails to restrain their dog on a leash or fenced in their yard in violation of a leash law, our experienced Columbus dog bite attorneys may be able to employ the doctrine of “negligence per se.” The doctrine of negligence per se essentially means that violation of a statute or ordinance (e.g. leash law) that is intended to protect the public may constitute negligence when the violation results in injury to those it is intended to protect. A leash law in a locality is designed to protect residents from being injured by dogs running at large. This means that a violation of the leash law may constitute the basis for imposing liability on the dog owner.

A Common Occurrence

Approximately 4.5 million people in the U.S. suffer a dog bite annually with almost 800,000 being serious enough that they require medical attention. The risk of being attacked by a dog has increased over 85 percent during a recent fifteen year span. Those who are victims of dog attacks in Columbus and throughout the state tend to be the nation’s most vulnerable with the majority of victims being children under the age of 5 and seniors over the age of 65.

Unfortunately, many of those victims suffer a wide variety of damages and require varying degrees of treatment, whether it be a simple rabies shot or reconstructive surgery. Regardless of what sort of treatment you or your family member require, the experience Columbus dog bite lawyers at Montlick know what it takes to establish liability and recover damages.

If you have been attacked by a dog in Columbus or suffered serious injuries from an animal bite, call 1-404-529-6333 or dial #WIN® (#946) from your mobile phone.
