We Take Your Claim Personally

A pedestrian accident injury can turn your life upside down in moments—physically, mentally, and financially. Since pedestrians who are struck by motor vehicles have virtually no protection, their injuries are often more severe than those suffered in vehicle-to-vehicle accidents. That means that even more so than other types of crashes, pedestrian accidents in Columbus often lead to life-changing injuries. When you’re in pain and looking toward an uncertain future, you don’t have to do it alone.

Columbus Pedestrian Accident Injury & Wrongful Death Lawyers

Pedestrians Are at a Disadvantage From the Start. We Can Help.

Pedestrians tend to start off their cases in a tough spot. Due to the serious nature of injuries that are usually involved in a pedestrian accident, the victim might be taken off the scene for immediate medical attention, and therefore the responding officer might only have the drivers’ side of the story in the police report.

At-fault drivers in pedestrian accidents typically blame the victims for causing the accident in order to avoid liability and any corresponding criminal charges. This could include saying the victim darted into the street, did not use proper crosswalks, and more.

In some cases the responding officer might even cite the injured pedestrian for a violation. Even if you were cited for not walking in a crosswalk, you could still have a case. Contact us today to find out.

Insurance companies will often initially attempt to speak with victims in an effort to obtain information to deny or minimize their claims. Our attorneys protect our clients from such insurance traps and pitfalls.

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
Montlick and associates helped me through the most challenging times of my life dealing with work injuries and car accident recovery. I would choose this team to continue to represent me over and over again! One of The best decision I made was calling Montlick and Associates!

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.

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!

Columbus Pedestrian Injury & Wrongful Death Lawyers

Here’s What You Need to Know About Pedestrian Injury Claims

The Clock Is Ticking

Statutes of limitations determine the amount of time, starting from the date of the accident, in which a victim or the family of the victim may bring a personal injury or wrongful death case, whichever applies. The amount of time a person has to resolve or file a lawsuit for a personal injury claim varies from state to state, and there are exceptions that can shorten or even lengthen the deadlines. It is critical to speak with a personal injury attorney as soon as possible to find out if you have a viable case.

Certain types of pedestrian accident claims against state or federal government entities can have much shorter deadlines. In some pedestrian accident cases, there could be a combination of different types of injury claims that may involve different time frames, multiple defendants, and/or the laws of more than one jurisdiction. Also, in some states, the statute of limitations could be extended when the personal injury case involves a minor child.

How Your Own Insurance Could Help

In some cases, the victims’ own auto insurance policies could provide additional sources of compensation. Policy add-ons such as uninsured/underinsured motorist as well as Medical Payments (MedPay) and/or Personal Injury Protection (PIP) can provide additional coverage in the case of pedestrian accident injuries.

Our attorneys work to identify all viable avenues of recovery, and in the past, we have been successful in discovering additional defendants and insurance policies that our clients were not aware of, or that other insurance companies did not disclose. We have 40 years of experience maximizing the money in our clients’ pockets.

Common Injuries from a Hit-By-Car Accident

The extensive injuries that are typical in pedestrian accidents can impose extreme financial challenges on an injury victim and the victim’s family. Many victims in Columbus pedestrian accidents must undergo treatment for months, making them unable to work during the duration and it’s not uncommon for victims to suffer at least partial permanent disability. While we know that we cannot eliminate the physical pain you may endure, we can help you obtain the resources necessary to protect your quality of life and take care of your family. We provide compassionate and effective legal representation for those who suffer all forms of Columbus pedestrian accident injuries including:

  • Head injuries like traumatic brain injuries
  • Paralysis of the extremities from spinal cord damage
  • Burns including full thickness burns
  • Fractures or broken bones including those requiring surgery
  • Damage to knees and other joints
  • Amputation of limbs
  • Fatalities

Severe injuries like these can mean overwhelming medical bills which can force a family to the brink of bankruptcy. Our experienced Columbus pedestrian accident attorneys understand the tactics and strategies used by insurance companies to reduce or avoid liability for pedestrian accident claims. We draw on 40 years of experience when negotiating the resolution of Columbus pedestrian accident claims, and we know what it takes to win.®

Pedestrian Accident Stats

With the Chattahoochee River running through town and an abundance of outdoor activities, Columbus is a lovely place to explore. Walking along the riverwalk or exploring the urban areas of town is a commonplace activity locals and tourists often partake in. However, the danger of being hit by a car while strolling through Columbus is always present with distracted, drunk, and reckless drivers on the roads.

Columbus pedestrian accidents can be caused by many kinds of unsafe driving. Nationally, there are 59,000 accidents and 4,000 fatalities that happen every year from hit-by-car pedestrian accidents.

Distracted drivers who are on their phones, applying make-up, or eating, drunk drivers who are under the influence of alcohol and drugs, and reckless drivers who are driving over the speed limit or driving while drowsy. Unsafe driving in school zones or construction zones are also a factor in pedestrian accidents.

When Montlick takes on pedestrian accident cases, we will fight fiercely to get you the compensation you deserve to move forward.
