I was referred to this office by a friend of mine and I’m so glad I listened. Nick and Jessi were so helpful with my case. My accident had completely changed my life and they fought to get me what I deserve, all while answering my 50 million questions. Thanks so much you guys !
Taylor Z
They were very caring. Very thorough. Prompt at getting in touch or back in touch. Answered every question I had. AND I WON MY CASE! If I ever need another accident lawyer, I will choose Montlick & Associates hands down...immediately!
Nicole Smith-Alley
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 🙏🏽
Aesthetic Enigma
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! Christoper Phillips helped me during my hardest time of my life it’s like he held my hand throughout this whole process he’s best Paralegal in the Game in my opinion! Don’t waste your time call them NOW!!!
Gwendolyn Stone
Nikki and the rest of the staff were incredibly professional and proficient while handling my car accident case! I recommend Montlick and Associates to anyone who has been in car accident because they work very hard to ensure you get what you deserve from the insurance companies..
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!

Slip and Falls

Slip and fall happen in milliseconds but can result in severe injuries that disrupt your life.

At Montlick Injury Attorneys, our experienced slip & fall lawyers can fight for your rights and pursue every penny that you deserve.

Workers’ Compensation Claims

In the unfortunate event of sustaining an injury or developing an illness directly linked to your job, workers’ compensation serves as a crucial safety net. This state-mandated insurance program provides financial assistance to employees who find themselves in such challenging circumstances. To access these benefits, employees are required to file a claim with their employer’s insurance carrier. However, too often employees may receive an unfair offer from the carrier. Montlick’s Decatur workers’ compensation attorneys can fight for what you deserve.

Defective Products and Product Liability

Product liability laws are in place to protect consumers from harm caused by defective products. These laws hold manufacturers and, in certain cases, retailers accountable for ensuring the safety of their products. If a product fails to meet safety standards and causes injury, the injured party may have grounds for a product liability lawsuit. Our product liability lawyers can help you get the money you deserve.

Determining Fault in Decatur, GA Personal Injury Cases

Accidents happen every day, from car wrecks to workplace mistakes, to slip-and-fall cases. When you’ve been involved in an accident in Georgia, you might be entitled to compensation if you were injured or lost a loved one due to someone else’s negligence. In order to prove your case and receive compensation, Decatur personal injury attorneys must prove several facts about your situation:

  • Duty of care: We must establish that the at-fault party owed you a legal duty of care when the accident occurred. This means showing that the out-fault party was obligated to act in a certain way to avoid causing harm to others. For example, drivers have a duty to follow traffic laws to prevent accidents. Businesses have a duty to keep their premises clean and safe for customers.
  • Breach of duty: We must demonstrate that the at-fault party breached this duty of care. This involves proving that they acted (or failed to act) in a way that a reasonable person would not have under similar circumstances. For instance, if a driver runs a red light, they have breached their duty of care.
  • Causation: Even if the at-fault party has neglected some part of their duty of care, they might not be found responsible for your specific injuries or damages. We must establish that your damages would not have happened “but for” the actions of the at-fault party and that those consequences were the foreseeable result of the at-fault party’s actions.
  • Damages: With thorough documentation, we must prove the extent of the damages you have suffered physically, emotionally, and financially from the fallout of the accident. This can include medical bills, damaged property, missed work, and more.

What to Do After You’ve Been Injured in an Accident

Accidents can vary greatly in severity, and it’s important to prioritize your health and safety above all else. The following steps are general guidelines that Decatur personal injury attorneys would suggest to protect your rights and strengthen your potential personal injury claim, but please remember that if your injuries are severe, your immediate focus should be on getting the medical attention you need.

1. Seek Immediate Medical Attention: Your health is the top priority. Even if you don’t think you’re seriously injured, visit a doctor as soon as possible. Some of the most deadly injuries aren’t immediately apparent and can worsen over time. It will also be important to have detailed medical documentation of your injuries to help prove causation in your personal injury case.

2. Document the Scene: If you’re able, take photos or videos of the accident scene, your injuries, and any property damage. This visual evidence might be crucial later on.

3. Gather Contact Information: Obtain the names, phone numbers, and addresses of everyone involved in the accident, including witnesses.

4. Report the Accident: Depending on the type of accident, you might have to report it to the appropriate authorities. For car accidents, call the police and ensure an accident report is filed. GA Code § 40-6-273 requires drivers in Georgia report car accidents that cause injury, death, or approximately $500 or more of property damage. For workplace injuries, notify your employer immediately. If you’re at a place of business, ask to speak to a supervisor to report the incident.

5. Avoid Speaking About Fault: While you’re collecting basic contact and insurance information, be cautious about discussing the accident, especially with the other party or insurance companies. Anything you say might potentially be used against you later. Stick to the facts when reporting the accident and don’t speculate on the “whys” and “what ifs.” Be wary of posting anything about your accident or injury on social media as this can be used as evidence in the future.

6. Keep Records of Everything: Besides acquiring all medical and legal records of the accident, maintain a detailed diary of all medical treatments, expenses, and how the injury has impacted your daily life. This documentation will be important in building your case and helping you prove the true extent of your injuries.

7. Speak With an Attorney Before You Speak With Insurance Companies: Insurance companies – including your own – are primarily focused on minimizing payouts. Without legal guidance, injury victims might inadvertently say something that could be used to reduce or deny their claim. An experienced attorney understands the tactics insurance companies use and can help you navigate the conversation to protect your rights and ensure that you receive fair compensation.

If you were too seriously injured at the scene of your accident to carry out some of these steps, it’s especially vital you speak with a Decatur personal injury lawyer as soon as you can. They will be able to advise you on obtaining records and evidence that exists, and will start investigating your case. Telling the complete story is an important part of getting the personal injury compensation you need to heal.

Types of Damages that Decatur, GA Personal Injury Victims Can Claim

When someone is injured or killed in an accident and another party is found to be at fault, there are many different factors that can be considered in the damages awarded to the injured person or grieving family. These are the three broad categories of damages that Decatur personal injury attorneys might pursue:

1. Economic Damages: These damages compensate the victim for quantifiable financial losses resulting from the injury. This might cover hospital bills, surgeries, medications, rehabilitation, lost wages during recovery, or loss of earning if the injury hinders the victim’s ability to earn in the future.

2. Non-Economic Damages: These damages cover intangible losses that do not have a specific dollar amount but still significantly impact the victim’s life. A victim could claim compensation for pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of companionship from their spouse, or permanent scarring, disfigurement or disability.

3. Punitive Damages: In cases where the defendant’s actions were particularly reckless, intentional, or egregious, the court may award punitive damages. These are meant to punish the defendant and deter similar conduct in the future. In Georgia, punitive damages are capped at $250,000 in most cases, except in cases involving intentional harm or products liability.

If you have suffered a serious personal injury in Decatur or been affected by someone else’s negligence, call 1-404-529-6333 or dial #WIN® (#946) from your mobile phone.
