Do you have a case?

We have tirelessly represented people injured or killed by the negligence of others for more than 40 years. Comprehensive legal representation is a right owed to everyone. That's why we provide our services on a contingency fee basis. You don’t pay until we win.
Why Choose Montlick?

Acting With Integrity

Even with 40 years of growth, our founding goals remain the same: Montlick attorneys will always empower and improve our community while operating in a manner that allows every client to know and trust their legal team. That’s the Montlick way.

Fighting With Ferocity

We take on insurance companies and work tirelessly to recover the money you need for your medical treatments, lost earnings, and pain and suffering. We never represent big corporations and we never forget who we’re fighting for: you. That’s the kind of legal help we have provided for decades.

Every time you get behind the wheel, you’re taking on risk. While you might be a responsible driver, others sharing the road with you might not be, and someone’s negligence can change your life in a split second. Montlick car accident injury attorneys know how devastating an accident can be, and are passionate about helping you in this difficult time.

During the chaotic aftermath of an accident, you might find yourself fielding mysterious calls or texts from people claiming to get you an easy $25,000 payout. If you’ve found these solicitations suspicious, you have good reason. Although it is illegal, many shoddy lawyers look to take advantage of confusion and fear by paying other people to get them new accident victim’s contact information. These people could be totally unaffiliated with a law practice. Common “case runners” include hospital intake employees, 911 operators or tow truck drivers who often work closely with accident victims. They’re also known as “runners.” A trustworthy lawyer will never solicit you out of the blue, and certainly not through illegal kickbacks.

A successful personal injury case won’t erase a traumatic accident, but a settlement can help minimize its financial impact. This is not a process to be undertaken with unreliable, dishonest representation. Montlick is a name you know, and a reputation you can trust.

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.
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!

The Advocate You Need to Win
We take on the opposition and work aggressively and passionately to recover the compensation you need for your medical treatments, lost earnings, and pain and suffering. We’ve been providing this service to our clients for decades–let us help you next.

The Empathy You Deserve
Few things are more challenging than trusting someone else with your injury case. Montlick legal teams communicate compassionately, frequently, and transparently. With us, your phone calls and questions don’t go unanswered.

We Are In Your Corner When:

  • You’re unable to work
  • Your injuries are keeping you from daily tasks
  • You’re unsure of where to turn
  • Your insurance company is offering a lowball settlement

Don’t Let Important Evidence Slip Away

If you’ve just experienced a car accident, your first priorities are your health and safety. Always get the medical care you need right away.

Your injuries and damage might seem easy to prove, but the difference between winning and losing your car accident case is proving that another party is directly responsible for those injuries. This is why the sooner you contact a car accident lawyer for professional guidance, the better. As soon as you contact us, Montlick Injury Attorneys can take charge of investigating and collecting the evidence your case needs to win. .

Here are steps Montlick car accident attorneys will take after a collision in Jonesboro:

  • Gathering visual evidence: Photos taken as soon as possible after an accident can be instrumental in helping tell the story of what happened. Montlick investigators will even come to the scene of your accident when needed to document damage to your vehicle as well as surrounding visible evidence like skid marks or a bent guardrail.
  • Collecting eyewitness accounts: Montlick attorneys will help to investigate your accident by speaking to witnesses. Even if you were too injured in the wake of the collision to take down witnesses’ contact information, our attorneys can help track them down and ask them key questions about what they recall.
  • Handling the insurance company: Insurance companies do not prioritize justice; they prioritize their own profits. Experienced car accident attorneys at Montlick can handle those difficult conversations for you, helping to maximize the compensation you will receive.
  • Safekeeping medical records: As you and your family face the tough road of recovery following an injury, it can be hard to keep track of all of your medical records as they pile up while your focus is on the here-and-now of healing. Montlick Injury Attorneys will preserve this important paper trail for you, establishing an airtight timeline of the accidents’ effects.

You don’t have to go through this alone. Car accident attorneys with Montlick have seen it all, and we’re dedicated not only to helping you win fair compensation, but to doing so efficiently and compassionately.

What Types of Recovery Can Car Accident Victims in Clayton County Receive?

In Georgia, victims of negligence in a car accident (and in some cases, family members of victims) can generally seek compensation for some or all of the following types of damages:

  • Economic Damages This is compensation for costs directly related to your injury. Victims can potentially receive compensation for:
    • Medical treatments
    • Appointments and hospital stays
    • Prescriptions
    • Co-Pays
    • Lost wages and benefits from missing work
    • Inability to pay for living expenses
  • Non-Economic Damages Victims can also seek compensation for losses that are hard to quantify. It’s important that victims have a skilled injury attorney who can effectively communicate their emotional narrative to receive the following types of compensation:
    • Pain and suffering
    • Emotional distress
    • Loss of enjoyment of life
  • Punitive Damages If a driver who is found to be at-fault for an accident acted recklessly or with gross negligence, Georgia will sometimes allow victims to sue for additional punitive damages.
  • Wrongful Death Damages If a victim was killed due to the negligence or recklessness of another party, their family may be able to seek wrongful death damages. This money can help cover the costs associated with the victim’s death, such as funeral costs and other expenses
  • Loss of Consortium Claims If a car accident victim’s spouse is unable to provide love and companionship due to debilitating injury or death, the spouse may be able to make a claim for loss of consortium against the at-fault party.

Receiving compensation if you’re partly at fault for a car accident in Jonesboro

Car accidents are often the result of several people making mistakes, and in some circumstances in Georgia, you can still receive compensation for damages while sharing some of the blame for an accident.

An insurance company might contend that you are also at fault for the accident in an effort to lower your settlement. Under Georgia’s modified comparative fault law, you can still receive compensation based on what percentage of the accident is found to be your fault. If you are less than 50% responsible, you could be eligible for discounted damages in proportion to your responsibility.

For example, if Wendy is speeding when John blows through a red light and hits her, a court might find that some of the damage in the accident was exacerbated by Wendy’s speeding, even if John running the red light was the inciting problem. Wendy could be found to be responsible for 10% of the damage. Therefore, if Wendy was seeking $30,000 in damages from John, she could receive 90% of the damages, or $27,000.

The court will decide these fault percentages based on various pieces of evidence, but a large factor will be the police report. When you are speaking to police after the accident, try to stay as clear-headed as possible and double-check that the info they are getting is accurate. But don’t worry, our investigators and attorneys may be able to prove your case regardless of the police report.

Statute of limitations for Jonesboro car accident injuries

When you want justice for a car accident, time is of the essence for multiple reasons. First, it’s best to start collecting evidence for your case before records are lost or muddled. Second, there is generally a statute of limitations of two years in Georgia for injury-related cases in the civil court system. This two-year window begins from the date of the car accident that resulted in your injury. There are many factors that can shorten or even extend this legal deadline, and it’s also important to consider all policy and notification deadlines as well. Your Montlick attorney handles all of these competing deadlines for clients to ensure that you are set up for success and there is no money left on the table.

Will a Car Accident Attorney Still Benefit Me If I Don’t Want To Go To Court?

Montlick Injury Attorneys’ goal is to help you recover the compensation you need as you heal from the devastating effects of a car accident, and we will negotiate with insurance companies in this process. One survey conducted by Nolo showed that 67% of respondents received an out-of-court settlement in their personal injury case. 91% of the survey respondents who received an award or settlement did so with the help of a personal injury lawyer. Only 51% of respondents who did not have legal representation received an award or settlement. In most cases, a personal injury lawyer will dramatically add value to the amount of money you receive.

Someone injured in a car accident in Georgia can generally pursue one or more of these options when seeking damages:

  1. Filing a claim with your own insurance company, who will then seek compensation from the company that insures the at-fault driver
  2. Pursuing a claim with the other driver’s insurance directly
  3. Filing a personal injury lawsuit against the at-fault party in court

How a car accident attorney can help in the insurance settlement process

In cases with minimal property damage and minor injuries, negotiating with an insurance company might initially seem fairly straightforward. However, you are most likely to get what you deserve if you negotiate with the help of a Jonesboro car accident attorney. Montlick Injury Attorneys can help you with the following steps:

  1. Starting your claim as soon as possible: Because of the two-year statute of limitations of personal injury in Georgia, you’ll want to get started on your claims process right away. It’s likely an insurance payout will not offer you as much compensation you are entitled to, so you want to keep your options open to go to court.
  2. Compiling records to back up your claim: We’ll help you ensure you have the documents you need to strengthen your story, such as a police report, photographs, car repair bills and medical records.
  3. Calculating a fair settlement: With our years of experience working with car accident victims, we’ve learned the ins and outs of accident damages in Georgia. We can help you ask for a reasonable settlement based on the hard reality of what you’ve gone through.
  4. Sending a detailed demand letter: It’s important that all of your communication with an insurance company is in writing. A car accident attorney can craft a succinct but detailed letter explaining why you believe the settlement you’re asking for is fair.
  5. Getting a counter-offer: Never take the first offer from an insurance company. Remember that they have no incentive to go above the bare minimum they believe they can justify. Having Montlick Injury Attorneys at your side when an insurance company gives you an offer means you’ll be better informed about whether their offer is fair, and if not, how to ask for it to be changed.

Dangerous Roads in Jonesboro, GA

Though Jonesboro itself might be small, its proximity to Atlanta and its hectic highways means the roads can be deadlier than you might expect for such a cozy community. A recent analysis of two years of Georgia accident data determined that 427 fatal crashes occurred on just 57 stretches of the state’s road road totaling 277 miles.

One of those deadly stretches is in Jonesboro, starting at mile marker 15 on Tara Boulevard. Accident data shows that since 2018, an average of about 11 people are involved in a fatal car accident in Jonesboro each year. You might not think the unimaginable could happen to you or your family, but Georgia’s grim accident data proves catastrophe can happen to anyone, anytime.

Safety Tips for Expressway Driving in Georgia

Heed the following advice to stay as safe as possible on Jonesboro’s roads:

  1. Be alert and utilize your rearview and side mirrors frequently so you always know generally where other vehicles are around you.
  2. Stay out of others’ blind spots. If you’re hanging out next to another car, either pull ahead or fall back.
  3. Use your turn signal when changing lanes.
  4. Allow lots of room when passing another vehicle. Do not pull in front of another car or truck until you can clearly see it in your rear view mirror.
  5. Follow the speed limit.
  6. Do not stop on the shoulder unless it is an emergency. When you stop, turn on your hazard lights to alert other drivers to your presence.
  7. Don’t drive if you’re tired. Highways are some of the most dangerous places to drive when you are in an impaired state because their simple, repetitive scenery can lull you into a false sense of security and calm.
