Atlanta Nursing Home Victims

It Happens More Than You Think.

Common forms of nursing home abuse include:

Physical abuse refers to illness, pain, injury, functional impairment, distress, or death as a result of the intentional use of physical force and includes acts such as hitting, kicking, pushing, slapping, and burning. According to a study conducted by the World Health Organization (WHO), two out of three nursing home staff have reported neglecting/abusing a resident.

Sexual abuse involves forced or unwanted sexual interaction of any kind. This may include unwanted sexual contact or penetration or non-contact acts such as sexual harassment.

Financial abuse is the illegal, unauthorized, or improper use of a resident’s money, benefits, belongings, property, or assets for the benefit of someone other than the resident. A whopping $2.6 billion each year is lost due to financial abuse and makes up 13% of nursing home abuse instances.

Emotional abuse encompasses both verbal and nonverbal behaviors that inflict anguish, mental pain, fear, or distress on a resident. For example humiliation, disrespect, threats, harassment, and geographic or interpersonal isolation. According to a study completed by the National Center on Elder Abuse, psychological and emotional abuse equates to 1/3 of all nursing home abuse cases.

General Neglect is a failure to meet a resident’s basic needs such as water, food, shelter, clothing, hygiene, and essential medical care.

I reached out to Montlick about 30 days after my accident because I didn't feel like I was being heard and the injury was a little more invasive than I initially thought. The minute surgery came into play, I knew I needed assistance. Sarah Root tookmy call and her and Christopher Gladys walked me through each step. I just wish I had called then sooner.

I had a great experience working with Attorney Nives Juric after being involved in a car accident. From the beginning, she made me feel at ease during a stressful time. She took the time to thoroughly explain my options, answered all my questions, and was always available to provide updates on my case. I am thankful she handled all the details throughout the process, allowing me to focus on healing. She and her team secured a very favorable settlement. I would definitely recommend Attorney Nives Juric if you're looking for a knowledgeable, dedicated, and trustworthy attorney.

I was involved in a serious car accident last summer and turned to Montlick for help. I was assigned Attorney Sarah Neeland, and she and her team were absolutely amazing throughout the entire process. They were always available to answer any questions I had and made sure I fully understood each step along the way. Their support and professionalism made a challenging time much easier to navigate. I highly recommend Montlick if you’re going through a tough situation and need expert assistance with an injury case!

Responsive and professional! I had the pleasure of working with Naneen and Alex. They both did exactly what they said and when they said in a timely fashion.

Naneen always has a smile in her voice and is just wonderful! Alex chooses an aggressive approach in an effort to maximize your money. He is also fighter and definitely works hard to get you the settlement you deserve.

They both keep you in the loop at all times. My accident was horrible. They acknowledged this by treating me with the utmost care and concern.

I hope I will not have another work related accident. But if I do, I'll definitely call upon Montlick to assist!

I absolutely LOVE Jennifer Fleming and Lamar Bridges at Montlick & Associates! I was involved in 2 accidents within a week apart from each other and she handled both cases. Anytime I had questions, Ms Fleming or Mr. Bridges responded quickly with clear answers. My first case was settled in perfect timing.

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 !

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 🙏🏽

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!
