Caring, professional and thorough. They go above and beyond to make sure your well being is taken care of first. Both Douglas and Gia are a team that cannot be matched by any other firm. They call you within the first week to let you know they take their job very serious without any form of arrogance. Thank you for representing me and my child! I'm a client for life!

Cate Powell and her team did excellent job at getting me the help I needed. They referred me to a great medical facility for treatment. Any questions I had was met with a quick response and I was always up to date on what was happening. They made the process as easy as possible for me. I would highly recommend using Cate Powell with montlick and associates.

When it comes to personal injuries being handled with upmost quality care, professionalism and determination to resolve all legal woes quickly and successfully. I'll be the first in a very long line of satisfied customers to say that Monica Pearson, (one of Atlanta's great Black female broadcast journalists and the first, former WSB-TV evening anchor at Channel 2 Action News) who I truly admire was right on the money (meaning trustworthy) for informing all victims of negligence to seek legal help from a proven law firm such as Montlick & Associates, who I call the best of the best LEGAL STRONG ARMS in the personal injury business!I'm a client of this wonderful establishment who truly took care of all my needs relating to my unfortunate accident, all due to a distracted driver who paid dearly for his poor driving ability.In saying that, I must recognize two important people at the firm. One is legal assistant Amber Starks (a marvelous paralegal) who kept my spirit up while I dealt with my personal recovery. Amber Starks is fantastic person to know, and second is my attorney, the incredible Nick Vocino. I call him a "legal eagle battling ram" for the underdog against vicious insurance companies. He's terrific! Nick "The Battle Ram" Vocino is "no joke" when it comes to him protecting his clients, he's fabulous! And last but also first is the entire staff at Montlick, who made me feel like one of their family members, just splendid! Alright people, I stated I was recognizing two, but I ended up acknowledging four. Monica Pearson, Amber Starks, Nick Vocino and the staff at Montlick; thank you for all that you have done and still do. All of you have earned my respect and deserve a round of applause from your clients. Ladies & gentlemen, I appreciate you for a job well done. Many blessings I send to you.

Workplace Injury Lawyers Serving Columbus, GA

You Work Hard. So Do We.

Workers’ compensation claims and personal injury claims often overlap. In many cases, you can pursue both at the same time: filing a workers’ comp claim with your employer and filing a personal injury claim against a third party that contributed to your injury. For example, your attorney may be able to pursue a workers’ compensation claim with your employer and a personal injury claim against a negligent equipment manufacturer.

If you suffer an injury while on the job or helping your employer outside of normal workplace hours, you will generally be able to seek workers’ compensation benefits. These benefits may include income replacement checks, medical care and disability compensation.

In most cases, an employee may pursue a workers’ compensation claim even if that employee may have contributed to causing their own injury, though some exceptions apply. During your free consultation with a Montlick attorney, we will examine the details of your situation and advise you on your specific legal rights.

What If the Accident Was Not My Employer’s Fault?

Sometimes, accidents are truly no one’s fault. For example, maybe you lift a heavy box in your warehouse job and your back gives out, causing you pain and making you unable to work. The workers’ comp system is a no-fault system, which removes the obstacle of proving fault by one’s employer. That means, if you were injured on the job, regardless of how it happened, you could be entitled to receive workers’ comp benefits. There are some exceptions to this, but a workers’ comp attorney can walk you through your options.

If there was an additional party responsible for your accident (for example, a defective piece of machinery contributed to your workplace injury), you could also have a personal injury claim in addition to your workers’ comp claim. Montlick lawyers are skilled, knowledgeable and experienced, and will explore every option to maximize the value of your claim, ultimately leading to more money in your pocket.
