Since Covid, I’ve been in 3 hit-and-run accidents in which neither were my fault. I had a different attorney represented me in the first accident who was not very attentive nor responsive to my numerous calls and questions. For my second and third accident, I decided to go with Montlick and Associates, specifically Attorney Cate Powell. Cate, returned my call; she listened, took notes, allowed me to vent about chronic pain I was experiencing and after finding out that the other driver almost got out of paying the liability claim due to a technicality, Cate assured me that she had everything under control. Unlike my first attorney, she not only provided updates but she checked on my recovery as well; and if she was unable to personally update me, she allowed her team to provide an update. Cate is a fighter for her clients, she even dealt with my insurance to ensure that I received everything that was owed to me. And she also represented my husband as well. She is now someone I trust wholeheartedly, and if I ever have a legal matter, I can call her for help and if she can’t represent me, she will certainly point me in the right direction.So, if you’re ever in an accident and seeking legal representation, and need a no-nonsense attorney, call Attorney Cate Powell because I am telling you from experience – she would be your one call that would fully represent you. Trust me!
Hi I would like to thank Scott Patterson for everything for helping me with my case. He is a nice and terrific guy.
After a terrible accident, we turned to Ellen Forrester at Montlick for help with my mom's case. She walked us through everything step by step, handled the documentation and when it came time, her colleague, Mike Moran, and her represented my mom amazingly at mediation. While we are very happy with the settlement reached, this process was so much easier with their care and guidance. We will forever recommend them and Montlick to anyone.
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.

My attorney did his job. He helped me and listened to me. He was a blessing to have as my attorney.
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.
I had a wonderful experience with Montlick and my lawyer Nick Vocino. He was very efficient and always available if I needed him. I would recommend Montlick and Nick V. to anyone who needs help after an accident!
My experience with Montlick&Associates was truly a great one. They represented me and my family very well from start to finish. Ms. Forrester and Ms. Casoriowere exceptional and very good at keeping me informed and helpful during my time as their client. I would recommend to anyone that needs an a attorney, look no further because Montlick&Associates is and will be the first to call.Sincerely,Lawrence
I cannot say enough good things about Ellen Forrester and Dayna Clark at Montlick. They took an awful incident and walked me through the process of getting the care I needed and knowledge to help pay for expenses and get a reasonable claim to help me and my family. I have recommended them to others and definitely recommend them to those looking for an attorney that listens and treats you like a person.

Do you have a case?

Experience matters

Medical malpractice cases are particularly complicated, often going to trial. These cases require a skilled and experienced personal injury attorney to fight fiercely for what you deserve. For 40 years, Montlick has been winning these cases for people like you.

Billions of dollars won

Choosing the right attorney can make an enormous difference in the amount of money you receive for your case. While no amount of money can compensate you fully for the pain you’ve endured, a personal injury payout can help accommodate your new reality. Montlick has won billions of dollars for our injured clients. Find out how we can help you, too.

Setting the Standard For Compassion.

When you work with Montlick, your attorney will always be:

  • Bold
  • Reputable
  • Seasoned
  • Knowledgeable

Do I Have a Case?

Our medical malpractice attorneys understand how devastating it can be to sustain an injury due to carelessness resulting in expensive long-term medical care, disability, drastic reduction in quality of life, psychological harm, and more.

Your right to compensation will depend on the circumstances surrounding your care. Medical malpractice cases are notoriously difficult to prove for a number of reasons. For example, it’s not always easy to determine whether a medical error occurred and what constitutes medical negligence.

Unfortunately, a poor health outcome does not, on its own, constitute a medical malpractice case. For example, if you went for surgery on your left knee, and it did not end your pain, that would not constitute a medical malpractice claim. However, if you went in for surgery on your left knee, and due to a clerical error the hospital performed the operation on your right knee, that could be grounds for a claim. In Georgia, a plaintiff (the injured person) must prove that the doctor or medical professional in question breached the standard of care.

If you think you might have a medical malpractice claim, call us today for a free consultation. A qualified Montlick attorney will examine the facts of your case, determine whether you have a viable medical malpractice claim, and walk you through your legal options.

Understanding Medical Malpractice

Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare professional provides a patient with reckless or negligent care. Claims arising out of medical malpractice are not necessarily restricted to doctors and can extend to physician assistants, nurses, therapists, dentists, and other medical specialists. Medical malpractice may include:

Delayed or misdiagnosis: Prompt diagnosis is crucial to your medical care and ultimate recovery. When a doctor fails to timely diagnose or wrongly diagnose the patient, they can miss out on life-saving treatment and suffer injury or death. In such cases, the patient or their family may be able to pursue a medical malpractice claim against the doctor who made the error.

Surgical errors: Practicing surgeons regularly hold the lives of patients in their hands and mistakes made during surgery can have catastrophic results. Surgical errors can include leaving instruments within the patient’s body, operating on the wrong part of the body, and using unclean instruments. Anesthesia errors can also result in permanent injury, brain damage, or death.

Childbirth injuries: Many types of fetal injuries can be caused by medical practice, including brain injuries, fractured bones, brachial plexus injuries, and others. Such injuries can be caused by negligence during prenatal care and childbirth.

Medication errors: Prescription drug errors injure millions annually. Errors can be made during the prescribing, administering, or filling stage.

Time Deadlines

We urge anyone who has been injured by reckless or negligent conduct of another to call a personal injury lawyer as soon as possible after the incident. Each state has specific laws about how long you have after an incident to bring a claim (also called “statute of limitations”).

While Georgia’s statute generally gives injured people two years from the date of the incident to file, this timeline can vary depending on the facts of each unique case, making your timeline longer or shorter. Once the legal time deadline passes for your case, you can no longer receive any money in relation to your claim.

While filing a lawsuit might be the furthest thing from your mind as you come to terms with your negligent or reckless healthcare experience, we urge you not to delay calling a personal injury lawyer to ensure that you know and understand your legal rights and how to protect those rights.
