Mountain Park Personal Injury Attorneys
While most personal injury accidents are preventable with the exercise of reasonable care by private individuals, businesses, or public entities, frequently through indifference or inattention these same individuals, businesses or public entities fail to take reasonable precautions to prevent accidents that result in personal injury or wrongful death. Innocent victims in Mountain Park have their lives adversely impacted because of hazardous construction projects, slick or slippery floors, unrestrained pets, drunken drivers, careless medical professionals and many other dangerous hazards.
Our Mountain Park personal injury attorneys at Montlick and Associates know that some injury victims are hesitant about pursuing a claim for compensation because they are unfamiliar with the process of dealing with insurance companies and the legal process. Our legal team works with our clients to demystify the process and make it understandable. We provide our clients with periodic progress reports, send them copies of important documents and correspondence and return their calls and emails within a reasonably prompt time. We pursue a fusion of several objectives, including obtaining compensation for our clients, representing our clients with dignity and personal service and holding those who cause injury to others accountable for their actions.
When you are injured and pursue a legal claim for compensation, the insurance company for the defendant will usually be the party that will contest the claim and pay any settlement or judgment. The representatives for insurance companies are not your friends or allies. The entire mission of the insurance company is to minimize the amount paid on claims so that they can increase the company’s profits. Our dedicated team of Mountain Park personal injury lawyers negotiate aggressively with insurance companies and will not hesitate to litigate the claim in court if the insurance company does not offer what we consider an appropriate settlement for your claim. Since we have been representing clients in personal injury cases since 1984, we are qualified to represent clients in all personal injury matters including:
Mountain Park Car Accident Legal Claims: Car accidents and other motor vehicle collisions involving drivers that do not make driving safety a priority cause many debilitating injuries and needless fatalities. While there are new innovations being developed that may someday prevent many accidents by alerting drivers of an impending collision, disabling distracting electronic devices and preventing intoxicated drivers from starting a vehicle, motor vehicles continue to be one of the leading causes of wrongful death and permanent devastating injuries. Most motor vehicle accident claims are based on negligence of a driver, but some Mountain Park car accidents are caused by defective vehicles or unsafe roads. If you or a loved one is injured in a car accident, our experienced Mountain Park car accident lawyers represent clients in all types of motor vehicle accidents including: drunken driving crashes, motorcycle accidents, busing accidents, distracted driving collisions, bicycle accidents, pedestrian accidents, speeding accidents, trucking accidents and many more.
Mountain Park Canine Attacks (Dog bites, attacks, maulings): While it is normal to think of dogs as man’s best friend, they are still an animal that may engage in unpredictable and dangerous behavior. When someone is the victim of a dog attack (or any animal attack), they may suffer severe injury and emotional wounds. There are dog owners that purchase dogs prone to aggressive and vicious behavior who then groom the dogs to act aggressively toward others. In other cases, the dog may have displayed vicious tendencies though the dog owner did not encourage the behavior. A dog attack in either of these situations may entitle the dog bite victim to pursue a legal claim against the dog owner’s homeowner's insurance. Dog owners that allow their dogs to run at large in violation of Georgia law or are otherwise negligent in preventing a dog bite may also be liable for any resulting injuries. Our Mountain Park dog bite attorneys investigate our clients' claims to develop the best legal approach to their case.
Mountain Park Wrongful Death Legal Claims: When a doctor makes a critical diagnostic or surgical error or an intoxicated driver runs down someone you love, the premature death of a loved one can be an emotionally overwhelming and financially challenging experience. Few people that are coping with the grief and pain of a lost loved one are anxious to turn to more pragmatic matters like insurance claims or legal issues. Unfortunately, Georgia wrongful death law imposes a statutory time limit for pursuing such claims so time is of the essence. Although monetary recovery cannot sooth a surviving loved one’s pain, it can provide the financial means to support family members of the decedent. Our Mountain Park wrongful death attorneys may be able to pursue compensation both for the losses of the fatal accident victim and the loved ones deprived of emotional and financial support.
Mountain Park Workers' Compensation Legal Claims: Many Mountain Park work environments have potential hazards. Sometimes these hazardous conditions are the result of an employer disregarding employee safety regulations or other parties failing to exercise reasonable care to cause injury. While you may obtain workers' compensation benefits without any fault by your employer, the more generous compensation of a personal injury claim requires that you establish fault against a third party. While workers' compensation benefits include medical care, compensation for missed wages and permanent disability, a personal injury action may also provide damages for pain and suffering, impairment of marital relationship, diminished quality of life, punitive damages and more. Our Mountain Park Workers' Compensation attorneys explore the facts surrounding our clients' work injuries or occupational illnesses so that we can develop a strategy designed to maximize our clients’ financial recovery.
Mountain Park Premises Liability Legal Claims: When you visit a business there are many kinds of hazardous conditions that can cause injury including cluttered, poorly lit walkways, sticky or slick substances on tiled floors, animals that are not contained and many others. When a person suffers serious injuries caused because a business owner fails to inspect their property and eliminate hazards or warn visitors of their presence, the area of law that forms the basis of legal claims for such injuries is premises liability law. Businesses, like department stores, grocery stores, eating establishments and other commercial enterprises, typically have an affirmative obligation not only to correct dangerous conditions but to conduct reasonable inspections to discover hazards. While owners of private residences may also be liable for injuries to those on their property, liability depends on the specific circumstances. Our experienced Mountain Park premises liability attorneys work diligently to examine our clients’ claims when they are victims of dog attacks, negligent security, trip and fall accidents or other unsafe hazards on the property of others.
Mountain Park Product Defect Legal Claims: Product liability claims are one of the most effective tool to protect the public from serious injury and wrongful death caused by defective products. While lawmakers can pass legislation and regulations establishing safety rules regarding certain products, these rules usually are not enacted until after multiple accident victims suffer serious injury or die. Plaintiffs that pursue legal claims that impose financial responsibility on product manufacturers provide a monetary incentive for the companies that design, manufacture and market products to work diligently to ensure that their products are free of defects and safe for the public. If you are injured by a defective product like a bad drug, unsafe medical device, hazardous children’s product, or faulty motor vehicle, our experienced Mountain Park product defect attorneys have the experience and knowledge to take on large companies that expose the public to unsafe and defective products.
