Atlanta Auto Accident Injury Lawyer
Each Atlanta Auto Accident Injury Lawyer at Montlick and Associates have been taking on insurance companies on behalf of car accident victims since 1984 and have recovered tens of millions of dollars for clients. We know that if you are involved in a serious car accident, it can result in enormous challenges, including financial hardship, excruciating pain and debilitating injuries that prevent you from working or participating in normal family activities. If your injuries are substantial, you may face staggering medical bills and a prolonged loss of household income. With economic, physical and emotional challenges imposing enormous pressure on you and your family, it is unlikely that your primary concern is fighting with insurance adjusters or dealing with complex legal issues. While you may feel pressure to delay dealing with such pragmatic concerns, the longer you wait to take action following a serious Atlanta car accident, the more difficult it will be to obtain the compensation you need to pay for your staggering financial losses and to provide for your family.
Despite phenomenal advances in motor vehicle safety over the last 50 years, car accidents remain the leading cause of accident-related catastrophic injuries and fatalities. There are over 5.5 million car accidents per year resulting in over 200,000 injuries and in excess of 30,000 fatalities. Although there have been substantial improvements in car safety restraint and booster seat technology, car accidents remain the leading cause of death among children and teenagers. Many of these accidents are caused by negligent or reckless conduct by third-parties, including drivers who are drunk, speeding, distracted, drowsy, or otherwise indifferent to the safety of others. If you or someone you love has been involved in a car accident in the greater Atlanta metro area, our dedicated and caring experienced Atlanta car accident attorneys are prepared to aggressively pursue justice and fair compensation for our clients.
