We Can Help Maximize Your Injury Compensation 

If you’ve been injured in a car accident because of someone else’s negligence, you’re entitled to seek compensation that will make you whole. That means recovering all of your economic and noneconomic losses, both past and future. Our approach is to work closely with your medical and economic team by obtaining reports and testimony from medical experts, vocational experts and economists. We also routinely work with accident reconstruction experts to prove exactly what happened and how the at-fault party was negligent.

We have Specialized in Car Accidents for Over 30 Years

When you are represented by an attorney for a car accident, it matters what kind. Not all law firms are focused strongly on car accidents or on providing excellent, personalized, service. Many big firms take on a large number of cases in differing areas of law, handling bankruptcy cases one day, and slip-and-fall the next. We believe that focusing on just personal injury law gives us an advantage and helps us receive better results for our injury clients. 

No Recovery – No Fees

How much does The Millar Law Firm charge to handle a McDonough or Henry County car accident injury case?

First, our consultations are free. You can speak with an attorney about your car accident case and receive a case evaluation by phone or in person at no charge. If we are able to work together, our firm will handle your case on a contingency fee. This means no up-front charges and our attorneys fees are not paid unless we win money for you.

Your Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) Answered

How Do Lawyers Determine if You have a Good Case?

The strength of a typical Georgia car accident case is generally determined by whether it can be proven that another driver caused your car accident and whether you suffered damages or losses. We will investigate both of these factors at no charge by obtaining the law enforcement investigation, public records such as 911 recordings and police video recordings, interview witnesses and by working closely with your medical team to determine the full amount of your physical and mental damages.

Can I recover my medical bills and expenses in a car accident case?

Yes. If you have been injured in a car accident caused by another driver’s negligence, that driver, usually through their insurance company is responsible for paying your medical bills and other expenses, past and future.

How much can I receive for my pain and suffering from an auto accident claim?

In Georgia, pain and suffering is a legal and legitimate item of damages in any car wreck case in which you have been injured. The amount you can recover usually depends on the severity of the injury and how long it lasts. The pain and suffering from many injuries carries significant value, however, the most serious injuries – those that are permanent or catastrophic – usually carry with them a much higher settlement value and potential jury award.

Can I recover lost pay after a serious car accident?

Lost income, both in the past and in the form of future losses are a compensable item of damages in a Georgia personal injury case, including car accident claims. If you have missed work, or will be missing work in the future, you may be entitled to recover for the money you have already lost. If you are able to show that your ability to labor and earn income in the future has been diminished, you may be entitled to include and recover those losses in your case or claim.

Am I able to recover additional compensation if an injury is permanent or has left one or more scars?

Yes. Whether an injury is permanent is one of the largest factors in establishing the value of a car accident case. A serious injury that leaves you unable to do all of the things you could do in the past, or that makes doing those things more difficult, could mean larger compensation in your injury case.

What Other Personal Injury Cases Does The Millar Law Firm Handle?

The Challenges of Handling a Car Accident Injury Case in McDonough, Georgia without a Lawyer 

While it’s possible to handle a car accident injury claim on your own, there are major obstacles to overcome if you’re trying to get maximum compensation without a lawyer. First, insurance carriers make every effort to reduce or deny a payout and will often use legal tactics and strategies that are hard for most people to fight. Our lawyers know insurance companies and the tactics they use, and we have the tools to stop them. 

Second, it can be difficult to find all the insurance coverage available for your accident. Even if you collect insurance information from the other driver, there may be other policies that can cover your costs, such as secondary, umbrella, or employer policies. If your injuries were severe your costs may exceed the coverage available under a single policy limit. Our attorneys know how and where to look for additional coverage to help ensure you’re compensated for all harms and losses caused by the accident.

Third, many people don’t understand how to calculate the total value of their claim either because they don’t know what should be included or they don’t know how to prove it. Unrepresented accident victims may not know how to recover all past and future medical expenses, lost income, and damages for pain and suffering, and insurance companies aren’t going to help them. 

Our lawyers do all the work to collect essential evidence that proves your claim and can accurately calculate all losses and damages caused by the accident. We use that information to submit an effective demand letter that states exactly what you deserve and backs it up with the right documentation. Being able to put together a strong demand package requires specialized knowledge and experience that you can’t learn overnight. 

Finally, negotiating a fair settlement with the insurance company can be difficult even with good evidence. State and local laws are complex, especially with Georgia being a comparative negligence state, and insurance companies will look for any argument to pay less compensation. One statement or misstep can ruin your case. Our attorneys know the laws and can effectively counter the insurance company’s arguments during negotiations and, if necessary, at trial. We’ve been winning large settlements and verdicts for McDonough residents for almost 30 years.
