The Right Lawyer for Your DUI Claim

We work to get you the compensation you deserve, directly impacting your recovery and future. Our focus is your best interest.

2. We collect essential evidence

Proving the at-fault driver was impaired is central to winning a DUI injury case. We know that every DUI accident is different, and that's why we take the time to conduct an exhaustive investigation of your case. The Millar Law Firm has the ability to gather all the evidence, including police reports, 911 call recordings, body cam footage, witness statements, medical records, and financial records. If it is necessary, we also work with accident reconstruction experts to determine and prove the cause of the accident.

When it comes to aggressively fighting for our clients, we have a deep reservoir of knowledge of Georgia laws and legal precedents.

No Fee Unless We Win Your Accident Case

The Millar Law Firm understands that as the victim of a drunk or drugged driver, you may be facing increasing medical expenses and bills, lost pay, and an uncertain financial future. That is why our firm handles all injury cases on a contingency fee, which means that you pay us nothing and owe us no fees until and unless we win your case.

A contingency fee means that the payment arrangement is contingent upon us winning your case. We do not charge an up-front or hourly fee. This saves you financial stress. We partner with you to receive a percentage of your settlement or verdict, but only if your case is a success. If we do not recover money for you, you will owe us nothing.

Understanding Your Rights

As the victim of a DUI accident, it is important that you fully understand your rights to compensation under Georgia law. Suing a drunk driver is an important way to protect your rights, seek justice, and receive compensation when recovering from an accident caused by another driver’s reckless behavior.

Compensation for Damages. Drunk or impaired drivers need to be held accountable for the harm they cause. By suing for damages, we ensure you get compensation for not only medical bills, property damages and lost wages but pain and suffering.
Deterrence and Accountability: Suing drunk drivers holds them legally responsible for their actions and sends a strong message to others that impaired driving has serious consequences. Defendants can be subject to criminal charges and successful prosecution can provide you with a sense of justice.
Punitive Damages: In Georgia, driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is willful and wanton conduct. Courts can award punitive damages, above and beyond medical expenses, property damages, and lost wages, because of the at-fault driver’s reckless behavior.
Your Advocate: The legal professionals at the Millar Law Firm advocate for you throughout the claim process. We stand firmly with accident victims and ensure your case has the best possible outcome.

Partnering with The Millar Law Firm

When you call The Millar Law Firm for your free first consultation, you’ll begin the process of arming yourself for the battle ahead. You’ll speak to an intake specialist who will take a brief history of your claim.

The intake specialist will then schedule a consultation for you with members of our legal team. At that meeting you will explore not only the facts around your claim, but also the options you have for proceeding. We will discuss the strengths and weaknesses of your claim, as well as learn about timelines and possible compensation. Our goal for that meeting is to provide you with a roadmap of the journey to your settlement so that you’ll know what’s ahead when you leave that first consultation.

Negotiations with the insurance company are handled by the Millar Law Firm to ensure you're not pressured into a bad deal. Insurance companies may hire independent medical examiners to minimize your injuries or claim that you’re not as hurt as you say. This can be especially tough if you’re still recovering from the trauma and aren’t in the best position to defend yourself. Never speak to the insurance company without an attorney present, as they may try to use your vulnerability to settle for less.

Sometimes DUI cases go to trial when a fair settlement can’t be reached. This shows the insurance company you’re serious about getting what you deserve. In our over 30 years of practicing personal injury law, we’ve developed an expertise that gives our clients the edge over insurance company lawyers.

The Millar Law Firm is part of your support network as you recover from your accident. As such we work to give our clients the same customer service we would provide to our own families. We work on clear and concise communications. Your calls and questions matter to us. This means we work to reduce telephone hold times, calling our clients back quickly, and supplying you with frequent case updates. We know there are lots of Atlanta law firms to choose from. When you choose us to represent you, we aim to make you happy.

Pursuing Claims Against Providers of Alcohol

When a drunk driver causes an accident, he or she may not be to the only party responsible for causing your injuries. Georgia has laws known as Dram Shop liability. Under Georgia Dram shop laws, it may be possible to hold businesses or individuals who provided alcohol to the drunk driver responsible if they provided alcohol to someone who was visibly intoxicated or under the age of 21, who then caused your accident. In addition to bars, restaurants and stores selling alcohol, in some cases social hosts, such as a party host, or a homeowner may be responsible for your injuries. Our injury lawyers will investigate and pursue dram shop claims for you.
