What Makes The Millar Law Firm Different in DUI injury claims?

We Fight for Victims of Drunk and Impaired Drivers

We are a law firm with experience representing the victims of drunk and impaired drivers. We believe that these drivers should be held fully responsible for their actions, and we will fight to get you the compensation you deserve.

We never represent or defend drunk, drugged, or impaired drivers. We believe that these drivers put innocent people at risk, and we will not help them get away with it.

If you have been injured by a drunk or impaired driver, our mission is to help you.

Thorough Investigation Can Mean More Insurance Coverage

DUI injury claims require thorough investigation to find all available insurance coverage. In some cases we have been able to discover additional insurance coverage that the victim was not aware of. When more coverage is available, higher compensation becomes more likely.

We Investigate and Handle Georgia Dram Shop Cases

A case against a business, such as a bar, tavern, restaurant, or store, for knowingly serving a person beyond the point of intoxication, knowing they will be driving, is commonly called a Dram Shop case. See O.C.G.A. 51-1-40. Our firm has handled a number of Dram Shop DUI claims.

For instance, if we find out that the intoxicated driver was at a store, house party or restaurant, we will try to determine if the host or tavern negligently served or sold them alcohol and knowingly let them drive away under the influence.

We Pursue Punitive Damages Against Drunk and Drugged Drivers

In Georgia,. driving drunk is considered reckless, which can result in punitive damages being awarded. Punitive damages serve as a deterrent to prevent future incidents of driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs. In Georgia DUI injury claims, unlike other personal injury cases, there is also no limit on damages for drunk driving accidents.

Damages for Pain and Suffering in Georgia DUI Accident Claims

If you have been injured in a DUI accident, you may be entitled to compensation for your pain and suffering. Even in accidents caused by drunk drivers, it is not uncommon for insurance companies to try to deny or minimize pain and suffering claims. An experienced DUI injury attorney on your side can level the playing field.

What Other Damages are Available in DUI injury cases?

In addition to other damages, we can help you recover compensation for:

Our Experience:  Large Claims Against Drunk Drivers and Negligent Businesses

The Millar Law Firm has a history of success, with DUI injury claims.

  • $1.75 Million – (full policy limits) Recovered against a drunk driver and a tavern that over-served alcohol for causing a crash that killed a local fire-fighter.
  • $350,000 – ($50,000 policy limit) Our firm recovered, and our client was paid a settlement of six-times the limit of the drunk driver’s insurance policy after his insurance company failed to pay the settlement demand and later tried to blame the victim.
  • $320,000 – ($25,000 policy limit and only $9,000 in medical bills) After the insurance company failed to pay the claim against a drunk company employee, our firm took the case to trial and received a verdict of over three-hundred-thousand dollars.
  • $465,000 – DUI settlement against the United States Army.  Our client was injured after an on-duty Army officer became intoxicated at a dinner hosted by Top Brass.
