Benefits Of Hiring The Millar Law Firm After A Centerville Car Accident
With more than three decades focused exclusively on personal injury law, The Millar Law Firm has built a reputation in Centerville and neighboring communities for recognized excellence, a client-centered approach, and a relentless commitment to challenging insurance companies on your behalf.
Recognized Excellence
The Millar Law Firm has earned top credentials and industry recognitions, including an AV Preeminent Rating from Martindale-Hubbell (the highest for legal ability and ethical standards), a perfect 10.0 AVVO Rating that reflects client satisfaction, and selection to Super Lawyers, which honors Georgia's top 5% of attorneys. The firm’s attorneys are also proud members of the Million Dollar Advocates Forum, which recognizes their track record of high-value recoveries.
Client-Centered Approach
We prioritize open communication and maintain a manageable caseload to ensure responsive service. Every case is prepared for trial from day one, which pressures insurance companies to make fair settlements. Unlike high-volume firms, we focus on quality, building strong, trial-ready claims to maximize your recovery.
We Challenge Insurance Companies On Your Behalf
Insurance companies are often trained to delay, deny, and underpay cases. We hold them accountable by preparing every case for court, if necessary. This creates the leverage to pursue appropriate damages on your behalf.
Types of Car Accident Cases We Handle in Centerville
Whether your car accident occurred in Centerville or in the surrounding region, our firm handles all motor vehicle injury claims, including:
- Common collision types: Rear-end, T-bone, intersection, head-on, and sideswipe accidents on local roads such as Braswell Road, Hudson Bridge Road, and South Columbia Street.
- Serious injuries or fatal crashes: Rollover or multi-vehicle crashes, as well as fatal or wrongful death cases.
- Other cases: Drunk driving, distracted driving, hit-and-run, rideshare (Uber and Lyft) accidents, and pedestrian and bicycle injuries.
What Compensation Can You Recover After a Centerville Car Accident?
If you were injured in a Centerville car accident, you may be entitled to substantial financial compensation. The Millar Law Firm holds insurance companies accountable to ensure all your losses are fully considered. We work with medical providers, accident reconstruction experts, and financial professionals to calculate damages, including:
- Medical bills and rehabilitation: Under Georgia law (O.C.G.A. § 51-12-7), you may recover all past and future medical expenses, including emergency care, surgeries, hospital stays, therapy, and ongoing rehabilitation.
- Lost wages and future earning capacity: If your injuries prevent you from working now or in the future, Georgia law (O.C.G.A. § 51-12-7) allows you to recover those financial losses, which we work with financial experts to calculate accurately.
- Pain and suffering: Compensation for intense pain, emotional trauma, and reduced quality of life is permitted under Georgia law (O.C.G.A. § 51-12-4).
- Property and vehicle damage: You can pursue compensation for diminished value (lost resale value) and loss of use (rental expenses) under Georgia law (O.C.G.A. §§ 51-12-4, 33-4-7). Note: The statute of limitations is four years (O.C.G.A. § 9-3-31).
- Punitive damages: In cases involving DUI or reckless driving, Georgia law (O.C.G.A. § 51-12-5.1) allows for punitive damages that punish egregious behavior. We build strong cases to pursue the maximum damages allowed. While punitive damages are often capped at $250,000, there is no cap for DUI cases.
No Fees Unless We Win
We believe Centerville residents should have access to high-quality legal representation, especially after an accident. This is why we operate on a contingency fee basis: You pay nothing unless we recover compensation for you. This means we cover all upfront legal expenses, including investigation, accident reconstruction, expert fees, court costs, and trial preparation. You never pay out-of-pocket. We take on the financial risk so you can focus on healing.
How Our Legal Process Works
Here’s what you can expect when you choose The Millar Law Firm:
- Initial consultation and case evaluation: A free, no-obligation meeting to discuss your accident, and injuries, and ask questions. We offer flexible meeting options for Centerville residents.
- Investigation and evidence gathering: We gather police reports, witness statements, photos, surveillance videos, medical records, and employment documents.
- Medical treatment and documentation: We help ensure proper medical care and thorough injury documentation, connecting injuries to the accident.
- Demand and negotiation: We prepare a comprehensive demand for the insurance company, outlining facts, liability, injuries, and deserved compensation.
- Litigation if necessary: We prepare every case for trial and file suit if needed.
- Resolution and recovery: We aim to maximize your financial recovery, handle paperwork, and keep you informed so you can focus on recovery.
Why Time Matters: Protecting Your Rights After a Car Accident in Centerville
Under Georgia law (O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33), you have two years from the date of your car accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. This deadline applies to claims for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and wrongful death. Missing this deadline means permanently losing your right to receive compensation.
Delaying your cases has serious drawbacks, including:
- Evidence deterioration: Physical evidence can deteriorate after an accident, such as skid marks at the intersection of Wilson Drive and Elberta Road, surveillance footage can be erased, and witnesses may become difficult to find.
- Insurance tactics: Insurance companies may use delays to question claims or offer lower settlements, often putting those who wait at a disadvantage.
- Legal complexities: Cases involving government entities may have shorter deadlines. Missing these deadlines is as devastating as missing the standard statute of limitations. Prompt initiation preserves evidence and strengthens your case.
Why Immediate Action Leads To Better Results
We understand this urgency. Our team conducts immediate investigations to preserve evidence, manages insurance communications, and ensures timely filing. Our proactive approach yields successful outcomes for Centerville clients.

- $300,000 recovered after proving was speeding in a failed-to-yield crash: When our client was riding as a passenger and their driver failed to yield to an oncoming car, we proved the oncoming driver was speeding using vehicle data.
