Personal Attention You Deserve – Clients Are Family Not Just Case Numbers
Some Atlanta law firms take on so many cases, they lose track of their clients. You may have seen their billboards plastered all over the highways from coast to coast.

Unable To Visit Our Office? We’ll Come Directly To You In Clarkston
Traveling in Clarkston—or anywhere in and around Atlanta—can be a grueling experience, especially after a serious injury. We understand that all too well. If you can’t make it to one of our offices, we’ll arrange to have one of our attorneys visit you at home.
The Millar Law Firm doesn’t want you to miss any deadlines or run out the statute of limitations because you can’t get to a law office. We’ll get the papers and documents to you, even if you can’t come to us.
What To Expect During Your Personal Injury Claim
Filing a personal injury claim is mostly about paperwork. After you’re hurt, whether in a car crash or a slip and fall, you file your insurance claim and then wait. It may seem as if there’s nothing more to do, but The Millar Law Firm knows there’s a lot more to be done. When we take your case, we do all the things you can’t do and didn’t realize needed to be done.
Investigate and Gather Evidence
Your medical reports and doctor’s instructions are just the beginning. We collect photos of the accident scene, police reports and bodycam videos, and any other evidence that can strengthen your case.
We’ll also find any witnesses and get their statements. If necessary, we will hold depositions with others involved in the accident, such as property owners. We prepare your case file to include proof of your lost wages, expenses, and all other data necessary to prove your case.
Negotiate with the Insurance Companies
After an accident, you are entitled to both economic damages—the costs of your medical bills and lost wages—and non-economic damages—pain and suffering and other trauma. Most people don’t realize they’re entitled to both kinds of compensation. We’ll do our best to get you what you’re due.
After we collect all the proof of your losses, we negotiate the best settlement with the insurance companies. We make sure nothing gets missed or set aside by the insurer.
Settlement or Trial
We send a demand packet to the insurance company, followed by negotiations. Ideally, we will reach an agreeable settlement that gives you the compensation you deserve for your accident.
If the insurer won’t come to an agreement, The Millar Law Firm has everything we need to take your claim to a judge or jury. Litigation is our last resort. Trials are time consuming and expensive for both sides. We will go as far as necessary for your claim.
The Millar Law Firm has more than three decades’ experience winning cases and settling them in favor of our clients. We can do the same for you.

Personal Injury FAQs
If An Injury Happens On Someone Else’s Property Which Insurance Company Is Responsible For Paying?
If you are injured in an accident on someone else’s property, the liable party pays for your injury. Property owners have a responsibility to ensure their premises are reasonably safe for visitors. If your injury is due to the property owner’s liability, then their insurance company will pay for your damages.
How Can I Prove The Property Owner Was Responsible For My Injury?
Proving the property owner was responsible for your injury means you must show they were negligent. Negligence means they failed to take reasonable precautions to prevent your injury. Some ways your attorney will prove negligence include:
- Actual knowledge. If the property owner knew about the hazard and failed to correct it, it is proof of negligence. For instance, a broken walkway in an apartment building that has been there for a year is actual knowledge.
- Constructive knowledge. If the owner should have known about the hazard or could have known with reasonable inspection. If the gutters leak and freeze over every year, causing a slip hazard, but the owner fails to repair them each year, because nobody slipped “last year” it might be considered constructive knowledge.
What Should I Do Immediately After Being Injured On Someone Else’s Property In Clarkston?
If you get injured on someone else’s property in Clarkston, your first step should be to see a doctor. Even if you don’t think you’ve been seriously hurt, you should get checked out. Many injuries take hours or days to appear, especially neck and back injuries.
Your next step should be to contact an attorney. You have only two years after you are injured to file a legal claim. Don’t wait too long to begin your insurance claim.
Can I Still Recover Compensation If My Injury Occurred At A Friend’s Or Family Member’s Home?
You can file a personal injury claim against any property owner if their negligence caused your injury. The problem you may have if it is a friend or family member is the embarrassment or unpleasantness of suing a friend in court if the insurance company refuses to settle.
In this situation, you may need the help of an attorney to keep your dealings with the other party at arm’s length.
How are property injury claims different than auto accident legal claims?
In any kind of injury claim, you must prove that the other party was negligent, that is, that their act or failure to act caused your injury in some way. In a property injury, such as a slip and fall accident, the other party’s negligence must have affected the property. In a vehicle accident, the driver’s negligence caused your injury directly.
For example, in a slip and fall accident, you must show that the property owner knew about a dangerous condition and failed to correct it, which led directly to your accident. The owner doesn’t need to have been on the property at the time of your accident.
In a car accident, the driver must have done something that caused your accident, such as speeding or running a red light.
