How The Millar Law Firm Builds Your Injury Case

As soon as we take your case, we do everything we can to ensure you get the best settlement possible. We begin by making sure that your insurance claim contains all the medical invoices and police reports to support the initial request.

Proving your claim may require more extensive investigation. Our investigators will gather all evidence necessary to prove your case, including:

• Photos of the accident scene, videos, and reconstructions
• Witness statements and depositions
• Doctor’s reports and expert testimony
• Paycheck stubs, tax records, and proof of income

If your doctors believe you may have continuing medical issues, we will work with your doctors and other experts to create a record showing future medical costs and probable loss of income.

This information will support your claims for both economic damages—the monetary cost of your accident and non-economic damages—the emotional and psychological cost of your accident.

Personalized Attention from a Dedicated Case Manager

Once The Millar Law Firm takes your case, it is assigned to a legal team. You have an attorney, paralegal, and support staff working on your case. Unlike some large law firms where your case manager may change from week to week, you’ll have the same person answering your calls whenever you have any questions.

There may be times when it seems like nothing is happening in your case. We won’t leave you hanging. Even when things are going slowly, your case manager will let you know what’s going on and will be available when you call.

Personal Injury FAQS from Potential Clients

What types of future medical costs can be included in a personal injury settlement?

Future medical costs for a personal injury settlement can include anything your doctor reasonably believes you might need. They could include:

• Follow-up care, medication, and hospitalization
• Diagnostic testing and surgery
• Rehabilitation and therapy
• Medical equipment and home modification
• Long-term nursing care
• Pain management and mental health care

Do insurance companies consider long-term medical care when offering a settlement?

Insurance companies do not typically consider long-term medical care when offering a settlement unless the patient has long-term insurance coverage. Severe injuries likely to require permanent care may not receive adequate settlements without legal assistance.

How are future medical expenses calculated in a personal injury claim?

Future medical expenses are calculated in a personal injury settlement in discussions between doctors and rehabilitation professionals, financial experts, and attorneys. The assessments include:

• An evaluation of the patient’s current status and likelihood of recovery. The analysis considers possible improvements in medicine and rehabilitative therapy.
• The costs of inpatient and in-home care, adjusted for inflation over the patient’s lifetime.
• Life care planners to evaluate the probable course of the patient’s needs.

The team then converts their discussion into a total dollar amount which is the final amount of the settlement.

Can I recover compensation for future surgeries or rehabilitation after an accident?

You can recover compensation for future surgeries and rehabilitation through the method described above. If the future costs were not included in the original settlement, you may have more difficulty proving that your surgery or need for rehabilitation was related to the accident. In that case, you need legal assistance from a personal injury attorney.

What role do medical experts play in estimating future medical costs?

Medical experts play a key role in estimating your future medical costs. Medical experts analyze the current status of your injuries and assess your probable course of recovery. They will determine when you will be fully recovered or if you will need care for the remainder of your life. Medical experts also counter experts from the insurance company who may downplay or discount medical reports and claim your injuries are less serious than you believe.
