    Benefits of Hiring The Millar Law Firm and Services We Provide

    The team at The Millar Law Firm have decades of experience with car accident cases. When you call our law firm we will begin with a free consultation and legal advice and guidance to get your car accident case off to a great start.

    • Case Consultation, Review and Evaluation: In our initial sessions we will learn about your case and unique needs, such as whether you have medical insurance or need a referral, if you need a rental car and how to get one, and what insurance coverage you may have in your household that may help increase your recovery.
    • Legal Advice: We will advise you how or whether (or not) to speak with the insurance company, how to deal with the damage to your car, what to post on social media (hint – usually nothing at all) about your case, and steps you can take to maximize the value of your case.
    • Investigation and Evidence Gathering: Our firm will obtain your police reports, medical records, vehicle damage reports, and witness testimony. Building a solid framework from the beginning will strengthen your case and help you to get a fair settlement. To overcome any special or specific evidence challenges, we work with specialists like traffic accident reconstruction and medical experts to build the strongest possible case for you.
    • Negotiation and Trial: Settlement of most car accident cases begins with aggressive negotiations with the insurance company. Most cases settle well, if properly prepared. However, if the insurance company will not meet your settlement demand, we may discuss filing a lawsuit. If litigation is necessary, our strong legal team will not hesitate to file suit with your consent. Unlike some law firms, we regularly take cases to trial.

    How Long Do You Have to Settle a Georgia Car Accident Claim or File a Lawsuit?

    In most cases, you will have up to two years to reach a settlement of a car accident personal injury claim. If the case is not settled before the two-year anniversary – known as the Statute of Limitations – you will need to file lawsuit or your case may be time-barred, and you lose the right to seek or recover compensation.

    What Types of Car Accident Cases and Claims Does The Millar Law Firm Handle?

    We handle a wide variety of car accident cases for the injured in and around Georgia. Cases we regularly handle include:

    • Interstate Highway Crashes – We routinely handle crashes that occur on I-75, I-285 and I-675 near Forest Park and across Georgia.
    • State Highway Crashes – Wrong-way, crossing the center line, intersection and uncontrolled business entrances and exits – these accidents usually involve proving that the at-fault driver failed to yield the right of way. We routinely investigate and prove these cases.
    • Intersection and Roadway Accidents – We handle most types of accidents that occur at intersections, roadways, and parking areas. If you have been injured, contact us for a free evaluation of your case.
    • Rear-End Collisions – Don’t be a victim twice. Many drivers Tailgate (follow too closely) then try to blame you for braking suddenly. The vast majority of rear-end accidents are the fault of the vehicle following another car or truck.
    • Head on Crashes – We handle cases involving drivers losing control and crossing the center line, or distracted drivers who drift into an oncoming lane.
    • Distracted Driving – The Millar Law Firm looks for evidence of eating, texting, putting on makeup, using cell phones and other distractions from things like electronic games, videos or devices.
    • T-Bone Wrecks – Most of these cases involve a driver pulling into the path of another vehicle that had the right of way – many times at high speeds. Our accident reconstruction experts can help prove who is at fault in such accidents.
    • Drunk or Intoxicated Drivers – We regularly and aggressively pursue cases and litigation against drivers intoxicated on alcohol or high on weed. Immediate and thorough investigation is our way of fighting back against drunk and drugged driving.
    • Pedestrians Hit by Cars or Trucks – Our attorneys have handled numerous serious and fatal pedestrian accidents. Don’t let the insurance company try to blame you or your lost loved one for “darting-out” into traffic – let us investigate and prove what happened.
    • Back and Neck Injuries – The Millar Law Firm regularly handles cases involving disk herniation, spinal injuries, compression fractures and other neck and back injuries. We work closely with your medical team to prove the injuries to the insurance company for you.
    • Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) – Traumatic Brain Injuries involve a range of symptoms, from concussions to serious brain bleeds. Our firm has recovered millions of dollars for victims of TBI.
    • Broken Bones, Road Rash, Other Injuries – No matter what kind of injury you or your loved one have suffered, we have seen it during our three decades of specializing in car accident injury law.

    Do you Need an Attorney After Your Car Accident?

    According to the Georgia Department of Transportation, between 2021 and 2023 there were 2,512 car accidents in Forest Park, GA. There are Tens of Thousands more car accidents each year across the State of Georgia. Why is this relevant?

    Auto Insurance Companies are always trying to cut back on accident payouts. They only want to pay out the bare minimum to settle your claim. Studies have shown that accident victims receive significantly more, even after paying their attorney, when they are represented by a competent car accident lawyer during their injury case.

    Our personal injury lawyers will handle all the investigation of your case and present a strong demand to the insurance adjuster. Having a lawyer on your side means the adjuster knows that you can take their insured (and insurance company) to court. This means you have the leverage necessary to settle your injury claim for what it is truly worth.

    We believe that on one should be shortchanged when recovering from an accident.

    How our Lawyers Prove Negligence In Forest Park Car Accident Cases

    Obtaining a police report, reviewing camera recordings and interviewing witnesses are all crucial steps that we take prove the “other” driver caused your accident. This is known as establishing Negligence, which is essential to winning your case.

    In many accidents, the investigating officer will have a body worn camera or patrol car camera, and witnesses may give statements or call 911. A thorough investigation gathers these important pieces of evidence. After the wreck, it is often possible to download electronic data to determine the speeds and other forces involved in the crash.

    Is Establishing Negligence Enough to Win A Car Accident Case?

    While you must establish negligence, in an injury case it may be very difficult to recover damages unless medical care is properly and promptly documented. If you are “tough” and do not seek medical attention right away it can sometimes become difficult to prove that an injury came from a car accident, as compared to some other incident.

    After beginning medical care, it is important to follow your doctors orders and treatment plans. Don’t give the insurance adjuster the chance to argue that you are not hurt because you were too busy to go to the doctor for prescribed medical care.

    I must say, this law firm was extremely professional. They kept me informed every step of the way without missing a beat. Ivory was especially professional and responsive—any time I needed to speak with her, she was just a phone call away. And if she wasn’t immediately available, she always returned my call promptly.
    If you’re looking for a great law firm, I would definitely say The Millar Law Firm is an excellent choice.
