You don't have to drive to downtown Atlanta for high quality legal representation.
There is no reason to drive to downtown Atlanta and entrust your case to a "television" personal injury law firm that may be more style than substance and cannot give your car accident or other injury the personal attention your case truly deserves. Some TV law firms may take on hundreds of clients and randomly assign them to one of dozens of attorneys. Our philosophy is different - we are committed to you. Our attorney's caseloads are limited so that we can assure that each client receives the necessary attention and detailed representation that you deserve.
Accidents and injuries are never convenient. This is why we offer the choice of electronic meetings and sign-ups or the convenience of meeting you wherever you are. Whether it's through efficient communication over the phone or welcoming you to our office in Jonesboro, the choice is yours. We will adapt to your needs, as our mission is to serve and accommodate you.

Accident Cases Our Jonesboro Lawyers Handle Every Day
After a serious accident resulting in an injury, everything may change suddenly. You may find yourself unable to work or drive. Our team of experienced accident and injury attorneys is here to provide support and guidance throughout your recovery and claims process.
Jonesboro Car Accident Attorneys: In your crash, you might have hurt your neck and back, and that pain could spread. Serious crashes might even cause permanent harm or death. You could lose work time, and your family might struggle without your support. At The Millar Law Firm, we are experts in car, truck and motorcycle accident cases. We've dealt with many, and we know the insurance company's tricks. They may try to get statements to use against you or act friendly to pay you less. Unlike big television advertising law firms, at The Millar Law Firm we take fewer cases per lawyer, so that each client gets the focus they need.
Jonesboro's Truck Accident Lawyers: When large trucks and small cars collide, the risks are high—especially if a big-rig or tractor trailer weighing up to 80,000 pounds hits a regular passenger car, which typically weighs around 4,000 lbs. Truck accident cases need specialized lawyers because they are different from car accidents. Numerous federal rules and regulations apply to interstate and intrastate trucking that do not apply in regular car accidents. Knowlege of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Act is critical for the proper handling of truck accident cases.
Truck accidents also involve bigger insurance policies mandated by law, usually at least $750,000. This leads trucking companies and their insurers to defend aggressively. Winning these cases typically requires an experienced truck accident lawyer.
Motorcycle Accident Lawyers: Motorcycle riders face more injury risks than truck or car drivers. Injuries from a motorcycle crash can vary from small cuts and bruises to serious ones like internal bleeding, broken bones, paralysis or amputations. Some riders suffer spinal injury or a severe brain injury. Sometimes, motorcycle crashes can lead to wrongful death. At The Millar Law Firm, our motorcycle accident lawyers are ready to help you recover losses from such accidents.
Wrongful Death and Estate Claims in South Atlanta, GA: Wrongful death cases are the among the most tragic and severe incidents, and they happen everywhere, including Clayton County and Jonesboro. If you're facing such a tragedy, we extend our deepest sympathy. You might be seeking legal advice, so here’s a brief summary of some of Georgia's wrongful death laws:
- Families can file two claims when someone dies wrongfully: a wrongful death claim for the life's full value, and an estate claim for other losses like pain suffered.
- Georgia’s law divides the "full value of life" into intangible aspects (like time with loved ones) and tangible parts (like potential earnings).
- Estate claims let families seek damages for the deceased’s pain and suffering.
- Usually, these lawsuits need to be filed within two years of the death.
- You don’t need to be the estate’s administrator to sue for wrongful death in Georgia.
Wrongful deaths often result from car, motorcycle, truck accidents, or shootings. For more details, visit our Wrongful Death FAQ or contact a Jonesboro wrongful death lawyer.
Attacks, Sexual Assaults, Robberies, and Shootings in Clayton County, GA: When someone is assaulted or robbed on another's premises, they often lose something irreplaceable, both physically and mentally. However, we believe that victims can still stand up for themselves. At The Millar Law Firm, we help victims take action against negligent businesses that allow such crimes to take place, by failing to have adequate security measures in place. Our firm has dealt with cases of robbieries, sexual assaults and rapes, and shootings involving attackers and the organizations, businesseses, apartment complexes and other institutions that enabled them. We understand that it can be hard for victims to speak out, but we're here to support them when they're ready.
Clients with special needs and injuries to children: The Millar Law Firm also assists clients with special needs, such as those who are in need of the appointment of a guardian or conservator to help them pursue a personal injury claim or establish a Trust that will enable the client to continue to receive government benefits and services that may otherwise be at risk after a financial recovery in serious car, truck, or premises liability case.
With a proven track record in personal injury law our attorneys and helpful legal staff are ready to do whatever it takes to protect your rights and help you receive the compensation you deserve.

We will obtain ambulance reports, ER and medical records and we will meet your doctors to better understand and prove your injuries to the insurance company.

Additionally, because our personal injury law firm has been in Clayton County for 31 years, our injury lawyers and office staff are familiar with the local city and county government and court system in ways that attorneys from distant parts of the state or Metro area may not be.
Our Focus is on Proving Your Case and Establishing Negligent Conduct
In many states, including Georgia, a person who causes an injury must pay for the damage they caused. To prove negligence, you need to show that the person you're suing (the defendant) had a duty or responsibility to not harm you. This responsibility, or duty of care, exists in many situations like driving a car, owning property open to the public, or being a doctor. You will use evidence from the accident to show negligence.
What do you need to prove negligence in Georgia? To show someone was negligent in a personal injury case, you must prove that: the defendant had a duty to not harm others; the defendant did not follow this duty; their failure caused your injury; the defendant should have known their actions could result in harm; you suffered actual harm or losses because of this.

Our Jonesboro Personal Injury Attorneys Fight to Recover Compensation for You
Insurance companies do not have your best interests at heart. Automobile, business and homeowner’s insurance companies put profits before people and often try to get injury victims to accept a quick, lowball settlement. We understand these tactics and have been dealing with them for 31 years.
Our lawyers do not handle a high volume of cases, and we are prepared to take any case where the insurance company is not making a fair or reasonable settlement offer to trial.
Negligent companies, drivers or homeowners may owe you compensation for: pain and suffering, inconvenience, past and future medical expenses, lost income, and in some cases, punitive damages.
If another insurance policy is accountable for an accident, your private health insurance company may not cover the medical costs resulting from the incident. This scenario could initiate a process known as subrogation. In such a case, if the other insurance company fails to pay or you neglect to file a legal claim, you might find yourself financially liable for the accident expenses. Our team of attorneys primarily aim to assist victims of accidents in securing a settlement to alleviate their burden of medical bills.
An accident can disrupt your work schedule, or worse, cause you to lose your job. This often leads to a serious loss of income. Insurance companies frequently sidestep the responsibility of covering these losses. Our job is to fight diligently to ensure this type of expense is included in your accident settlement.
Owning a vehicle is a significant investment, and the costs associated with repairing it at a body shop are often substantial. While most insurance companies are generally competent at covering these costs, it's not always a guarantee. Our team of attorneys works diligently to ensure that you're duly compensated for any vehicle damages incurred.
An accident can be so overwhelming that it diminishes one's quality of life. Our committed legal team aims to demonstrate the ways in which an accident has imposed hardships and adversely affected your life.
An accident can potentially result in lifelong alterations to an individual's physical state, with some injuries never fully healing. These enduring changes to a person's body can, however, be subject to compensation. Our dedicated attorneys strive to secure such compensation for our clients who have unfortunately suffered permanent injuries.
Hiring an attorney can enhance your chances of securing compensation for pain and suffering, a category of damages that insurance companies often resist paying. Our committed attorneys exert significant effort towards obtaining this form of compensation on your behalf.
