Personal Injury Lawyers in Jonesboro and Clayton County, Georgia.
We understand that 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 30 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. We do not settle “cheap” because that is not in your best interest. The many cases we have filed and taken to jury trials are in the public record of the Clayton County State and Superior Court and can be easily accessed with some basic research.
We promptly return all phone calls and do not have an army of paralegals that handle hundreds of cases at a time. When you put your trust in our law firm, our promise is to provide excellent client service and to dedicate ourselves to giving your case the focus you deserve.

Personal Injury Cases We Handle
Is Jonesboro or Clayton County, GA a good place to have an injury case? (Yes).
Can I get a great personal injury settlement in South Atlanta? The fact is that most injury cases in Georgia settle without the need to file a lawsuit. However, when lawsuits are necessary, Georgia law requires that you bring your lawsuit in either the jurisdiction in which the accident occurred or in the county in which the defendant lives, does business or is incorporated.
Why should you hire our Jonesboro attorneys? If you have been injured by a Clayton County resident or a business owned or operated in Clayton County, this is a good reason to hire a law firm located in Jonesboro in Clayton County. Recent history shows that even the threat of filing a lawsuit in Clayton County may help your case to settle fairly.
Insurance companies and defense lawyers fear Clayton County. Why? In recent years, Clayton County has gained a reputation as County that Insurance Companies fear. This is because the citizens of our county understand the need to stand up for Justice in today’s society. And, because our firm regularly files and takes cases to trial in Jonesboro and Clayton County, we believe this gives our clients an edge.
Great injury settlements come from preparation. Cases that are carefully investigated and properly presented to the Insurance Company often settle, because the adjuster is convinced that the Plaintiff’s lawyer (your attorney) has put together a strong case.
Fair Settlement Compensation. Our Jonesboro personal injury lawyers will prepare your case as if it is going to trial before suit is even ready to be filed. We send a message to the insurance company that if you are not offered a fair settlement, we are prepared to file suit and continue to fight for you.

Our Local Experience is in Demand
Large national firms may have an “army of lawyers” or advertise that “bigger is better.” In our experience this doesn’t always mean they can provide you with the best service and resolution of your claim. Huge law firms may have a large number of clients to service. Also, you should be wary of hiring lawyers from outside the state, because they may not have much experience with the local court system and other services that can help prove your case.

A Few Examples of Atlanta and Jonesboro Injury Cases We Accept:
Jonesboro Car Accident Cases and Claims:
You can count on our Jonesboro Car Accident Lawyers. The Millar Law Firm has been recovering compensation in auto and motor vehicle injury cases and claims for your Clayton County neighbors since 1993.

Our law firm specializes in just a few areas of law, including car accident cases. Insurance companies know which law firms settle cheap and which ones will file lawsuits.
Because we have tried to verdict many automobile accident injury cases in Clayton County, this has helped us receive many excellent settlement results for our clients.
Jonesboro Truck Accident Cases and Claims:
Many personal injury law firms handle truck accident cases “once in a while.” However, our firm can truly call ourselves “truck accident lawyers.” In just the past five years, our truck accident lawyers have handled serious semi-truck and commercial truck crash cases all over the South Metro-Atlanta area, including Atlanta, College Park, Hapeville, Jonesboro, McDonough, Riverdale, Stockbridge, Forest Park, Conley, Rex, Clayton County, Henry County, Fayette County, Macon, Bibb County, and more.
South-Atlanta is a hot bed for large truck and semi accident cases, as we have several interstate highways, I-285, I-75 and I-85 and heavy traffic.
In truck accident cases not only can the driver be at-fault, the trucking company is almost always liable, and you may also be able to sue the trucking insurance company in a direct action under O.C.G.A. 40-2-140. Being able to name the trucking company and its insurer can give you a major advantage in a trucking or commercial vehicle accident case.
Jonesboro Motorcycle Accident Cases and Claims:
Our Jonesboro injury lawyers have handled dozens of motorcycle accident claims throughout South Atlanta, Jonesboro, and the Clayton County area.
Motorcycle accident claims are another specialty of our law firm.
Motorcycle injury cases are different, because at-fault drivers frequently do not see the biker they hit, but will then try to blame the rider for causing the collision anyway.
Drivers and their insurance companies also often try to diminish the value of motorcycle accident cases by blaming the biker for driving recklessly, even if you were obeying all rules of the road.
Careful investigation and knowing how the rules of the road apply to motorcycle accident cases are the keys to success in these claims.
Our Jonesboro, Georgia Motorcycle accident lawyers will review your case at no charge.
Jonesboro Drunk Driving Injury Cases and Claims:
The Millar Law Firm only accepts personal injury cases. Unlike many of our competitors, we do not defend criminal drunk drivers one day and represent their victims the next.
Criminal penalties under DUI laws are not enough to fully compensate you and your family. You and your family may be entitled to compensation above and beyond the criminal liability imposed upon drunk drivers. Such compensation is recoverable in a civil claim. Compensation can include things like payment of medical bills and money for car repairs or replacements, compensation for pain and suffering and punitive damages (to punish the drunk driver).
Additionally, we investigate all drunk driving accident claims to see whether there are any third-party negligence claims, such as a case against a bar, restaurant or store who may have sold alcohol to a noticeably intoxicated driver.
Jonesboro Dog Bite and Attack Cases and Claims:
Atlanta has a high number of dog bite and dog attack incidents. Over the past ten years The Millar Law Firm’s attorneys have gained a reputation as being among Atlanta’s best dog bite lawyers.
We have tried many dog bite cases (including cases of pit bull attacks) to successful verdicts, and recovered millions of dollars in settlements—often for amounts equal to the homeowner’s insurance policy limits.
In Jonesboro, as in many other Georgia cities and counties, a dog owner may be liable for carelessly managing their family dog, resulting in the dog bite or attack. Dog bite claims may often be proven by evidence that the dog was previously vicious or was roaming loose in violation of a local ordinance when the attack happened.
Jonesboro Negligent Security and Sexual Assault Cases:
In Georgia, businesses such as apartment complexes, shopping centers, convenience stores and retailers may be liable if they allow criminal activity to take place on their property due to the negligence of the owner or management. Our Clayton County premises liability lawyers have handled and proven many negligent security and assault cases, including cases involving well-known boys and girls organizations, large retailers, and shopping plazas.
Negligent security, assault and premises liability cases tend to be complex and expensive. Our law firm has both the experience and the resources necessary to properly investigate, hire top experts, and take the discovery and depositions necessary to win these cases.
