    How Our Jonesboro Georgia Car Accident Attorneys Can Help You Today

    Free Consultation and Detailed Case Review

    You deserve to be heard. Contact us today and receive a free consultation with a lawyer who specializes in car accident law. We will review and explain the strength of your case and discuss your legal options for obtaining the maximum compensation for your accident.

    Georgia Car Accident Legal Fees

    How Much Does a Georgia Car Accident Lawyer Cost to Hire?

    Our consultations are free. The Millar Law Firm handles auto accident claims and cases on a contingency fee basis, which means that our lawyers do not charge you for a consultation or up-front, but will be paid based on a percentage of the amount we recover for you. This amount is usually one-third of the net amount we recover for you, after disbursement.

    How to Choose the Best Car Accident Attorney Near you in Jonesboro or Clayton County, Georgia?

    When choosing your car accident lawyer for your case, it is important to choose an attorney and Atlanta law firm that has many years of experience in handling car accident cases. This means extensive experience in preparing and trying cases. Many lawyers and firms, especially big “TV” advertisers may claim to be Trial Lawyers, but have never actually set foot inside a courtroom or tried a case to a Jury.

    Although settling cases is important (we will usually attempt to settle your case before filing a lawsuit), filing and taking cases to trial is crucial to getting a great settlement. Insurance companies know which Atlanta law firms are willing to go to trial, and generally offer more money to settle a case if they know the lawyer will take the case all the way to trial. By choosing The Millar Law Firm, you can be confident that the at-fault driver’s insurance company is aware of our reputation for filing suit, taking cases to trial, and winning when an adequate offer to settle is not made.

    We encourage anyone reviewing lawyers for a car accident case to review our case results. We think you will be impressed.

    Should I Hire a Lawyer for my Car Accident?

    If you or someone you are helping have been injured in a car accident, consulting a personal injury lawyer is never a bad idea. We would advise most people not to give a statement to a representative of the defendant’s (at-fault driver’s) insurance company without first speaking with an attorney. The insurance adjuster may sound friendly, but he or she is not trying to help you. Any statement you give will be recorded and most likely used to try to reduce your claim or against you at trial. On the other hand, if you were not hurt and only your car was damaged, you may not need an injury lawyer.

    How Will I be Compensated and Will My Case Settle?

    With our three decades of experience, we have learned that thorough investigation of both the factual and medical side of a car accident significantly increases our chances of a strong settlement. We discover the facts that help strengthen the legal claim. We also review and monitor all of your medical care and work with your doctors, expert accountants and economists, and other professionals to evaluate all of your harms and losses, including pain and suffering, lost pay, and the cost of your past and future medical care. When approaching an auto insurance company to negotiate, we present the strengths of your case. Our thorough investigations enhance our chances of achieving a higher settlement.

    Car Accident Cases We Handle:

    What Types of Car Accident Cases does The Millar Law Firm Handle?

    Our Atlanta law firm specializes in car, truck, and motorcycle accident cases and claims. Cases that we handle include:

    • Rear-End accidents, crashes and collisions
    • Wrongful death car and truck accidents
    • Victims of drunk driving accidents
    • Pedestrian accidents, when hit by negligent drivers
    • Accidents caused by distracted driving
    • Improper turning
    • Turning in front of oncoming traffic
    • Motorcycle crashes and accidents
    • Commercial truck and van accidents and collisions

    How Do you Decide What a Georgia Car Accident Case is Worth?

    The value of Jonesboro GA area car accident cases is based generally on the severity of your injury and how clear the facts are. After investigating the case, our Jonesboro car accident lawyers will research cases similar to yours to gain valuable insights into what other cases in the area have settled for or received Jury verdicts for. Of course, those are not the only factors involved. Before attempting to settle your case or deciding to proceed to a Jury Trial, we will discuss all the strengths of your case with you.

    Car Accident Damages and Compensation

    What Kind and Amount of Damages or Compensation Can I Recover in a Jonesboro, GA Car Accident Cased?

    For your Clayton County or Jonesboro, Georgia area car accident, we always seek to recover both your pain and suffering and your financial losses. This means recovering your medical expenses (medical bills and co-pays and other expenses), lost pay and income for the past and the future, loss of time from work, future medical expenses, future inability to work or earn as much money, damages for your mental and physical pain, and when appropriate loss of consortium and punitive damages (in cases of drunk or reckless drivers).

    Can a Georgia Lawyer Help to Arrange Medical Treatment and Communicate with Medical Professionals?

    Yes, and No. Your health and wellbeing are important to us and we want to ensure you receive proper medical treatment after your car accident. However, we cannot arrange or direct your medical care. If you do not have or know of a doctor or clinic to treat you, or have medical insurance, we may be able to recommend several clinics in the area that will provide care now in return for your promise to pay them at a later date when your case resolves. It will be up to you to select the doctor and the appropriate care. Our legal team will gather your records and interview your medical professionals to understand the impact of the accident on your life and future health needs.

    How does a Jonesboro, Georgia Lawyer Investigate All Available Auto Insurance Coverage Options?

    In Georgia, all drivers are required to have automobile liability insurance coverage, but not all drivers follow the law. The first place we look is to the insurance company that is identified by the police at the scene of the accident. We will also search for any other insurance coverage within the defendant at-fault driver’s household or business. Finding sufficient auto insurance coverage can be challenging when the at-fault driver is underinsured. Your legal team will research and identify all available insurance coverage options, including uninsured and underinsured motorist coverages, to help maximize your compensation.

    How Do Georgia Accident Lawyers Collect and Preserve Evidence?

    Evidence is critical for a successful settlement. Our Jonesboro car accident lawyers will diligently collect and preserve all necessary evidence, beginning with the law enforcement investigation – such as police reports, measurements, photographs, body cam and patrol car recordings, and 911 calls. We will also seek security footage from nearby businesses, witness statements, take photos of the accident scene, or and use expert analysis from an accident reconstruction specialist.

    How Do Lawyers Make an Accurate Accident Cost Analysis?

    Accurately calculating the total cost of an accident is another area where our Jonesboro car accident lawyers excel. We identify and collect all expenses, including lost income, medical bills, and pain and suffering (based on data gathered from past settlements and verdicts), and present them in a comprehensive demand package to the insurance company when negotiating settlement, or present them as evidence to a Jury in the courtroom. Many of our calculations will be supported by expert testimony from economists, life care planners, and medical specialists.

    How Do Attorneys Communicate and Negotiate With the Auto Insurance Company

    Our Jonesboro, Georgia car accident lawyers communicate and negotiate directly with the at-fault driver’s insurance company on your behalf. We present compelling evidence and arguments to secure the best possible compensation, allowing you to focus on your recovery.

    What Happens if There is No Settlement?

    If the auto insurance company does not agree to offer a fair amount in settlement, we will consider taking the case to court. Our Jonesboro car accident lawyers review your options with you. We have extensive trial experience and are willing to take an auto insurance company to court when necessary to get you the best result.

    What Makes Our Jonesboro Law Firm Stand Out from the Rest?

    We understand that there are other Jonesboro law firms that you can choose from. We will work hard to earn your business. Here are some reasons why you should consider us:

    We Are Committed to Offering the Best Possible Client Service

    We do not believe in long hold times or leaving clients uninformed about their Jonesboro car accident cases. Our internal procedures ensure that you receive the highest quality service. We hate hold times, and do everything to avoid them. We keep our clients informed throughout the entire process, educating them about their case as we work towards maximum compensation. We do everything in our power to provide you with the best possible legal service.

    We Have Over Three Decades of Experience

    The Millar Law Firm has been engaged in personal injury law since 1993. Our experience has been key to our success. We are one of the few Jonesboro personal injury law firms that has focused exclusively on personal injury law for over three decades.

    We Know Jonesboro, and the Surrounding Areas

    It gives us an edge having experience with the area. We have been in Jonesboro for over three decades now. We know Clayton and Henry County very well. We know the roads, highways, traffic patterns, areas known for crashes, laws, court system, local insurance agents, you name it. We know how bad Tara Boulevard can get. We know that the I-75 constantly has accidents on it. It really does give us an edge.

    We Don’t Charge Any Fees Unless You Win Money

    There are no upfront fees. Don’t let legal fees stop you from seeking advice after a car crash. Many car accident lawyers in Georgia, including ours, work on a contingency basis, meaning we only get paid if you win your case. Our fees typically range from 33.33% if settled without filing a lawsuit. Complex cases, such as those involving multiple vehicles, commercial trucks, or severe injuries, may have different fee structures.

    Be cautious about hiring a “discount” car accident lawyer. Some attorneys in the Jonesboro area advertise “cheap” or 25% legal fees, but remember, you often get what you pay for.

    Our Clients Refer Us to Friends and Family

    With three decades of experience, we have a long history of satisfied clients in the Jonesboro region. Our past and current clients frequently refer us to their family and friends when they experience a car accident. Helping friends and family sets us apart, as we don’t need to advertise as aggressively as other Atlanta law firms. Instead, we focus on providing the best possible client experience.

    I recently had the pleasure of working with Ashlei and Johnathan, and they are both wonderful people to work with—so positive and energetic. They really know their stuff. Highly recommend!
