Navigating the aftermath of an injury can be daunting. You may find yourself pondering:

Rest assured, we’ve guided countless Atlanta residents through these very concerns. Let our legacy of success inspire confidence in your journey to justice.

Empowering Your Pursuit of Justice

Experiencing an injury due to another person’s or business’s negligence can be overwhelming, and while one might expect automatic compensation, the reality is different.

The onus of proving the case rests squarely on your shoulders. Insurance companies and at-fault parties often downplay or outright reject claims unless they are convinced that you possess the legal might to triumph over them in court.

Research consistently indicates a compelling truth: victims represented by attorneys tend to secure larger settlements—even after deducting legal fees—compared to what insurance companies typically offer those without legal representation. Allow us to be the force that amplifies your voice and ensures you get the justice you deserve.

Understanding the Worth of Your Injury Case

In Atlanta, the valuation of an injury case is primarily influenced by the severity of the injury and the associated current and future medical expenses. It’s undeniable: the experience and prowess of your attorney play a pivotal role in ensuring you receive the comprehensive value of your claim. Your representation can be the difference between a minimal settlement and receiving what you truly deserve.

What You Deserve from the Negligent Party

The consequences of someone else’s negligence shouldn’t fall on your shoulders. You are entitled to compensation for:

  • Both past and anticipated medical expenses.
  • Wages lost, encompassing the time you’ve been absent from work.
  • Damages to your vehicle, residence, or other personal property.
  • Impacts on your quality of life, both immediate and in the future.
  • Permanent injuries, disabilities, and scarring.
  • Emotional distress, including past and future pain and suffering.
  • Any additional repercussions stemming from the injury.

Exclusively Devoted to Personal Injury Law

While many law firms may claim experience in personal injury, a cursory glance at their websites often reveals a smattering of unrelated practice areas. These firms may juggle whatever comes their way, but not us. Since 1993, our unwavering focus has been on personal injury law. This dedication has not only set us apart but has been a cornerstone of our success.

Atlanta Is Our Turf

We’re not just acquainted with Atlanta; we know it inside out. From its courts to its intricate web of roads and highways, our experience spans every county in the metro area. While large national firms may struggle to find their bearings in the areas they claim to serve, our deep-rooted connection to Atlanta positions us perfectly to serve our clients with unmatched insight and efficiency.

Frequently Asked Questions about Personal Injury Claims

In Georgia, the majority of injury cases grant you a two-year window to file a lawsuit, whether in State or Federal Court. This time frame is commonly referred to as the statute of limitations. Yet, this doesn’t imply that you should be complacent. If you’ve suffered due to another’s negligence, it’s prudent to act promptly, lodging a claim against the culpable party or business. Swift action enables the defendant or their insurance provider to assess the situation and earmark the necessary funds. More often than not, cases are amicably settled well within the two-year threshold.

At The Millar Law Firm, our primary goal is your victory. This means we don’t bill you unless we secure compensation on your behalf, either through a settlement or at trial. You’re welcomed to a complimentary consultation, and our expert legal advice won’t cost you a dime. Even if you’re uncertain about the strength of your case, don’t hesitate to reach out. Our attorneys are here to discuss your situation, without any charges or obligations, be it over the phone or face-to-face.

A proficient personal injury attorney meticulously prepares each case as though it’s destined for the courtroom. In reality, our firm, much like other esteemed injury law practices, successfully settles the lion’s share of cases without the need for a lawsuit. And even when we do proceed to file, many cases are resolved well before reaching the trial stage.
However, the distinction between a substantial, just settlement and a mediocre outcome frequently hinges on two factors: rigorous preparation and the firm’s reputation. Insurance adjusters and defense attorneys seldom put forth their best offers—except in cases where policy limits are involved—unless they’re convinced that both you and your legal team have the prowess to challenge them in court and emerge victorious.
Our philosophy is straightforward: every case we take on is prepared with the precision and rigor needed for a courtroom battle. This dual-pronged approach positions us to accept a fair settlement when it’s on the table, while also ensuring we’re primed to fiercely advocate for you if the scales of justice aren’t tilting in your favor.

In personal injury cases, the duration it takes to receive a settlement can vary widely and hinges on several critical elements. These can range from the severity of your injuries to the insurance company’s stance on liability (or fault) and even the specifics of the insurance policy in question. As a general guideline, once a settlement has been agreed upon, you can typically expect the settlement check to be in your hands within a few weeks to a month after finalizing the agreement with the insurance company.

Personal Injury Cases and Claims We Handle 

Our firm regularly handles car accident claims. Many of these accidents happen due to rear-end collisions, head- on crashes, failures to yield, speeding or driving too fast for conditions, or distracted or reckless driving. In most of these cases, an attorney can help you immediately by offering advice about what to do first after an accident and how to avoid common errors and legal pitfalls, such as giving an un-represented recorded statement to the at-fault driver’s insurance adjuster. 

Large truck accidents involving semi-trucks and 18- wheelers in or near Atlanta should be investigated immediately, before evidence can disappear. Call an attorney experienced in trucking cases as soon as possible. Even if your truck wreck happened weeks or months ago, there is still much that can be done to investigate and prove the fault of the truck driver or the carrier. Very few Atlanta law firms can match the twenty years of experience we have in handling catastrophic injuries and wrongful death trucking cases. 

Motorcycle accidents are not simply two-wheeled car accidents. Many motorists do not see the bike-riding victims they injure or kill, and then try to blame the biker. To make matters worse, the injuries suffered in motorcycle crashes are often much worse than other motor-vehicle accidents due to the lack of protection surrounding the motorcyclist. We have recovered multi- million dollar settlements and verdicts for head injuries, paralysis, and serious back and neck injuries resulting from motorcycle and car or truck collisions.
