    The Millar Law Firm focuses solely on personal injury law in the greater Atlanta area. During our over three decades of practice, we have recovered over $200 million in damages for our clients in the following areas:

    What Could I be Entitled to?

    When you’re injured due to an accident, we know it can be overwhelming. Bills begin to pile up and cause stress. At The Millar Law Firm, our goal is to take that stress off you so you can focus on recovery and the future. Our clients have received compensation for the following types of claims:

    • Medical Bills: The costs associated with your injury can extend far beyond your initial treatments. These expenses quickly accumulate, starting with immediate care and extending to ongoing surgeries and lifelong doctor visits, treatments, and rehabilitation costs.
    • Lost Wages: Did you know that while recovering from your injury, you might miss out on pay because you can’t work? This can add financial stress as you manage your expenses. We have worked with clients to recover lost wages.
    • Property Damage: If your personal property, such as your car, motorcycle, bike, or other personal property, is damaged in your accident, the replacement costs associated can become a burden. We’ve successfully recovered these expenses for our clients.
    • Pain and Suffering: If you were hurt because of the negligence of a business or another person, you may recover monetary damages for your pain and suffering. We know how to calculate the non-economic damages you may be entitled to.
    • Lifestyle Modifications: : Depending on the severity of your personal injury, you may need permanent changes to your daily personal care, transportation, and home to ensure accessibility. We know how to negotiate with insurance companies to get you the maximum compensation.

    When you work with The Millar Law Firm, we’ll make it our priority to make sure you’re compensated for all your lost wages, unexpected bills, and any other expenses you’ve had to deal with because of your personal injury.

    Sometimes, your injury may result in compensation that exceeds current expenses but is not something you should count on. Our goal is to cover your past and future expenses, not to make additional money. However, instances where you may receive additional compensation beyond covering expenses may include pain and suffering. Compensation for pain and suffering recognizes the injury’s impact on your life.

    Seeking additional compensation for pain and suffering can be challenging, as most insurance companies try to minimize these costs. This is why partnering with our Riverdale team of attorneys, with over three decades of experience fully dedicated to personal injury cases, is essential. We know personal injury law inside and out, and we’ve recovered over $200 million in compensation for our clients. We’re committed to working tirelessly to ensure you get every penny you deserve.

    How the Insurance Process Works

    It’s easy to let the importance of insurance slip from the top of your mind when you’re only using it for wellness checks or the occasional cold. But when you face a personal injury, you might worry about whether your insurance will cover the costs of extended hospital stays, surgeries, and ongoing treatments. Your insurance will do everything in its power to avoid making the payment. If they pay the bills, they typically seek reimbursement through subrogation once your personal injury claim has been settled. This allows them to recover the money from the at-fault party’s insurance.

    Subrogation occurs when an insurance company pays the claims for your damages. It then goes after the at-fault party, whether another insurance company, business, or individual, to recover those costs. 

    The process can be broken down into several steps, which typically look like this:

    • Initial Payment: Your insurance will first cover the expenses related to your injury, so you do not have to pay out-of-pocket.
    • Identification of At-fault Party: Your insurance company will then begin an investigation to determine whether the other party is at fault for the injury.
    • Subrogation: If another party is at fault, your insurance company will seek to recover these expenses from the other party’s insurance and receive reimbursement.

    The Millar Law Firm will help gather evidence and protect your financial interests during this subrogation process. Our goal is to alleviate the stressful aspects of dealing with insurance companies so you can prioritize your health and recovery.
