Why Hire The Millar Law Firm for Your Car Accident Case
Headquartered in neighboring Jonesboro, The Millar Law Firm has been assisting Riverdale residents who have been injured in car accidents since 1993.
If you were involved in a crash caused by someone else’s negligence, you have the right to be made whole through compensation. Our firm has recovered over $100 million in compensation for car accident victims.
Small Firm, Big Results
While many large firms in Atlanta tout impressive statistics, bigger isn’t always better in injury law cases. Over the years, we’ve remained a small firm dedicated to serving our local community in Clayton County, Georgia, with a focused and personalized approach to legal representation.
Specialized in Injury Law Since 1993
Since our establishment in 1993, we have specialized exclusively in injury law. This singular focus for nearly 31 years has allowed The Millar Law Firm to develop deep expertise, enabling us to thoroughly investigate each case and achieve the best possible outcomes for our clients.
Personalized Attention for Every Case
Unlike the large law firms you see advertised on TV, which often employ a “one size fits all” strategy due to their high case volume, we understand that no two vehicle accidents are exactly alike. Your case requires individualized attention, and you need an attorney who can dedicate the time to focus on your unique needs.
Dedicated Client Care
At The Millar Law Firm, we’ve intentionally stayed small to provide each client with the attention they deserve. By getting to know our clients and their cases personally, we can secure greater compensation for their accidents.
We don’t just practice law in Riverdale and its surrounding areas; we also give back to the community. Recognizing that our success is rooted in the Clayton County community, we actively work to strengthen our relationship with residents and proudly support local businesses, charities, and other organizations.
How a Riverdale Car Accident Lawyer Can Help You
Whether your accident was minor or severe, you may face high costs for various reasons, and these expenses are only increasing in the Atlanta area. These costs can include body shop repairs, covering the car’s value, a rental car, an ambulance ride, an ER visit, surgery, follow-up care, and more. This doesn’t even account for non-economic losses such as pain and suffering and the impact on your quality of life.
If the insurance company doesn’t compensate you fully, you end up paying out of pocket. Insurance companies are rarely willing to cover the full cost of an accident because it isn’t in their best interest, which is why you need someone advocating for you.
An experienced Riverdale car accident lawyer can build a strong legal claim by collecting evidence, interviewing witnesses, proving the other driver’s fault, and consulting experts to calculate an accurate total cost of the crash. Armed with this information, our attorneys can negotiate with the insurance company from a position of strength to ensure you receive the compensation you deserve.
Other Important Reasons to Hire a Riverdale Car Accident Lawyer
Car accident cases may involve disputes over which driver’s actions caused the collision. Georgia is a comparative negligence state, which means that you can still seek compensation even if you were partly at fault. How much you receive depends on your degree, or percentage, of fault. If your degree of fault is found to be 50 percent or higher, you cannot recover monetary damages.
Hiring a lawyer to prove your claim can help reduce the percentage of negligence you are assessed. By showing reduced negligence, there’s also a chance of removing a traffic ticket connected to the accident.
In addition, reducing your percentage of fault decreases the likelihood of your insurance premiums going up. In the rare case that your carrier seeks to cancel your insurance because of an accident, proving you were not at fault can save your coverage.
Common Vehicle Accidents That We Cover
Since 1993, The Millar Law Firm has handled a wide range of vehicle accidents, including:
Truck Accidents
Many large trucks pass through Atlanta on the interstate system. Their size and limited braking capabilities can cause devastating accidents for drivers in smaller vehicles.
Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcyclists are particularly vulnerable due to high speeds and low visibility. Injuries in these accidents vary widely, as does the compensation received.
Rollover Accidents
When a car flips over in an accident, the risk of serious injuries or paralysis increases significantly, potentially entitling the victim to substantial compensation.
Hit and Run Accidents
In hit-and-run cases, drivers often flee the scene or claim someone else was driving. If the driver is found, they may be liable for punitive damages. If not, you may pursue an uninsured motorist claim.
Pedestrian Accidents
When a pedestrian is hit by a car, the driver is often at fault. However, if the pedestrian is found partially responsible, their compensation may be reduced according to their fault percentage.
Fender Benders (Rear-End Accidents)
Victims of fender benders often report feeling “fine” initially, but these collisions can cause delayed symptoms from concussions, spinal injuries, and traumatic brain injuries.
Red Light or Stop Sign Intersection Accidents
Intersection accidents can be complex, with many at-fault drivers claiming they had a green light or blaming the victim. Investigations into traffic signal data or vehicle data are often necessary to establish fault.
Lane Change Accidents
When drivers pull out in front of oncoming cars, drift into another lane, or make illegal turns, they can be held liable for any resulting damages.
Sideswipe Accidents
Sideswipe accidents can range from minor car damage to severe injuries caused by aggressive drivers, who may face punitive verdicts.
Speeding and Reckless Driving Accidents
Accidents caused by reckless driving, speeding, or driving while distracted or intoxicated can result in serious or fatal injuries.
Head-On Collisions
Head-on collisions, often caused by reckless or impaired driving, can lead to severe or fatal injuries.
Drunk Driving Accidents
DUI cases frequently result in large settlements or verdicts because drunk driving is considered a reckless and punitive act that can cause severe injuries.
Fatal Accidents
To secure full compensation for the victim’s family, a wrongful death claim must be supported by a network of experts.
Paralyzing Accidents
Catastrophic spinal injuries from crashes require evidence proving fault and the current and future value of losses, gathered from expert witnesses, medical providers, life-care planners, and vocational and economic specialists.
I-75 Accidents
Due to Riverdale’s proximity to I-75, accidents caused by heavy traffic, high speeds, and large vehicles on the interstate are common for its residents.
Other Unique Accidents
Our firm has handled a variety of other accident cases, including multiple car pileups, T-bone collisions, road rage incidents, and wrecks caused by defective vehicle parts.
