Have You Been Hurt In Sandy Springs? We’re Here To Help You Recover

Being injured because of someone else’s carelessness or negligence leaves you feeling hurt and confused. You can’t work, you have stacks of medical bills, and insurance agents are calling with promises of quick settlements. All you want is to get back to your usual routine.

At The Millar Law Firm, our Sandy Springs personal injury lawyers know the pain and anxiety that a serious personal injury causes. We’ve been fighting for our clients in Georgia for more than 30 years, and we want to see you get the compensation you deserve for your injuries, so you can get back to living your life.

Our Promise: We Fight For Maximum Compensation For You

Insurance companies want you to settle for the least amount they can get away with. Many accident victims don’t realize they are entitled to more than just the cost of their emergency medical bills. Insurers will offer a quick settlement that covers the cost of your initial treatment, leaving you without payment for all the other costs of your injury.

The Sandy Springs attorneys at The Millar Law Firm know you’re legally entitled to full compensation from the insurance company for all damages related to your injury. We ensure that your claim includes a demand for all of them.

• Economic damages. The financial costs of your injury such as current and future medical bills, lost wages and future lost income, and out-of-pocket costs and deductibles
• Non–economic damages. The emotional and psychological costs of your injury, like pain and suffering, emotional trauma, loss of quality of life, and loss of consortium.
• Punitive damages. In cases where the at-fault party’s actions are especially egregious or reckless, judges can award punitive damages. Punitive damages are seldom awarded.

Having an attorney at your side during settlement negotiations helps ensure all these damages are included in the final offer.

What advantages does a local Sandy Springs personal injury lawyer offer over a national firm?

Some big-name law firms advertise all over the country. You may see their billboards and hear their radio jingles on your daily commute. What you may not realize is that these firms are based in other states and contract with local firms to manage the details.

In other words, the client hires the “big name” and then ends up working with a local attorney anyway. However, the national firm still controls the case strategy and client communications—and often the settlement negotiations. The client may not even know their actual attorney is right up the street.

When you use The Millar Law Firm, you cut out the extra step. Instead of dealing with an attorney via remote control, so to speak, you talk directly to an attorney who knows your case and is working for you, not for an out-of-state law firm.

National firms are useful when you are joining a class action lawsuit or mass tort. These large cases require the logistics and money available to a national firm with offices in every state.

The Millar Law Firm’s No-Win No-Fee Guarantee Explained

One of the first things any client asks an attorney is, “How much is this going to cost?” When you come to The Millar Law Firm with a personal injury claim, the answer is: Nothing. You don’t pay unless we win or settle your case. But what does that really mean?

In a personal injury case, we work on a contingency fee agreement. A contingency fee means that you pay nothing up front. The attorney will review your case and provide an estimate of the time it will take to settle your claim and the amount you can expect.

The agreement will specify the percentage The Millar Law Firm will receive from the settlement, and what percentage we will receive if the case goes to trial. If the case goes to trial and we lose, you pay nothing. You may still need to pay any fees and court costs, such as filing and expert witness fees.

The Georgia State Bar regulates contingency fees. According to Bar regulations, we must give you a written statement explaining how we determined your contingency fee.

Personal Injury FAQs for Sandy Springs Residents

How do I know if my injury is serious enough to pursue a personal injury claim?

If your injury affects your daily routine and was caused by another person’s carelessness or negligence, you should consider filing a personal injury claim. If you’re unable to work, perform daily life activities, or have chronic pain, you may have a valid claim.

What if my case isn’t worth a million dollars, will a personal injury lawyer take on my claim?

Yes. Most claims aren’t worth millions of dollars. During the initial review, the attorney will evaluate your claim and let you know if your case requires legal assistance. Some claims can be managed without the help of an attorney.

If my case doesn’t involve a life-changing injury is compensation still possible?

Yes. “Life-changing” does not mean it must change your life permanently. If the injury prevents you from working for any period of time, leaves you with unpaid medical bills, and causes you pain and suffering, you are entitled to compensation for that injury.

Can I still pursue a personal injury claim if the at-fault party has minimal insurance coverage?

If the at-fault party has minimal or no insurance, you should contact an attorney at once.

In a personal injury case, your healthcare provider sends their bills to the at-fault party’s insurer. Your attorney can explain this process better when you contact them.

If they have no insurance, you can still recover damages, but the process is more complicated. Your options may include:

• Suing the at-fault party directly to recover your damages. This is an option if the other party has assets that can cover your costs and lost wages.
• Seeking coverage through your own insurance via an uninsured/underinsured policyholder clause. Many auto insurance policies have this clause for accidents, and your attorney will check to see if your policy has one.
• Third-party lawsuits against other parties involved in your accident. Your attorney can advise you on whether this is possible. For instance, if your accident was a commercial vehicle accident, you may have a claim against the at-fault driver, but the trucking company, the shipping company, and the maintenance company could be involved.

High Risk Roads in Sandy Springs: Staying Safe on Your Commute

The Millar Law Firm wants to keep our clients safe before accidents happen. Avoiding dangerous intersections and other high-risk roadways can reduce your chances of being involved in a serious accident.

What is a high-risk road?

Most roads will see one or two accidents every year. These can be as simple as someone backing into another car, or as serious as someone blowing a stoplight and hitting a pedestrian. When one road or intersection has an unusual number of accidents of any kind in a year, it is considered a “high-risk road.”

In Sandy Springs, the majority of accidents take place at busy intersections of Roswell Road, the freeway interchanges of the I-285 and GA Route 400, and heavily traveled surface streets like Mt. Vernon Highway and Peachtree Dunwoody.

Not surprisingly, most of the serious and fatal accidents cluster around the on- and off-ramps of the freeways at the main streets and at the interchange. Most of these are single-vehicle and distracted driving incidents.

City Findings and Resident Feedback

The city performed a crash analysis based in part on residents’ feedback and found that people wanted some specific responses from the city to make their roads safer:

• Improving broken sidewalks and creating mid-block crosswalks in high pedestrian traffic areas
• Installing traffic signals in high congestion areas, like those around the intersection of Roswell Road and Long Island Drive
• Reducing speed limits and increasing enforcement of limits
• Traffic calming systems at neighborhood entrances to prevent traffic jams
