Why The Millar Law Firm is the Right Choice for Your Stockbridge Accident

When you need a law firm to represent you after a car accident, you need someone who will take your case from beginning to settlement or trial. The Millar Law Firm has a dedicated team of legal experts who will explain the process to you from start to finish.

How the Process Works When You Hire Our Law Firm

To begin, we review the facts surrounding the accident. During the initial consultation, we may help file your insurance claim and ensure you’ve submitted the proper documents. Since Georgia is an “at-fault” state, proving you did not cause the accident is essential.
We gather the police and medical reports, witness testimony, and other documentary evidence to strengthen your case. The more evidence on your behalf, the better settlement you’re likely to receive.

How Our Attorneys Have Recovered Over 200 Million for Accident Victims

Although most accident cases settle during negotiations, we prepare every case as if heading for trial. When our attorneys head for negotiations, the opposing counsel knows we have all the information we need to fight and win your case. This puts us in a good position to negotiate the best possible settlement for you.

The Millar Law Firm Focuses on Getting Accident Victims Like Yourself Maximum Compensation

The first question everyone asks their personal injury attorney is “How much is my car accident claim worth?” That question is difficult to answer. The purpose of a personal injury claim is making victims whole and enabling them to move on with their lives. A broken leg has a different value than major head trauma.

At The Millar Law Firm, we want all our clients to get the maximum compensation they need to live their best possible lives after the accident. This may include:

Medical costs, including any future care, rehabilitation, and surgeries
Lost wages, lost opportunities, and lost future income if you cannot work
Pain and suffering, a shorthand way of saying the emotional toll of being seriously injured, suffering physical trauma, and having to adjust to the changes in your life.
Compensation for loss of enjoyment of life, loss of consortium (meaning loss of family member support) and other intangible but important losses

Our Past Clients Continue to Refer us to Family and Friends

At the Millar Law Firm, we stay in touch with our former clients. We know they appreciate the work we’ve done for them, because they refer family and friends to us for their legal needs. Our clients know we’ll do our best for their relatives and friends, just as we did for them.

Although we hope our former clients don’t need our personal injury assistance again because of another car accident, we are always there for their family and friends in similar situations. Giving our clients the best possible outcome is why the Millar Law Firm is here today.

Car Accident FAQS

After a major car accident, victims have many questions. Some of the most common include “Do I need an attorney?” and “What do I do next?” We’ll answer some of your other questions here as well.

How Long Do You Have to Settle a Georgia Car Accident Claim or File a Lawsuit?

The statute of limitations (the time you have to file a lawsuit) for personal injury claims in Georgia is two years from the date of the accident. If you don’t file a lawsuit before then, you lose the right to recover compensation.

Do I really need an attorney?

In a simple fender-bender, you might not need a lawyer. Still, it’s always a good idea to have an attorney like the Millar Law Firm look over your insurance claim before you send it in, and review any settlement offers before you accept them. For any complicated accident case, an attorney is always in your best interest.

What types of car accidents do we take on?

The Millar Law Firm handles all types of vehicle accidents, large and small.

Vehicle vs. pedestrian and vehicle vs. bicycle are as much motor vehicle accidents as any other car crash.
Distracted driving whether caused by texting, eating, or talking on the phone. Distracted driving is a criminal offense as well as a cause of negligence.
Front-end and rear-end collisions often occur at stoplights when a driver follows too closely and then must stop abruptly for a red light. Tailgaters try to blame the person in front for the accident.
Intersection and T-Bone accidents can be due to careless driving or failure to yield. They can also be due to obstructed signs, poorly-timed traffic signals, and other third-party causes.
Interstate and State Highway accidents not only involve wrong-way drivers, failure to merge, and speeding, they can also involve commercial drivers and 18-wheelers. These are some of the worst accidents and require knowledge of commercial insurance.
Impaired drivers. Dealing with drunk or intoxicated drivers means handling not only a personal injury claim but also coping with a simultaneous criminal investigation. The Millar Law Firm knows how to work with law enforcement agencies to ensure your case does not get lost in the shuffle.

What is included in my settlement?

In a personal injury lawsuit, “damages” refers to the compensation paid to victims in a settlement. There are two types of damages you can recover, economic damages and non-economic damages.

Economic damages are those that can be readily calculated. These include:

Lost wages and future income due to recovery from injuries,
Hospital bills, including any future expenses for rehabilitation or long-term care
Property damage not covered by other insurance
Funeral costs or ambulance bills

Non-economic damages are less easy to determine but affect accident victims just as much. These include:

Pain and suffering
Loss of enjoyment of life
Emotional distress
Loss of consortium or loss of companionship

In very rare cases, if the other party’s actions were extremely reckless or negligent, a judge may award punitive damages. This seldom happens unless the judge decides the other party should be punished for wrongful behavior.

What does it mean that I don’t have to pay any fees unless we win?

At the Millar Law Firm, we know that you’re already dealing with major expenses. We take all personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis. A contingency fee agreement means you don’t pay us anything up front. Attorney’s fees and costs become part of the settlement amount.

How long will my case take?

It’s hard to know how long a case will take. On average, a personal injury claim takes about one to three years once it is filed with the court. At the Millar Law Firm, we work hard to develop a winning case, so the other party has an incentive to settle quickly. We take care of the legal work so you can focus on recovering and getting back to your life.
