Experienced, Competent and Proven Accident Attorneys
Car accident victims suffer from agonizing worries, fears, injuries and numerous other problems. The Millen Attorneys at the Merritt & Merritt Law Firm are dedicated to relieving you of the stress of trying to get justice and damages from the at-fault party or parties and making sure you are fully compensated for your injuries. Helping people recover from auto accident injuries has been our main focus for over 40 years.
Merritt & Merritt Law Firm has helped thousands of clients collect millions of dollars in settlements and verdicts. We treat all our clients—large cases and small ones—with the care and attention they deserve although each case is different.
To make things easy for you after your car accident injury, we can even help get your vehicle replaced or repaired—a service we offer at a nominal fee. Many law firms do not offer this service because they are only interested in the big dollar from your personal injury claim.
We Specialize in Auto Accidents
Merritt & Merritt Law Firm has an extensive network of medical providers and investigators. Once you become a client, we put you in the hands of our capable legal staff including a case manager who is the liaison between you and your attorney throughout the early phase of your case. As your case progresses and your medical treatment reaches a conclusion, your case is then assigned to a skilled Millen car accident and injury attorney.
Throughout the process, you will be kept aware of the status of your claim; however, you can always call us with questions. We work hard to make your experience with us and with your accident claim as less stressful as possible.
All automobile accident cases are handled on a contingency fee basis. Meaning we only get paid out of the proceeds we recover for you. Put another way, you pay only if you win.
What If the Other Driver Does Not Have Insurance?
Georgia law requires all drivers to have insurance in the event of an accident. Specifically, drivers are required to carry bodily injury liability insurance in the amount of $25,000 per person and $50,000 per incident, and property damage liability insurance in the amount of $25,000 per incident. Despite this legal requirement, some drivers may choose to drive without insurance, or with lower levels of coverage than legally mandated. In fact, it is estimated that approximately 12%, or 1 out of 8, Georgia drivers do not carry the required amount of insurance.
If you’re involved in an accident with an uninsured driver in Georgia, you may still have options for recovering compensation. One option is to file a claim with your own insurance company under your uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage. This coverage is designed to protect you in the event that you’re involved in an accident with a driver who doesn’t have insurance or has insufficient coverage. Another option is to file a lawsuit against the uninsured driver. The odds are, however, that an uninsured motorist does not have the financial resources to compensate you. Still, you may be able to place a lien on the driver’s party, or have the driver’s wages garnished to satisfy what you are owed.

Legal Tip:
You only have to give a statement to your insurance company, not the insurance company of the other driver. Before you agree to give any recorded interview, make sure you have your attorney present.
