Practice Areas
Automobile Accidents
Motor vehicle accidents are the primary source of personal injury claims in Florida. Whether the accident involves passenger cars, trucks, or other vehicles, the legal questions typically center on who was at fault, how serious the injuries are, and what the full cost of those injuries amounts to, including past and future medical care, lost income, and non-economic harm such as pain and suffering and diminished quality of life.
Florida’s personal injury law provides frameworks for recovering these damages. The firm has spent more than two decades pursuing automobile accident claims in Palm Beach County and surrounding areas, developing the familiarity with local courts, insurance defense tactics, and medical evidence analysis that effective personal injury representation requires.
Personal Injury
The personal injury practice extends beyond vehicle accidents to cover the broader range of injuries that people sustain due to others’ negligence. Neck, back, and head injuries resulting from accidents and from slip and fall incidents are specifically addressed. These injury types are common, can have lasting effects on a person’s capacity to work and function, and frequently require ongoing medical treatment.
Head injuries present particular challenges in personal injury litigation. The symptoms may not be immediately apparent, the connection between an accident and neurological changes may require expert medical testimony, and the long-term consequences may not be fully knowable at the time of settlement. The firm’s experience with head injury claims reflects familiarity with the medical and legal complexities these cases present.
Back and neck injuries similarly require careful medical documentation and expert support to establish both causation and the scope of the injury’s ongoing effects. Many back and neck injuries from accidents are dismissed or undervalued by insurance adjusters who have incentives to minimize payouts. The firm’s role is to ensure that the full picture of a client’s injury and its consequences is presented accurately and completely.
Premises Liability
Property owners in Florida have a legal duty to maintain reasonably safe conditions for people who enter their premises. When that duty is breached, and someone is injured as a result, a premises liability claim may arise.
The firm specifically handles premises liability cases involving improperly maintained sidewalks, stairways, and walkways. These are among the most common categories of premises liability injury, and they are also among the cases where property owners and their insurers are most likely to contest liability. The firm pursues these claims, establishing the relationship between the property owner’s failure and the injury sustained.
Wrongful Death
When a person is killed due to another’s negligence or wrongful act, Florida law permits certain family members to bring a wrongful death claim. These cases involve the same underlying legal analysis as personal injury claims, establishing fault and calculating damages, but they also address the specific categories of loss recognized under Florida’s wrongful death statute: loss of support, loss of companionship, mental pain and suffering of surviving family members, and medical and funeral expenses.
Wrongful death cases require handling that takes into account the grief and disorientation that surviving family members are experiencing while also maintaining the rigorous legal and evidentiary standards that these cases demand. The firm’s combination of legal skill and genuine personal attentiveness serves wrongful death clients in both dimensions.
Attorney Profile
Andrea D. McMillan has practiced law in Palm Beach County for more than 30 years and has concentrated her practice on personal injury matters for more than 20 of those years. That depth of experience represents a practitioner who has observed how Palm Beach County courts, juries, and insurers behave across two decades and thousands of cases, and who has calibrated her practice accordingly.
Her civic leadership as Chair of the Board of Directors for Clinics Can Help connects her professional work to the same community her legal practice serves. Clinics Can Help accepts gently used medical equipment and supplies and redistributes them to children and adults in Palm Beach County who need them but cannot afford them. In 2020, the organization provided approximately $1.7 million in equipment and supplies to approximately 3,000 people. McMillan’s role as Chair of the Board reflects a commitment of time and attention to the organization’s mission.
Client descriptions of Andrea McMillan are consistent across different voices: empathetic, caring, highly efficient, knowledgeable, and extremely responsive. The combination of empathy and efficiency is not common. Many practitioners are one or the other. McMillan has cultivated both, which is why clients experience her as someone who genuinely understands their situation and who acts on that understanding with urgency.
Ilene Serlin, Ph.D., a past president of the San Francisco Psychological Association, specifically highlighted McMillan’s skill, sensitivity, and strength as the qualities she observed in her representation. Those three qualities, the technical command, the human attunement, and the willingness to fight, form a specific profile of what effective personal injury representation looks like.

Client Focus
The firm’s 24/7 availability, the emphasis on responsiveness that appears repeatedly in client descriptions, and the 30-year Palm Beach County practice reflect a firm that takes the practical needs of injured clients seriously. People in the aftermath of accidents are dealing with pain, medical appointments, insurance calls, and the confusion that follows a sudden serious disruption to their lives.
