Your Questions, Answered

Have questions? We are here to help. Still have questions or can't find the answer you need? Give us a call at today!

  • What Does It Cost to Hire an Accident Attorney?

    Our firm typically works on a contingency fee basis. This means you don't pay any fees upfront. Instead, our fees are a percentage of the compensation we recover for you. If we don't win your case, you don't owe us anything; however, you will be responsible for any case-related expenses, such as court filing fees or expert witness costs.

    We also offer free initial consultations so you can discuss your case with our attorneys without any financial commitment.

  • What Types of Damages Are Available After a Car Accident?

    After a car accident, various types of damages may be available to victims seeking compensation. These damages can be categorized into economic and non-economic damages, each addressing different aspects of the victim's losses.

    Economic damages include quantifiable financial losses, such as medical bills, rehabilitation costs, lost wages, and property damage.

    On the other hand, non-economic damages cover intangible losses, including pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life, and potential loss of companionship.

    In certain cases, punitive damages may also be pursued if the responsible party's conduct was especially egregious or reckless, serving to punish the wrongdoer and deter similar behavior in the future.

  • I Suffered Injuries in a Personal Injury Accident. What Should I Do?

    If you were injured as a result of someone else's negligence, it is normal and understandable to feel overwhelmed and unsure of your next steps. In addition to lingering physical pain, you may be worried about the financial implications of your injuries.

    Deciding to consult with Van Sant Law, a respected Georgia personal injury law firm, can help ease some of the stress you are experiencing. Before accepting an offer from an insurance company or signing anything, seek the advice of a skilled attorney at Van Sant Law. The reality is that the other party and their insurer do not have your best interests in mind. We can help you protect your rights as you recover from the accident.

  • Is There a Time Limit for Filing an Injury Claim?

    In Georgia, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims is generally two years from the date of the accident. This means that you have a finite window of time to file a lawsuit seeking compensation for your injuries.

    It is critical to adhere to this deadline, as failing to file within this statutory period can bar you from pursuing any form of legal remedy in the future.

  • How Can an Athens Personal Injury Attorney Help Me?

    A personal injury accident can shatter your sense of normalcy. It's not just the physical injuries you're dealing with; the emotional trauma and financial burdens can feel overwhelming. At Van Sant Law, we're here to lend a compassionate ear, understand your unique struggles, and offer the steady guidance you need to navigate this challenging chapter.
