Q: How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Georgia?
A: Georgia law sets a statute of limitations of two years from the date of injury for most personal injury claims, so it’s important to act quickly.
Q: Do I need an attorney if I was partially at fault for my accident?
A: Georgia follows a modified comparative fault rule, meaning you may still recover damages even if you were partially responsible.
Q: How much does it cost to hire Van Sant Law?
A: We work on a contingency fee basis, so you pay nothing unless we win your case.
Q: What if the other party doesn’t have insurance?
A: We can help explore other sources of compensation, including uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage.
