Helping Injury Victims Throughout Brookhaven

Brookhaven is one of metro Atlanta’s busiest communities, with major roads like Peachtree Road, Ashford Dunwoody Road, Buford Highway, and nearby interstate access. With constant traffic, active neighborhoods, retail centers, and construction, accidents happen far too often — and the injuries can be severe.

Van Sant Law represents Brookhaven injury victims harmed in incidents, including:

  • Motor vehicle accidents
  • Truck and commercial vehicle accidents
  • Bicycle and pedestrian accidents
  • Premises liability (slip and fall, unsafe property conditions)
  • Medical malpractice
  • Nursing home abuse and neglect
  • Defective products and dangerous drugs
  • Dog bites and animal attacks
  • Wrongful death claims

If your injury was caused by another person, company, or institution failing to act responsibly, our firm can help you hold them accountable.

What to Do After a Personal Injury in Brookhaven

If you’ve been injured, the steps you take early can significantly affect your case:

  1. Seek medical care immediately, even if injuries seem minor
  2. Document the incident (photos, reports, witness names if possible)
  3. Avoid speaking with insurance adjusters without legal guidance
  4. Consult a personal injury lawyer to understand your rights and options

Insurance companies often act quickly to limit their financial exposure. Having an experienced attorney involved early helps protect your claim and preserves critical evidence.

Why Choose Van Sant Law for a Brookhaven Personal Injury Claim

Not all personal injury firms operate the same way. At Van Sant Law, we believe strong preparation and personal service make the difference.

  • Trial-ready representation from day one
  • Direct involvement from attorney David Van Sant — not case managers
  • Former insurance defense insight that allows us to anticipate tactics
  • Millions recovered for injured clients across Georgia
  • No legal fees unless compensation is recovered
  • Clear, honest communication throughout your case

Insurance companies know which firms are prepared to go the distance. We prepare every case as if it will be tried — even if it ultimately resolves through settlement — because preparation drives results.

Understanding Personal Injury Compensation in Georgia

A successful personal injury claim may allow you to recover compensation for:

  • Past and future medical expenses
  • Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional distress
  • Permanent disability or disfigurement
  • Loss of enjoyment of life
  • Wrongful death damages for surviving family members

Georgia follows a modified comparative negligence rule, meaning you may still recover compensation as long as you are less than 50% at fault. Our investigative approach is designed to minimize fault exposure and maximize recovery.

Brookhaven Personal Injury FAQs

How do I know if I have a personal injury case in Brookhaven?

You may have a valid personal injury claim if you were injured because another person, business, or entity acted negligently or failed to act responsibly. Common examples include car accidents, unsafe property conditions, medical errors, or defective products. A personal injury attorney can evaluate whether the facts of your case meet Georgia’s legal standards for compensation.

How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Georgia?

In most cases, Georgia law allows two years from the date of the injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. Some claims may have shorter deadlines depending on who caused the injury or where it occurred. Waiting too long can permanently bar your claim, so it’s important to speak with a lawyer as soon as possible.

What if I was partially at fault for my injury?

Georgia follows a modified comparative negligence rule. You may still recover compensation as long as you were less than 50% at fault for the accident. However, your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault. Proper investigation and evidence development can make a significant difference in how fault is assigned.

What types of compensation are available in a personal injury case?

Compensation may include medical expenses, lost wages, reduced earning capacity, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and long-term disability. In wrongful death cases, surviving family members may also recover damages for the full value of the deceased’s life under Georgia law.

Should I talk to the insurance company after an injury?

Insurance adjusters often contact injured people quickly, but their goal is to limit what the company pays — not to protect you. Statements made early can be used against you later. Speaking with a personal injury lawyer before giving recorded statements or accepting settlement offers helps protect your rights.

How much does it cost to hire a personal injury lawyer?

Van Sant Law handles personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay no upfront costs and no legal fees unless compensation is recovered. This allows injury victims to pursue justice without added financial stress.

Will my case go to court?

Many personal injury cases resolve through settlement, but outcomes often depend on how prepared a firm is to take a case to trial if necessary. Van Sant Law prepares every case as if it will be tried, which insurance companies recognize and take seriously.

Why hire a local Brookhaven personal injury lawyer?

Local knowledge matters. A Brookhaven-based injury lawyer understands area roadways, businesses, medical providers, and court systems. Van Sant Law regularly represents clients in Brookhaven and throughout the greater Atlanta area, combining local insight with statewide resources.

How soon should I contact a personal injury attorney?

As soon as you’re able. Early involvement allows your attorney to preserve evidence, manage insurance communications, and ensure deadlines are met. Delays can weaken even strong injury claims.
