What to Do After a Car Accident

Many clients come to us asking the same urgent questions: Do I need a lawyer? Should I talk to the insurance company? What if I was partially at fault?

After a car accident, it’s important to:

  1. Seek medical care as soon as possible, even if injuries seem minor
  2. Report the accident and obtain a police report
  3. Avoid giving recorded statements to insurance adjusters
  4. Preserve photos, videos, and witness information

Once your immediate safety is addressed, speaking with a Brookhaven car accident attorney can help ensure you don’t unknowingly damage your claim. Early legal guidance often makes a significant difference in the outcome of a case.

  3. Insurance negotiations handled entirely by our firm — no adjuster pressure on you
  4. Trial-ready preparation, ensuring your case is positioned for maximum compensation
  5. Resolution or litigation, depending on what your case requires

You focus on healing. We focus on building your case.

Brookhaven’s Traffic and the Risk of Serious Car Accidents

Brookhaven is located in a heavily traveled area of the Atlanta metro region, with easy access to I-85 and surrounding arterial roads. Unfortunately, increased traffic volume raises the risk of serious collisions, including rear-end crashes, intersection accidents, and high-speed highway wrecks.

When another driver’s negligence causes an accident, Georgia law allows injured victims to pursue compensation — even in some cases where fault is shared. Our Brookhaven car accident lawyers work to identify all liable parties and protect your right to recover damages.

Compensation Available After a Car Accident

Depending on the circumstances of your crash, you may be entitled to compensation for:

  • Medical bills and future treatment
  • Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional distress
  • Property damage

We evaluate the full impact of your injuries — not just the immediate costs — to pursue compensation that reflects what you’ve truly lost.

Car Accident FAQs

Do I need a car accident lawyer after a crash?

If you were injured, speaking with a Brookhaven car accident lawyer is often critical. Insurance companies are focused on minimizing payouts, not protecting your interests. An attorney can handle communications, preserve evidence, and ensure you don’t accept a settlement that undervalues your injuries.

What if the car accident happened on I-85 or a busy Brookhaven road?

Accidents on high-traffic roads like I-85 or major Brookhaven intersections often involve higher speeds and more severe injuries. These cases may require additional investigation, including traffic data, crash reconstruction, and coordination with multiple insurance carriers.

Can I still recover compensation if I was partially at fault?

Yes. Georgia follows a modified comparative negligence rule. You may still recover compensation as long as you were less than 50% responsible for the accident. Any compensation may be reduced by your percentage of fault.

How long do I have to file a car accident claim?

In most Georgia car accident cases, you have two years from the date of the crash to file a claim. Certain situations can shorten or affect this timeline, so it’s important to act promptly.

What types of damages can I recover after a car accident?

Compensation may include medical expenses, lost income, future treatment costs, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and property damage. Each case is different, and the value depends on the severity of injuries and long-term impact.

Should I talk to the insurance company after a crash?

You may need to report the accident, but you should be cautious about giving recorded statements or accepting early settlement offers. Insurance adjusters may use your statements to reduce or deny your claim.

How much does it cost to hire a Brookhaven car accident lawyer?

Van Sant Law works on a contingency fee basis. This means there are no upfront fees, and you only pay if compensation is recovered.

What if my injuries don’t show up right away?

Delayed symptoms are common after car accidents, especially with neck, back, and soft-tissue injuries. Seeking medical care and documenting symptoms as soon as they appear is important for both your health and your claim.

What makes Van Sant Law different from other Brookhaven car accident firms?

Van Sant Law provides trial-ready representation with direct attorney involvement. Insurance companies know which firms are prepared to go to court, and that preparation often leads to stronger settlement positions for clients.
