FAQ

How can a personal injury lawyer help my case?

Personal injury accidents, no matter the type, can leave you feeling like you are riding an emotional rollercoaster. After becoming injured, your goal should be on fully recovering so you can move on with your life. When you decide to work with a personal injury attorney in Gainesville, GA, you can have some peace of mind knowing that you have a skilled advocate in your corner handling your claim on your behalf, so you can focus on getting better.

A Gainesville, GA injury lawyer will use knowledge and expertise handling personal injury claims to help you navigate the legal system, removing much of the stress from the process. Your personal accident lawyer knows that the insurance company’s initial offer of settlement is likely to be significantly less than what your claim is actually worth. Rather than accepting that offer, your lawyer will work to determine your tangible and intangible losses and will negotiate on your behalf, going head-to-head with the responsible parties and their insurers.

What can an auto accident attorney do for me?

There are several potential benefits of working with a car accident lawyer in Gainesville. First, an auto accident attorney can be a valuable source of legal advice and guidance. Your lawyer will help you understand your rights and your options, so you can make informed decisions about how to proceed.

Your attorney will also ensure your personal injury claim is filed within the required time frames. There are time limits, called statutes of limitations, associated with filing legal claims. These time periods differ based on the parties involved and the circumstances of the accident. Essentially, if you are injured in a motor vehicle accident but fail to file your legal case within the required time period, you forfeit your right to pursue compensation for your injuries. Your personal accident lawyer can help make sure that does not happen in your case.

In Georgia, comparative fault laws can impact victims’ rights to compensation. If it is determined that the accident was at least 50% your fault, you will be unable to recover damages for your injuries. Your auto accident attorney can help gather and present evidence proving that you were no more than 49% responsible for the accident.

Your personal injury lawyer will also work hard to ensure that the claim he or she files on your behalf includes a demand for appropriate compensation, considering the facts and circumstances of the car accident. To do this, your attorney will work to gather evidence, including gathering witness testimony and medical documentation to support your case. Your lawyer may rely on the reports or testimony of experts, even if your case never goes to trial.

If your car accident claim ends up being litigated in court, your Van Sant Law personal injury attorney will litigate the case for you, preparing and presenting evidence and refuting the defendants’ statements or evidence. Of course, no attorney can guarantee success in helping you obtain a personal injury settlement or win your case at trial — but when you work with Van Sant Law, you won’t pay us anything unless we are successful in recovering damages for you.

We serve the entire area, including Hall County and nearby Braselton, Brookhaven, Buford, Clermont, Flowery Branch, Gillsville, Lula and Oakwood.

I was in a car accident with a tractor trailer two years ago and David Van Sant came highly recommended for someone I could talk to about the situation. Best decision I've ever made!
