We have experience handling garbage truck accident cases
Getting to the root of what caused the accident is a critical element of a strong personal injury claim. Our legal professionals have the skills, knowledge, and experience needed to conduct thorough investigations, gather facts, and build compelling arguments for accident victims.

We are proud of our track record of success
Your Van Sant Law attorney will take a meticulous approach to establishing liability for your injuries. We will gather police reports, photo/video evidence of the crash, witness statements, and more, and we will help you catalog your losses to help you realize the best possible outcome for your claim.

We understand applicable regulations
Waste management businesses and garbage truck operators are required to adhere to myriad state and federal regulations covering load weight restrictions, driver hours of service, substance abuse testing, and more. Violating those rules can have serious implications. Your garbage truck accident lawyer knows these requirements well and will use that knowledge to strengthen your claim.

We maintain road safety awareness
When you choose a Van Sant Law personal injury attorney, you can be confident that your lawyer understands how weather conditions can impact garbage truck operations. If your accident occurred during rain, fog, snow, wind, or icy road conditions, your attorney will work to incorporate these weather hazards and associated driver negligence into your claim, as appropriate.

We understand truck accident injuries
The massive size and weight of garbage trucks means that, when they are involved in collisions with smaller vehicles, occupants of those smaller vehicles may suffer life-altering injuries. Knowing what steps to take in the aftermath of an accident is important; doing so could influence the eventual outcome of your legal claim. Your Van Sant Law attorney understands that a case involving traumatic brain injuries or fatalities from a garbage truck accident requires a different approach than an accident with less severe outcomes. We have experience with claims involving front loader, side loader, rear loader, and roll off trucks. We put all of our knowledge to work for accident victims, seeking full compensation and justice for each client.

We monitor applicable time limits
Waiting too long to file a claim for damages after garbage truck accident could leave you unable to claim any compensation. In general, victims have two years from the date of an injury accident in which to file personal injury suits. However, there are certain circumstances under which different time limits apply. When you work with Van Sant Law, your garbage truck accident attorney will help you understand the applicable statute of limitations, and what it means for your claim.
