FAQ
-
What Should I Do After a Soft Tissue Injury?
- Seek medical treatment immediately.
- Show up for doctor’s appointments on time.
- Follow all of your doctor’s recommendations, so that the defendant cannot credibly claim that your injuries were partly your fault.
- Assemble witnesses who can testify about the impact of your injuries.
-
I Intend to Seek a Private Settlement. Is There Any Reason for Me to Prepare for a Trial?Yes. Although most soft tissue injury claims are settled out of court, the best way to secure a generous settlement is to show the defendant that you are prepared to win in court if it comes to that. You might also have to file a lawsuit (and perhaps attend a deposition) to motivate the defendant to settle.
-
What Are “Pain and Suffering” Damages?
Pain and suffering damages are awarded to compensate you for the physical pain you suffered. As long as you can prove the full extent of your pain and suffering, your pain and suffering damages could far exceed your compensation for medical expenses. Other possible types of intangible damages include:
- Mental anguish
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Loss of consortium
-
Can I Enforce a Claim Against the Employer of a Commercial Driver Who Injured Me in a Car Accident?Yes, as long as the commercial driver was acting within the scope of his duties at the time of the accident, and as long as the driver really was an employee. Commercial truckers, for example, are usually considered independent contractors rather than employees.

"I highly recommend him as a personal injury attorney."
My attorney, David Van Sant and his law firm were outstanding in handling my personal injury case. I was out of work for a considerable amount of time due to an automobile accident and Mr. Van Sant and his entire team were always kind, professional, knowledgeable and especially available. This law firm did their absolute best to answer and return calls and at no time did I ever feel like just a number or stranger. My experience with Mr. Van Sant and his law firm (from beginning to end), were very positive as well as favorable.
