Whiplash Injury Lawyers
Atlanta Personal Injury Lawyers Serving Alpharetta, Cumming and All of Georgia
Whiplash can occur in a variety of situations, commonly as a result of a car accident or bus or train accident. It can cause severe pain and other health complications that may affect your ability to walk or take part in other physical activity. It can severely harm the neck, upper torso, or spine and can even cause different degrees of brain injury. If you have suffered whiplash due to an accident, an attorney should be consulted regarding your right to pursue compensation.
Whiplash can require extensive medical treatment, ongoing medical attention and adjustments to lifestyle, and cause an interruption to your working schedule. The financial costs, lost income, and pain and suffering should not be allowed to cause you more stress than they already have.

Overcoming the Stigma: Pursuing Justice for Genuine Whiplash Injuries
Whiplash injuries are famous for being faked by unethical litigants in order to defraud defendants out of money for injuries that never occurred. This unfortunate stereotype makes life more difficult for real whiplash victims to enforce their claims, due to a certain lingering prejudice and the difficulty that many victims face when trying to gather concrete medical evidence of their injuries.
It’s difficult enough to face constant pain and to watch your medical bills pile up while you miss work. Anger is an appropriate additional response when you find out that your injury was caused by someone else’s carelessness (an intoxicated driver, for instance).
A personal injury lawyer for whiplash claims can investigate the incident which caused your whiplash, determine the appropriate party to sue, present information supporting your claim and attempt to gain maximal compensation.
Justice Demands a Response
It is beyond infuriating to listen to an at-fault defendant’s insurance company make excuses or use clever tricks to deny your claim – press you for the exact time of the accident, for example, and then claim that the accident was your fault because you were checking the time instead of watching the road.
Fortunately, however, our firm’s founder David Van Sant worked as an insurance company defense lawyer before founding Van Sant Law. He knows all their tricks, and he knows how to fight back. So do the rest of us, and we adhere to one foundational principle of our practice – nobody takes advantage of our clients. We can help you win a whiplash settlement from a car accident.

Will a Pre-Existing Injury Defeat My Whiplash Injury Claim?Possibly. A defendant or insurance adjustor would like to be able to use a pre-existing injury to prove that your injury was not the result of the accident that you said caused it, or to prove that your new injury merely aggravated your pre-existing injury (thereby reducing the value of your claim).
-
What Steps Should I Take Immediately After a Whiplash Injury?
Here are some tips:
- Seek medical treatment immediately, even if you feel only slight pain.
- Hire a whiplash attorney! The sooner you seek legal help, the better your chances will be.
- File your insurance claim quickly, following your whiplash injury lawyer’s advice concerning what information you should reveal.
-
How Can I Prove a Whiplash Injury?
- Document all of your symptoms and medical treatment.
- Have your doctor document all of your symptoms. Any evidence coming from your doctor is more credible than any statement you make yourself.
- Reconstruct the accident in every detail. You might need an expert witness for this.
-
What Kinds of Damages Should I Claim?
Georgia allows three categories of damages, depending on the facts of your case.
- Economic damages: Easily countable losses such as medical expenses and lost earnings.
- Noneconomic damages such as pain and suffering.
- Punitive damages. These are not usually awarded. They might apply if the defendant’s conduct was particularly outrageous – if he injured you intentionally, for example.

What Are My Options for Receiving a Wrongful Death Settlement?
When you’ve lost a loved one to wrongful death, you may be approached by the responsible party’s insurance company. The insurer may offer an initial settlement amount to close the matter. You could choose to accept this settlement and receive payment relatively quickly. However, most legal professionals would caution you to talk to an experienced wrongful death attorney first.
Unfortunately, the insurance company’s initial settlement offer is designed to help it settle the claim quickly and inexpensively. As a result, the amount offered may not adequately cover your financial losses. Talk to a legal professional who can help by valuing your claim, presenting you with your rights and options, and answering your questions. When you have all of the information in front of you, you can make the best decision about how to proceed.
If you choose to file a wrongful death suit with your lawyer’s help, your legal team will advocate on your behalf, and will fight to help you obtain the best possible outcome for your claim.
