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.

FAQ
-
Do I Need a Personal Injury Attorney If I Was in an Accident in Acworth?
Hiring an auto accident lawyer or other personal injury lawyer after you are injured is not required. However, working with a car wreck lawyer may result in a more favorable outcome for you. Attorneys understand how to value and document personal injury claims and are skilled at negotiating with insurance companies to obtain higher settlements than what an unrepresented individual would be likely to obtain on their own.
-
How Much Does a Personal Injury Attorney Cost in Acworth?
The cost for handling your personal injury claim will depend on a variety of factors, including the time and complexity involved, the need to engage experts, and whether the case ends up going to trial. In most cases, Georgia personal injury lawyers work on a contingent fee basis. This means that you only pay for their services if they are successful in obtaining a settlement for you.
-
Are Claims and Lawsuits the Same Thing?
These terms are often used interchangeably, although not all personal injury claims become lawsuits. When an injured party makes a claim, they are demanding that the responsible party compensate them for their direct and indirect financial losses related to the injury. A lawsuit is a claim that enters the legal system because the parties were unable to negotiate or agree on a settlement.
-
Will I Be Required to Show Up in Court for a Personal Injury Claim?
In most cases, no. The majority of personal injury claims are settled outside of court. If your personal injury attorney and the attorney for the responsible party are not able to come to agreement, your attorney may recommend litigating your claim in court. If a trial is necessary, you would need to attend and participate, however, this is not common.
-
What Damages Might I Be Entitled to for a Personal Injury Claim in Georgia?
Personal injury victims are entitled to both “economic” and “noneconomic” damages under Georgia law. These include payments for expenses like medical care and damaged personal property, as well as lost wages, pain, and suffering, and loss of enjoyment. In certain situations, punitive damages may also be available to victims. Your motor vehicle accident lawyer can help you understand what damages may be available to you.
-
Does a Pre-Existing Condition Matter in a Personal Injury Claim Case?
Generally, people injured in personal injury accidents may not recover compensation for pre-existing injuries. In many situations, though, an accident can cause new damage to, or aggravate, an existing injury. In that case, you would be entitled to compensation. A skilled attorney can help you document your damages and fight for the compensation you are owed.
-
If the Statute of Limitations Has Passed, Can I Still File a Lawsuit?
For most Georgia personal injury claims, victims have up to two years to file claims for compensation, however, there are some situations where shorter time periods apply. If you wait too long to decide you want to file a claim, you may be barred from receiving anything. That’s why it is important to talk to a personal injury attorney as soon as possible to understand your rights and explore your options.
-
If I Had a Role in the Injury, Can I Still Be Compensated in Georgia?
If you were partially at fault for the accident, your right to recover damages may be limited proportionately. If you are deemed to be 50% responsible or more for the accident, you may be barred from recovering damages, regardless how extensive your injuries were. Experienced personal injury lawyers help injured victims protect their rights.
