Don't Allow Yourself to Be Taken Advantage Of
Most catastrophic injury claims are paid by insurance companies – and most victims receive only a fraction of what their claim is worth. Ultimately, an insurance company makes money by taking premiums and spends it by paying out claims. You can expect to be negotiating with a trained professional whose sole purpose is to save their company as much money as possible.
It is unfortunate and unnecessary that many insurance companies try to pay as little as possible to those who may need compensation the most. At times, they may delay your claim as long as possible, hoping to wear you down to a low settlement amount. Some adjusters try to pay 80% of your medical costs with the idea that you won't fight over the “small” amount you have to pay. These bills, however, can add up and cost a lot in the end.
That is where we can enter the picture. Our founding partner David Van Sant is a former insurance company defense lawyer. By working on the other side, he has learned all of the tricks and strategies that insurance companies and defendants use to avoid paying fair compensation – and he knows just how to handle it. So do the rest of us.

Your Claim Might Be Worth More Than You Think
With a little information, we can estimate the value of your claim. In catastrophic injury cases, noneconomic damages such as pain and suffering are often worth far more than medical expense reimbursement.

FAQ
-
Am I Eligible for Punitive Damages?
To qualify for punitive damages in Georgia, you must prove that the defendant acted with:
- Willful misconduct
- Malice
- Fraud
- Wantonness
- Oppression
- A conscious indifference to and utter disregard for your safety.
You must prove the foregoing by “clear and convincing evidence”, which is a more stringent standard of proof. Punitive damages awards are unusual, but they can be immense.
-
What Are Future Damages?Your injuries might require continuing medical treatment and lost earnings decades into the future. It is important that you estimate that amount and cim it now because you won’t be able to reopen your claim and ask for more if you run out of money later.
-
What Is a Comparative Fault, and How Might It Affect My Claim?Comparative fault is a way of assessing damages when the victim was partly at fault for the accident. If you were 50 percent or more at fault, you will lose your claim. If you were 49 percent at fault or less, your damages will be reduced in proportion to your fault.
-
How Can I Be Compensated If the Defendant Is Unable to Pay the Full Value of My Claim?
Under certain circumstances, a third party can be held liable for some or all of your damages. This third party might be:
- an insurance company
- the defendant’s employer
- the manufacturer of a defective product
- some other party.
