Helping You Recover Compensation for Your Treatment and Injuries
As you know, the medical treatment associated with back injuries can be very expensive. It is most certain that if you have suffered a back injury that you will need physical therapy, medications, continued physician examinations and possibly surgery. When you have sustained a back injury from the negligence of another, you should not bear the burden of the cost of the medical expenses.
We are committed in fighting for the compensation you are entitled to regarding your medical cost, lost wages and pain and suffering. If you have suffered a back injury due to the negligence of another, we would be happy to meet with you to discuss your potential claim.

All Law Firms Are Not Created Equal
At Van Sant Law, we are not an impersonal mega-firm, but neither are we a one-man operation. Our five attorneys work together to bring results to our clients. Nationwide, only 2.5 percent of all lawyers in Georgia have been named to the prestigious Georgia Super Lawyers list (compiled by a national law firm ratings organization). In our firm, the figure is 60 percent.
Defendants and insurance companies laugh at lawyers who “talk settlement” but haven’t demonstrated the ability to win in court. They’re not laughing at us, though. Our founder David Van Sant has been named one of the Top 100 Trial Lawyers in Georgia by The National Trial Lawyers, and our other attorneys are also experienced trial lawyers. Perhaps that is why we end up settling the vast majority of our client’s claims.

I had a head on collusion that left me with a totaled car & very bad injuries. From the first time I spoke to David Van Sant to the end I have been totally satisfied.

They were referred to me by a close friend of mine. Extremely professional, and asked the language I feel comfortable to discuss my case in. Alex Rusanov was my case manager and explained every aspect of my case during the process. I would highly recommend to use this law firm if you were injured in a car accident.

-
How Can a Back Injury Be Medically Proven?Some back injuries, particularly soft tissue damage, can be difficult to -prove. Even when an injury is detected, it may be difficult to prove the degree of pain you are experiencing. Doctors will rely on X-rays, CT scans, MRIs, EMGs and other techniques to identify a back injury.
-
How Might a Pre-Existing Injury Affect My Claim?A defendant might point to a pre-existing injury to establish that your back pain is the result of the old injury, not the new one. He might also assert that your new injury merely aggravated a pre-existing injury, which would result in reduced compensation for you. In some cases, however, a pre-existing injury can increase the value of your claim.
