Why You Need a Truck Accident Attorney
Truck accident claims require a deep understanding of both state and federal trucking regulations, as well as Georgia’s personal injury laws.
When you choose legal service and representation from Van Sant Law, our attorneys will:
- Investigate. We will conduct a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding your truck accident, seeking to identify who was responsible and establish liability. We will work to uncover and compile evidence to build and support your claim for compensation. This may include witness statements, photographic/video evidence, expert testimony, and more.
- Value your claim. We will work to calculate the economic and non-economic damages we believe you are owed, based on the circumstances of the accident and our decades of experience helping other victims recover full and fair compensation.
- Negotiate. We will handle all communications with the responsible party and their insurance company, serving as fierce advocates and negotiating on your behalf.
Litigate. If the other party is unwilling to negotiate fairly, we will be prepared to litigate your claim in court.
