After becoming injured in a truck accident, your safety should be your priority. Move out of harm’s way, if possible. Knowing what steps to take can help you keep a level head. Taking these actions may also help your local attorneys build the strongest possible case on your behalf:

• Contact first responders. Dial 911 to report the accident and stay at the scene until police and first responders arrive.
• Document the accident. Obtain a copy of the police report, collect witness information, and take photos/videos of the accident scene if you are able to do so.
• Seek medical attention. Obtain prompt medical attention for your injuries, and keep documentation including your treatment plan, follow-up care, and expenses incurred. Keep all bills and records related to the accident. Even if you think your injuries were relatively minor, being examined by a medical professional is important as it can identify injuries that aren’t immediately apparent.
• Contact an experienced local truck accident firm. Contact Van Sant Law as soon as you feel up to doing so, to schedule a free initial consultation. We will help you understand your rights and options.

Because of their larger size and weight relative to other vehicles on Georgia’s roadways, accidents involving semi-trucks can be particularly devastating for victims. Unfortunately, catastrophic injuries are not uncommon, and fatalities occur all-too-often. Whatever the circumstances, the attorneys at Van Sant Law are here to help you through this difficult chapter, so you can focus on recovering.

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.

Victims of truck accidents in Duluth and surrounding communities may be entitled to recover various types of damages for their claims.

• Lost wages. Lost compensation as you recover from your injuries.
• Property damage. The cost of repairing or replacing your vehicle and other personal property damaged in the accident, if applicable.
