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.

"I highly recommend him as a personal injury attorney."
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.
