Profile
David M. Van Sant is a Georgia personal injury attorney and car accident lawyer in Atlanta, Alpharetta, Cumming and Macon. David handles car, auto and truck accidents in metro Atlanta area, call for a free evaluation. David Van Sant is an experienced personal injury lawyer who handles all injury cases including car accidents, slip-and-fall accidents, automobile accidents, tractor-trailer accidents, defective products and medical malpractice claims, motorcycle accidents, construction accidents, brain and spine injuries and wrongful death claims. David received his Juris Doctor degree, with honors, from Georgia State University College of Law. After graduating from law school he worked as an insurance defense attorney representing many of the largest companies and insurers in the world. Today, he uses that experience to help individuals who have been injured by the negligence of others to maximize their recovery.
David handles many cases where the at fault driver was drinking and driving or texting and driving, both of which are illegal under Georgia law. David has authored a free car accident guide that is available on his website that will answer many questions you have after you have been involved in an accident. We offer free case evaluations to help you ascertain the value of your case and the appropriate future handling. Here are three quick tips if you have been involved in a car accident or truck accident (1) Read my accident guide BEFORE you speak with the insurance company, even your own, (2) Do not discuss the nature or extent of the injuries with an insurance adjuster, even your own until you are certain of the full extent of the injuries, (3) Seek medical treatment immediately - a gap in treatment can be devastating to your claim (if you do not have health insurance I can help get treatment that will not cost anything until the case is settled). Regardless of your particular situation, we are more than happy to meet with you for a free consultation to discuss the process. In addition to persoanl injury claims, Mr. Van Sant handles complex business litigation matters.
