Van Sant Law, LLC Prevails in Car Accident Case with a Settlement of $1.3 Million

ATLANTA - Dec. 5, 2013 - PRLog -- A recent case in which a man was injured by a negligent driver who ran a stop sign was settled for $1.3 million in damages. The firm representing the victim, Van Sant Law, LLC, located in Atlanta, is known for recovering multi-million dollars settlements in personal injury cases. In this case, the victim had suffered a broken ankle, leg, clavicle and ribs. In a very serious injury case, there are several types of damages that must be pursued, including all medical costs, pain and suffering, and loss of income from work, as well as other estimated economic damages. The victim in this case was severely injured, and required a long period of treatment to attempt to return him to a condition of health and mobility.

The firm is recognized for having achieved many multi-million dollar settlements in personal injury cases, and has the highest possible peer-review rating. Those that have suffered a serious injury usually retain the services of a personal injury law firm to manage the details of a claim or lawsuit. This firm has gained a reputation in the Atlanta area for prevailing in difficult injury cases, and the founding attorney, David M. Van Sant, has been listed as a Super Lawyers® Rising Star from the years of 2010 through 2013, and named by the National Trial Lawyers “Top 40 Under 40,” and has been active in the Forsyth County Bar Association.

Mr. Van Sant formerly practiced as a defense lawyer for an insurance defense firm where he was able to gain a great insight into the process of filing claims and lawsuits, and how large insurance companies operate when facing high value claims. The process of recovering damages can be frustrating for the injured, as it can require many months of negotiations to get a valid claim resolved, and in more complex cases, years can pass before the injured person finally achieves justice.

The case that was recently settled for $1.3 million was filed in Forsyth County, Georgia, Tallant v. Dowd. The firm offers legal services to the injured throughout the Atlanta area, as well as all of Forsyth County. You can visit the firm’s website at http://www.davidvansant.com/ for more information.
