How we build your case

We work with engineers, investigators and accident reconstruction experts to show exactly what happened. We also prepare video and visual presentations that help mediators, insurance adjusters and juries understand your case.

Motor vehicle cases are a large part of our practice. We pursue full compensation for everything from broken bones to catastrophic brain and spinal cord injuries: medical bills, lost pay, pain and suffering, and future care.

North Carolina’s contributory negligence rule

North Carolina is one of only a few states where an injured person who is found even slightly at fault for a crash can be barred from recovering anything. Insurance companies know this and often look for any reason to blame you. That is one of the most important reasons to talk with a lawyer before you give a statement.

How long you have to act

In North Carolina, most personal injury claims must be filed within three years of the crash, and wrongful death claims within two years of the death. Evidence like vehicle data and witness memories fades much sooner, so it pays to call early.

Common questions

Should I talk to the other driver’s insurance company?

Be careful. The adjuster works for the insurance company. Talk with a lawyer before giving a recorded statement or signing anything.

What if the other driver has little or no insurance?

Your own uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage may help. We review every policy that might apply.

What does a consultation cost?

Your first consultation is free. A member of our local team, not a call center, will answer and set up a time for you to meet with an attorney.
