Some Frequently Asked Questions
Seek medical attention right away, even if injuries seem minor. Then document the scene, collect witness information, and contact a personal injury lawyer before speaking with insurance companies.
In most cases, you have three years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit, and two years for wrongful death claims.
No. Most personal injury cases are handled on a contingency fee basis, which means you only pay if we win compensation for you.
You may be entitled to compensation for medical bills, lost wages, property damage, pain and suffering, and in some cases, punitive damages.
It depends on the complexity of the case. Some claims settle in a few months, while others may take longer if litigation is required.
North Carolina follows contributory negligence laws, which can bar recovery if you are found even slightly at fault. That’s why strong legal representation is critical.
