Firm representing serious car accident injury victims in Greensboro

Our firm has obtained outstanding results for clients in vehicle collision claims, and we have detailed knowledge of relevant concerns in these matters, such as:

• Types of accidents —As part of our review, our lawyers determine if factors such as speeding, wet roads or distracted drivers played a role in your crash. If you’ve been hurt in a motorcycle, pedestrian or truck accident, our lawyers will advise you on the special considerations associated with these actions.

• Insurance claims — Someone who is hurt in a vehicle accident can seek relief directly against the at-fault driver or their insurance company. Our skillful advocates represent clients’ interests throughout the insurance claims process and can often resolve the matter successfully without having to go to court.
• Contributory negligence rule — North Carolina bars injured victims from collecting legal damages if they contributed to their injury in any way. Accordingly, it is vital to hire an attorney who can strongly counter a defendant’s assertion that your negligence was even partially the cause of the crash.

Getting hurt in a car crash can cause serious mental trauma along with physical harm. Our proven personal injury lawyers will investigate your accident thoroughly, outline your options and provide compassionate counsel until your case is concluded.  

What type of compensation can I get?

As in other personal injury claims, auto accident plaintiffs can collect economic damages to cover their medical expenses, wages that were lost due to the accident and other costs linked to the collision. You are also eligible to obtain compensation for noneconomic harm, including pain and suffering and the loss of enjoyment of life due to the crash. These amounts are usually calculated in proportion with the economic damages.

What to look for in a car accident attorney

Choosing the right auto accident attorney can make a significant difference in the compensation you receive. We’re not looking to accept the first offer made by an insurance company so we can move on to the next client. Rather, we are aggressive advocates for collision victims in the Triad area and we have the experience and determination to fight for maximum compensation. Our background in these cases enables us to conduct exhaustive investigations and prove liability even in the most complex situations.

What to do after a car accident in North Carolina

Your first priority after a car accident should always be the physical safety of yourself and anyone else at the scene. Once necessary medical assistance is summoned, if you’re able, you can take some steps that might bolster your claim later. Contact the police and make sure you obtain a copy of the resulting accident report. With your phone, take photos of the scene and collect contact information from the other driver and witnesses who might have seen the collision.

When to hire a car accident lawyer

Some people believe that a seasoned car accident lawyer is only necessary for claims involving catastrophic harm, such as traumatic brain injuries. However, even when you walk away from a crash, you might still incur significant medical bills for ailments such as broken bones, back pain and strained muscles. Frequently, insurers and defense lawyers try to exploit their power advantage in these cases. We know that proper reimbursement is crucial for a personal injury claim and treat each client with the respect they deserve.
