Types of Injury Cases in North Carolina

Under personal injury laws in North Carolina, a legal action can be brought by an attorney for a plaintiff (the injured party) who is seeking monetary damages for injuries caused by another party — either by negligence or an intentional act.  If you or a loved one has been injured as a result of the actions of another person or corporation, our attorneys can evaluate your claim at no cost to you.

Some examples of personal injury claims include:

  • Car Accidents: One of the most common types of injury claims relates to a car accident. If you were injured in an accident and the other party is at fault, you may be entitled to monetary damages for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering. Even if your insurance company provides coverage for damages to your vehicle, you may be entitled to significant additional money damages.
  • Trucking Accidents: Accidents involving a commercial truck are in a different category than personal vehicle accidents. If you have been injured as a result of the negligence of a commercial truck driver, the driver’s employer may be liable and you may be entitled to significant monetary damages. It will be critically important to have a skilled personal injury lawyer in your corner if you have been injured by a commercial truck or other vehicle.
  • Wrongful Death: We understand that no amount of money can take the place of a lost loved one. We also understand that there are collateral consequences to the wrongful death of a loved one, including unforeseen bills that can pile up in the wake of an unexpected death. The last thing you want is to face a financial crisis in your time of grief. If a loved one has died as a result of someone else’s negligence, one of your first steps should be to contact a Raleigh personal injury attorney to take on the case so you know you have competent counsel in your corner from the beginning.

Having a skilled personal injury lawyer on your side can mean all the difference in recovering a fair settlement for you from the defendant or his or her insurance company. Our attorneys will work on your behalf from day one to obtain all of the evidence necessary and present your case in the best possible light both in settlement negotiations, and if needed, at trial.
