Why Do I Need An Attorney?

Insurance companies limit the amount of money they will pay to injury victims. Insurance companies will have defense attorneys to minimize your claims, you should have an attorney by your side so that your injuries- and lack of contribution to the cause of those injuries- are not ignored by the court. It is important to know your rights, and to have someone dedicated to upholding your rights.

Can I Afford One?

Absolutely. Our attorneys handle personal injury issues on a contingency fee basis. This means that you do not owe us legal fees unless you also get paid. The initial consultation and case evaluation is also free.

What Can I Expect From This Process?

We generally expect one of two outcomes when we take on your case. We will try to reach a settlement with the insurance company, or we will take your case to trial to defend your best interests. Insurance companies will often try to drag the process out as long as possible. We do everything possible to keep things moving for you, but we always place preparation above rushing. This is your best protection, because it ensures that we are fighting for you from a position of strength which will aid you in getting the maximum award for your injuries you have suffered.

Is There Anything I Should Anticipate As A Block to My Case?

North Carolina is what is known as a "Contributory Negligence" state. This means that if you contribute, in any way, to your injury you may be barred from recovering anything at all. Insurance companies will sometimes use this defense to deny a claim altogether, even when their insured is in the wrong. Our attorneys can discuss this obstacle with you, as well as any options you may have.
