You don’t have to hire an attorney after an accident, but accident claims can quickly become complicated. An experienced legal advocate familiar with North Carolina laws – such as state texting bans and contributory negligence laws – can negotiate with insurance companies and strive to maximize your compensation. Hiring an attorney is especially important when an accident causes serious injuries, a fatality or significant property damage. Without an experienced legal advocate on your side, you may find insurance adjusters and other representatives try to bully you into accepting less money than you deserve. We’re ready to help you recover the compensation you deserve and get life back on track.
Yes. From police reports and requests from doctors to insurance red tape, the amount of paperwork required after an accident can be overwhelming. While you may want to focus on what matters most – your family and recovering from your injuries – you may feel the pressure of insurance companies to fill out confusing paperwork on tight deadlines. Leave the details to us. We know what insurance companies are looking for. We’re familiar with their tactics. We’ll make sure you provide the most detailed, accurate information possible.
Yes. Dealing with insurance companies alone can be difficult. Claims adjusters may pressure you to accept a settlement that won’t cover long-term injury costs, such as future medical bills, loss of future earnings and other damages. Just because they made an offer doesn’t mean you should feel forced to accept it. Insurance companies deal with claims all day. You’re not just a number to us. We’ll work with you one-on-one to develop the best legal strategy possible and maximize your compensation.
No. If you are approached by someone from the at-fault driver’s insurance company, politely decline to comment and refer him or her to your attorney. If you haven’t hired a car accident lawyer, contact us immediately. One sure-fire way of hurting your car accident case is to give a recorded or written statement to the insurance claims adjuster. As the saying goes, loose lips sink ships.
The amount of compensation you may obtain for your accident depends on a number of factors.
