Gastonia Personal Injury Lawyers That Fight For You
Whether you have been injured in an automobile accident, or whether you have been hurt at work or elsewhere, you may be entitled to receive compensation for medical bills, lost income, permanent disabilities, or pain and suffering that the accident may have caused. You may also be entitled to loss of enjoyment of life or emotional distress. Our firm also helps those whose family members have been killed through wrongful death—death caused by negligent or intentional conduct entitling the survivors of the deceased to compensation for their loss.
Why should I hire an attorney to settle a personal injury case?
In order to make a successful claim against someone whose negligence caused you injury, you must prove several elements of your claim, including that the person at fault had a duty to act with due care towards you, the person violated that duty, that you were injured as a direct result of that violation. Insurance adjusters are well versed in these matters and have a vested interest in eliminating or minimizing your claim. An attorney involved in an early stage of the claim process can be essential for the successful pursuit of your claim.
Having an attorney in North Carolina can be especially helpful, since North Carolina is one of the few states that still follows the harsh doctrine of contributory negligence, which means that if you contribute even 1% to the accident, you can be barred from receiving any compensation. As experienced personal injury attorneys, we can help you understand the various elements of your claim, gather information and evidence to support your claim, and can utilize our significant negotiation and litigation skills to produce an optimal result for you and your family. We are not afraid to take your case to trial if that is necessary for a good result.
Settlement of a negligence or wrongful death claim can involve complicated issues of subrogation, liens, ERISA, Medicare, Medicaid and other complex issues that can be overwhelming and for which an attorney’s assistance can be essential.
