Our team will be able to advise you if this is the case.
Auto, Truck & Motorcycle Accidents
Our personal injury practice includes the following types of accidents: automobile or car accidents, truck or commercial vehicle accidents, motorcycle accidents and hit-and-run accidents whether you’re the driver, passenger or a pedestrian.
Catastrophic and Traumatic Injury
People who suffer these types of injuries likely will need lifelong medical treatment and support as they deal with the many physical, emotional and financial challenges confronting them. Catastrophic injuries include: brain injury, spinal cord and nerve injuries, electrocution, vision loss, hearing loss, amputation, paralysis and severe burns.
Wrongful Death
North Carolina law allows family members to file suit for wrongful deaths resulting from workplace accidents; medical errors; automobile, truck and motorcycle accidents; defective products and other causes. Family members may be entitled to:
- The value of lost wages and benefits, now and in the future
- Compensation for the loss of companionship, love and affection
- Monetary compensation for emotional pain and suffering caused by the death of a loved one
- Additional damages designed to punish those responsible and to prevent similar tragedies in the future.
