Worry-Free Representation with Insurance Companies

In the state of North Carolina, victims of a car accident will typically start the injury claims process by filing with an insurance company. Because this is a fault-based or “tort liability” state, you always have the option to pursue legal action if the insurance company fails to give you an appropriate settlement.

Unfortunately, it’s very common for insurance providers to offer low initial settlements and to reject or undermine your attempts at fair negotiation. If this happens to you, our experienced attorneys can stand by your side and hold the insurance company accountable. When you work with us, we’ll focus all our resources on navigating your claim, so that you can focus on healing from your injuries.

These are just some of the services our auto accident attorneys can provide in Charlotte:

  • Acquiring evidence and performing a full investigation,
  • Filing an auto accident claim on your behalf,
  • Sending a demand letter to the insurance company,
  • Negotiating with the insurers, and
  • Processing your settlement for you.

How Can Contributory Negligence Law Impact My Case?

The state of North Carolina adheres to the law of contributory negligence. This means that if you even relatively contributed to the accident, you are not able to recover compensation from other more negligent parties.

In order for you to recover compensation in Charlotte, you will need to prove that the other party was 100% responsible for the accident. The following 3 elements will need to be proven in order for you to recover anything for your injuries and the damages suffered:

  • The responsible party acted in a negligent manner

  • This negligence resulted in the accident and the subsequent injuries

  • The injuries suffered resulted in financial and emotional damages

This means that it will be even more crucial for you to work with an attorney who can build a resilient case on your behalf.

What to Do After a Car Accident

After an accident, it is important to know the best steps to take to enhance your case. What you do in the moments following the collision really can make all of the difference.

Collect important information at the scene of the accident so you and your lawyer have this to refer to as you build the case. Get the following:

  • Witnesses’ names, addresses, and phone numbers
  • Insurance information of all other participating drivers
  • Details of the accident, especially picture evidence

Get a copy of the police report through the help of your attorney or by going to your local police station.

Seek medical care as soon as you are able. This step is important for your health as well as for proof that you sustained injuries at the time of the accident. Make this a priority.

Do not interact with the insurance company at any time or for any reason without a lawyer present. They may try to contact you or send you paperwork. Do not do anything without first talking to your attorney.

Contact a car accident attorney to help you pursue the compensation you need. We are often asked whether a car accident case needs an attorney and when it is beneficial to hire one. If you have suffered damages, the insurance company will try to give you the lowest possible settlement. Working with a knowledgeable and experienced attorney gives you the greatest opportunity to get the maximum compensation for your case.
