If
you or a family member or friend were injured or someone
you know has died as a result of another's negligence
involving an automobile accident, dog or animal attack,
airplane crash, slip and fall or defective product, certain
legal rights may exist to protect you. You may be entitled
to compensation for medical bills, lost wages, pain and
suffering, scarring, loss of enjoyment of life, wrongful death, loss of
consortium, permanent injury and possibly punitive damages.
For information regarding specific injuries, such as those from Car Accidents, Truck Accidents, workers' compensation claims or from recalled drugs or other product liability claims see our informational pages on the right hand side.
Insurance companies are staffed with attorneys and adjusters
who are well trained in resolving claims in the best interest
of the insurance companies. We would like to use our experience
in this area of the law to help you in anyway we can. Our
experience handling numerous types of personal injury claims
always comes back to a strong investigation as soon as possible
after discovery of a personal injury. Evidence and witnesses’
memories often fade or are lost. Insurance companies hire
hundreds of investigators and agents to get to the scene or
the product quickly. You should do the same.
In a personal injury action, to recover from an adverse party,
the adverse party must commit a negligent act of some sort.
Negligence is the breach of a duty owed causing an injury. Not
only must negligence be proven, you must not be negligent
yourself as North Carolina still holds on to the doctrine
of contributory negligence.
Damages must also be shown in order to recover from one's
negligence. Damages, entitling the person to lost wages,
medical bills, scarring, permanent injury and pain and
suffering, are called compensatory damages. You may also
be able to recover punitive damages which are damages
awarded to the injured person to punish and deter the
flagrant nature of the wrongful conduct. If the actions
of the person causing the injury were so callus or
outrageous then an attorney should review your case and
decide whether punitive damages should be pursued.
If your injuries prevent you from returning to work, you
may benefit from consulting with an attorney that also
handles workers' compensation and social security disability. Susan O'Malley is Board Certified Disability Specialist by the North Carolina State Bar and is available to assist.
We would be happy to discuss your legal rights with you on the
phone, meet with you in our office or have one of our staff
meet with you at home. There is NO CHARGE for the initial
consultation. If you cannot come to us, we will GO TO YOU.
The members of our firm look forward to helping you. If you
feel you are a victim of another’s negligence, call
