Personal Injury Lawyers & Attorneys – Greenville |
If you have been seriously injured due to the negligence or wrongdoing of another, you may be eligible to seek compensation for the damages you have suffered. A wide range of claims fall under our personal injury practice including automobile, motorcycle, and trucking collisions, slip and fall accidents, animal attacks, workplace and brain injuries.
Motor vehicle accidents are the most common type of personal injury cases. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, someone in the United States is involved in a car accident every ten (10) seconds. The law requires all of us to use reasonable care under the circumstances when operating a vehicle. A failure to use reasonable care is considered negligence. A negligent driver may be required to pay for damages, either to a person or for property, caused by his or her negligence. The attorneys at Dawson & Albritton are experienced professionals in automobile accident cases who can protect your interests.
When personal injuries result in death, North Carolina allows the deceased’s estate to pursue a wrongful death claim against the negligent parties. A personal representative, usually a relative or loved one, is appointed by the court to pursue the action. The representative seeks money damages by settlement or jury verdict which will ultimately be distributed to the deceased’s heirs at law. The time allowed to file a wrongful death claim differs from that of a personal injury claim in North Carolina. These laws, known as Statutes of Limitation, also differ from state to state. It is therefore important that you consult with competent attorneys who know the law and can assist you in attaining the best possible outcome.
Compensation in personal injury cases may be recovered for pain and suffering, medical bills, lost wages, lost earning capacity, scaring, and more. You may also be eligible to recover punitive damages from the negligent parties if it is proven that the defendant's conduct was willful, wanton, or reckless as defined by North Carolina law. At Dawson & Albritton, your personal injury claim will be handled on a contingency basis meaning that we are paid an attorney fee only if you obtain a recovery for your injuries.
