North Carolina Car Accidents 
A North Carolina car accident can be a serious and life-altering event for its victims. Not every car accident results in injuries but, according to current numbers, about one-third of all reported car accidents in North Carolina did cause injuries in the year 2019. Many injury crashes involve serious injuries that can require an extensive recovery period. During this time, victims may experience a painful and prolonged process with increasing medical bills. It is common to face a substantial amount of anxiety as you wonder if you will ever be able to resume the life that you enjoyed prior to the crash.
Many car accident victims are injured when they are struck by a negligent driver.
