Car Accidents in North Carolina 
A North Carolina car accident typically happens very suddenly and unexpectedly. Serious crashes take place daily on our roadways and often lead to catastrophic and life-altering injuries. These crashes occur for a variety of reasons but are frequently caused by the actions of one or more negligent drivers. Speeding, driving while impaired, distracted driving, and failing to follow basic traffic laws are the primary cause of many of the crashes that we see across our state on a daily basis. Unfortunately, many of these accidents result in injuries for innocent victims who were simply in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Under our state’s laws, if you were hurt in a crash that was not your fault, you could be entitled to compensation from the other driver. North Carolina personal injury law allows for the recovery of lost wages, pain and suffering, medical costs, and potentially more. Making a claim can be a complex and complicated process. Receiving the compensation that you deserve can be even more difficult. If you or a loved one have been injured in a car accident in North Carolina, it is always best to have an attorney who can guide you through the situation with ease and confidence.
