Car Accidents in North Carolina
According to the North Carolina Department of Transportation, there are approximately 80,000 North Carolina injury accidents each year. This number has continued to rise in recent years as we have seen more and more negligent drivers on our roadways. Most North Carolina car accidents are caused by one or more negligent or careless actions of other motorists, including speeding, distraction, reckless driving, and impairment. Unfortunately, these motorist’s actions also influence others on the road. Innocent drivers can find themselves involved in an injury crash that can change their lives in a matter of seconds.
If you or a loved one have been affected by the actions of another driver, you should act promptly to protect your legal rights. While you may be facing high medical costs, tremendous pain and suffering, and lost wages due to being unable to work, there is hope for your future.
