Injury Accidents in North Carolina 
Each year across North Carolina, there are thousands of pedestrian accidents reported in our state. These pedestrian crashes result in both serious injuries as well as fatalities. A North Carolina pedestrian accident happens very suddenly and unexpectedly and can lead to life-changing consequences. Many of these pedestrian accidents in North Carolina occur when a pedestrian is crossing the road. The pedestrian is often not at fault as the driver failed to yield or stop for the victim, causing the crash to occur. In a case of driver negligence, the pedestrian may have the right to recover from their injuries.
North Carolina law provides victims with the right to receive valuable compensation when they have been involved in an accident that was not their fault. This compensation can cover a variety of damages, including pain and suffering, medical bills, and lost wages. In cases of serious injuries, your claim may have substantial value. However, it is important to remember that you should only handle a serious accident claim with the help of a skilled and knowledgeable attorney.
