North Carolina Car Accidents 
A car accident in North Carolina can take a major toll and victims and can change their lives forever. According to the North Carolina Department of Transportation, there were almost 300,000 reported North Carolina car accidents in 2018. This amounts to approximately 800 motor vehicle accidents each and every day across our state. A car accident can happen anywhere, from a quiet neighborhood street to a busy city road or a major highway.

Not all North Carolina car accidents result in injuries to the victim but many of them do. Some common car accident injuries include broken bones, traumatic brain injuries, permanent scars, and more. Depending on the nature of your accident, you should always document your injuries as well as your pain and suffering. When it comes time to present your case to an insurance adjuster or in the courtroom, you should be able to explain how the accident affected your life.
