We are Dedicated to Our Clients’ Financial Recovery

When we work on our clients’ accident cases, we pursue comprehensive evidence to support their claims and have their compensation demands understood. 

We aim to be thorough when calculating your damages so that we can pursue compensation that fairly covers your current and future losses.

Our Legal Team Can Help You Estimate the Approximate Value of Your Case

To begin calculating your damages, our team will need to assess the types of losses you experienced because of the accident, including losses you may experience later on that can be tied back to your accident. 

Below are the main types of damages we may consider when estimating how much compensation we should pursue on your behalf.

Medical Expenses

Injuries from accidents can be minor as well as expensive. As if your pain wasn’t enough, you may also be facing thousands of dollars in medical bills. Through our advocacy, we can fight for the compensation required to pay your medical bills. Including the costs of: 

• Ambulance rides
• Emergency room care
• Hospitalization 
• Surgeries
• Prescription medicines
• Doctor’s appointments
• Lab work
• Imaging exams, such as MRIs, CT scans, and X-rays

Our team may also review your medical records and consult medical experts to assess whether you should expect future medical treatment for your injuries. If so, we may calculate these costs and add them to your compensation demands.

Economic and Non-Economic Damages 

Depending on the nature of your accident, you may pursue compensation for other economic and non-economic damages.

Our team can explain what types of damages you may be entitled to pursue based on what is involved in your case and how your accident affected your life. For example, other compensable damages include:

• Property damage: If the accident damaged your property, you may demand compensation to cover the costs of repairing or replacing your property.
• Pain and suffering: Certain damages do not have a price tag but are physically and emotionally felt. We aim to respect the pain and suffering you experienced due to the accident and assign a financial value that fairly reflects this impact.
• Income loss: If you had to miss work to get medical treatment or recover from your injuries, we may be able to demand income that you lost during this time. If your injuries require ongoing treatment or recovery, we may also request future income you can expect to lose.
• Reduced capacity: If your injuries prevented you from fulfilling your previous work duties and forced you to take a lower-ranking position or quit your industry altogether, we may be able to demand the difference in the income you now make (if at all) as a result.
• Disability or disfigurement: If your accident causes you to develop a disability or become disfigured, whether temporarily or permanently, we may be able to claim losses related to these limitations or significant changes and their impact on your life. 

Remember that because each individual has unique financial, physical, and emotional factors, you may be entitled to damages not mentioned in this article. Our team can review your case and listen to your perspective of how the accident affected you, Then explain what you may be able to claim.

Wrongful Death Damages

Our team also frequently handles wrongful death cases for families who have lost a loved one due to negligence. Your family deserves to see justice achieved on behalf of your loved one. We can work toward this goal on your behalf so that you can focus on grieving and healing with your family members. 

With a wrongful death case, we may be able to recover additional damages, such as: 

• Funeral and burial expenses
• Companionship loss
• Loss of income your loved one contributed to the family
• Parental guidance and compassion loss
• Loss of consortium

Our Law Firm Can Help You File Your Case Within its Legal Time Frame Allowed

In North Carolina, G.S. §1-52 serves as the statute of limitations for personal injury cases, meaning it sets the legal deadline for plaintiffs to submit their lawsuits. You generally have three years from the date of your accident to file your case, though some exceptions may apply. 

Before submitting your case, our law firm aims to:

• Investigate your accident to identify the potentially liable party or parties
• Help you retrieve evidence that can support your case. Also including time-sensitive evidence like video footage and witness statements
• Submit other legal paperwork before their legal deadlines
• Negotiate a potential settlement deal with the opposing party’s insurer to avoid having to go to court

If we are unable to negotiate a settlement for you, we can help you take steps to submit your case to the North Carolina court system. We will also keep track of your case’s deadline so that you do not lose your opportunity to pursue compensation.

Wrongful Death Cases Have a Separate Deadline

If you are a surviving spouse or family member filing on behalf of your loved one, you must submit your case within two years of your loved one’s death, per G.S. § 1-53. Our legal team can also help you fulfill this task.
