How Can a Personal Injury Lawyer Help Me?

The chances are that you’ve never had an injury serious enough to need the help of an injury attorney. An experienced personal injury attorney can help you navigate the often-complicated injury claims process and prevent an insurance company from taking advantage of you. If you haven’t needed an attorney, we’ll explain what we’ll do to help you get the full and fair compensation if you have been harmed by someone else’s negligence.

A large part of our practice involves representing people who have been hurt in car, truck, motorcycle, and other motor vehicle-related accidents caused by other motorists. Many accidents happen each day in Garner and throughout Wake County. Sometimes, people are severely injured in preventable collisions in Garner caused by a careless driver or intoxicated driver.

If you’ve been hurt in a car accident caused by another driver, you may be entitled to demand compensation for the costs you’ll inevitably incur, including:

• Medical bills
• Lost wages from time missed from work
• Vehicle repairs or complete replacement if the vehicle was totaled
• Loss of future income if you’ve become disabled
• Travel costs and expenses for treatment
• Rehabilitation and medical devices

Most people are unprepared for the significant financial toll that a severe or catastrophic injury can thrust upon them. Your own insurance policy will only provide so much coverage, and the impact of a serious crash can be financially devastating for some individuals and families.

In addition to the economic strain that an accident can cause, there is also the emotional toll it can take. The pain of your injuries, surgery, and rehabilitation should not be ignored. The mental anguish and post-traumatic stress you might be forced to deal with after a devastating accident deserves to be recognized.

Our experienced Garner car collision attorneys will seek compensation from the person who caused the accident, because we believe that you should never have to pay for another driver’s poor decisions. North Carolina law allows you to hold negligent drivers accountable for the harm you have suffered, and that’s precisely what we’ll seek to do.

Our legal team will investigate the crash, determine how it happened and who was responsible, and then evaluate the full impact the crash has had and will have on your life. Our attorneys will calculate your present and future losses related to your injury. We’ll issue a demand letter requesting that the insurance company pay a settlement that reflects the seriousness of your injuries and financial losses. If the insurance company refuses to agree to a fair settlement, our trial attorneys will be prepared to take them to court to demand justice for you.

How Do I Know If I Have a Personal Injury Case in Garner?

It is not uncommon for accident victims to be unsure whether they have a valid personal injury case. Determining liability after an accident can be challenging, especially if it becomes a “he said, she said” situation. We recommend that you always seek immediate medical attention after any injury accident, and then contact an injury lawyer right away to review the details of the accident and explain your options.

The State of North Carolina’s negligence laws allow those who’ve been hurt in accidents to seek compensation from the other party. It is important to note that North Carolina follows a contributory negligence doctrine. That means that if your own actions contributed to the accident, then you will be barred from recovering any compensation. After reviewing the specifics of your accident, we can discuss how contributory negligence applies to your situation.

Determining fault can be complicated, particularly when it comes to the insurance companies. The other person’s insurer will seek to protect the company’s bottom line and pay as little as possible to settle an injury claim. The insurer may try to claim that you are partially at fault, even if you are not. It is crucial to have a knowledgeable attorney who understands insurance company negotiating tactics to advocate for you and demand what is fair.

If the other party’s insurer denies, delays, or tries to diminish your injury claim, Hardison & Cochran will fight for you.
