Legal Advocacy for the Injury

“During peak vacation season in Dare County NC, we see a tremendous increase in the number people hurt in boating accidents, car accidents, motorcycle wrecks, and pedestrian injuries.” – Danny Glover, Hatteras NC Lawyer
Our law firm has more than 24 years providing legal representation to clients injured in negligence cases. The NC Accident Laws are relatively complicated and at times confusing.Who is Liable for an Accident?
That, in part, is due to how accident cases are presented in court and the legal defenses insurance companies are afforded. North Carolina is one of the few court systems left in the United States that recognizes the legal defense of contributory negligence.
Unlike the majority of the country, personal injury cases in North Carolina are not subject to a comparative negligence or apportionment of legal responsibility or liability in vehicle accident cases. That means in addition to proving the “causation of the accident,” experienced Plaintiff’s Lawyers must anticipate a counter-claim for “contrib” or contributory negligence in North Carolina.
The contributory negligence laws in North Carolina are incredibly unfair and regularly result in un-just results. Even if the tortfeasor (the person primarily responsible for the accident) is determined to be 99% negligent, the NC accident laws prevent any form of recovery for money damages, lost wages, or compensation for personal injuries.
Because of that, accident injury attorneys in Hatteras NC must carefully consider case-selection and what matters to undertake for legal representation in Dare County NC. Plaintiffs lawyers are paid a percentage of the settlement or recovery after judgment or verdict.What are Damages in Accident Injury Cases?
That is part of what legal professionals refer to as Contingency Fees or a Contingent Fee legal representation. The legal fees are contingent upon success in obtaining money damages for accident claims. The client is ultimately responsible for the costs of litigation.
