Car Accidents

No one wants car accidents to happen. However, such unfortunate incidents happen daily in North Carolina. No matter how careful you are, there are hundreds of drunk drivers, distracted drivers, and reckless drivers, along with those who are unaware of road rules. If a negligent driver caused an accident that led to serious injuries, our experienced North Carolina lawyer can help you. 

At Diener Law, you can find a dedicated personal injury attorney to help you with your case. Call us today to schedule a free consultation.

• Get the other driver’s information. Make sure to collect their contact information, and insurance information. If they do not have insurance, be sure to get their address and phone number.
• Talk to witnesses. If there are people around who saw the accident, ask for their contact information. Eyewitness statements can be crucial to building your case. 
• NEVER admit fault. It may be instinctive for you to say sorry or apologize for the incident. Admission of fault may cause the other party’s attorney or insurer against you. When the police ask, tell them the truth but do not explain why the accident happened.
• Get in touch with a car accident lawyer immediately.  A skilled attorney can be the deal-breaker for you to get rightfully compensated. Gain peace of mind while you recover as our savvy car accident lawyer deals with the legal end of your car accident.

No matter the image they present, insurance companies are still businesses. Profit is their goal. They will look for any excuse to reduce the payment or even deny your claim and some won’t be afraid to resort to dirty tactics. Let your injury attorney handle the negotiation. 

Insurance policies are complicated, too. They are intentionally designed to be confusing. A skilled accident attorney can sift through all the legalese so you know your coverages and what you can expect to get from the other driver.

North Carolina is pretty strict when it comes to determining negligence.  The state follows the doctrine of contributory negligence. In other words, if you were even partly at fault for the crash, you won’t be able to file for damages. 

A skilled lawyer can ensure that you can get compensated for damages. If it’s found that you’re even 1% to blame for the accident, you lose any chance of recovering compensation for your claim. 

Get in touch with a lawyer immediately. North Carolina law provides three years under the statute of limitation for filing a personal injury claim. After this period, you cannot get compensated. 

To make everything easier, our attorneys will need documentation of all expenses related to the accident. This may include:

Repair Costs: You can also claim damages from the cost to repair your vehicle. 

Lost Wages: If you were unable to work due to your recovery period, or if the injuries permanently affect your ability to work, you may be entitled to the potential income you’ve lost. 

Medical Bills: Maintain an accurate record of all expenses related to the injury from the accident, such as doctor appointments, surgery costs, hospital bills, and any past or future treatment.  

North Carolina, unlike other states, has no maximum limit on the compensation you can recover. Our attorneys will fight for the maximum compensation possible to help you recover financially from the crash. 

Car accidents are different. The details of your case affects how much you can get from the at-fault driver. A consultation will allow our competent car accident lawyers to assess the unique circumstances of your accident to determine the merits of your case when you file a personal injury claim. 

The types of car crashes we see often include:

Speeding Accidents: Speeding is a type of reckless driving that can result in significant injuries. Speeding drivers are unable to come to a complete stop in a timely manner.

Rear-End Collisions: Rear-end collisions are one of the most prevalent forms of accidents and can result in serious whiplash and spinal cord damage.

Distracted/Texting While Driving: Distracted drivers take their eyes off the road, increasing the likelihood of colliding with other vehicles.

Drugged Driver Accidents: When a driver’s reflexes are inhibited by drugs, they may collide with another vehicle.

Drunk Driver Accidents: Drunk drivers are responsible for many accidents, including major ones that result in catastrophic injuries.

Hit-and-Run Accidents: When a car collides with you and flees the scene, an attorney can assist you in locating the liable individual.

Car/Mechanical Defects: Manufacturer flaws can cause cars to stop working properly, resulting in crashes. The maker may be held liable for the harm caused.

Road Defects: Potholes and other road faults might lead you to lose control of your automobile and crash through no fault of your own. The municipality in charge of the road may be held accountable for your accident.

Accidents involving Underinsured/Uninsured Drivers: If you are hit by an uninsured or underinsured driver, a lawyer can assist you in obtaining the necessary coverage.
