Car Accident Lawyers
Personal Injury, Wrongful Death and Motor Vehicle Wrecks/Collisions
If you have been injured in a car accident in
North Carolina, you should not talk to any insurance company
other than your own. The opposing insurance company's goal is to
minimize it's payout to you. One way they try to accomplish this
goal is by quickly getting you to make a statement that will
damage your case.
At the Knox Law Center, our duty as
lawyers is to help you get the recovery that is best for
you. With offices in Charlotte and Denver, we represent motor
vehicle accident victims throughout North Carolina. We also
represent families who lose loved ones in fatal accidents. Our
lawyers provide a free initial consultation. Contact
Us to discuss your case.
Under our contingency fee arrangement, we will
not charge you unless we win.
Contributory negligence in auto accident cases
North Carolina is a contributory negligence
state. This means that if the other driver's insurance company
is able to show that you were even 1 percent at fault for the
accident, then you will not be able to recover any compensation
for damages such as medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and
suffering. For example, if an insurance adjustor can get you to
agree that you were speeding, even just a little over the limit,
that may be the end of your case, no matter how much at fault
the other side was.
Our job as your attorneys is to preserve your
rights to compensation. By law in North Carolina, the other
side's insurance adjustor is not allowed to talk with you once
you tell him or her that you are represented by a lawyer.
Dealing with complex insurance issues
Our lawyers have experience in dealing with
complex insurance issues such as MedPay, stackable coverage
(which enables you to combine insurance from different
vehicles), and uninsured and underinsured drivers coverage. We
will also advise you on how to obtain medical coverage from your
health insurance, Medicaid, or Medicare while your legal case is
in process. We understand how to deal with ERISA and issues of
subrogation to minimize or eliminate the amount you must
maximize your bottom line.
If you have suffered catastrophic injuries,
our lawyers will hire medical experts and life-care planners to
make sure that we identify all of your long-term needs before we
attempt to settle your case. If you are on Medicaid, we will
help create a special-needs trust for your lawsuit recovery to
maintain your eligibility for Medicaid payments.
