Transparent, Contingency-Based Pricing
At our firm, we believe everyone deserves access to quality legal representation, regardless of financial circumstances. That’s why we handle all personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis.
No Upfront Costs: Our fee is a percentage of the settlement or verdict, so we’re only paid when you recover compensation.
No Win, No Fee: We only get paid if we win your case, so our success depends on securing the compensation you deserve.
Free Consultation: We offer a free consultation to discuss your case and explain our contingency fee structure.
Avoid These Common Mistakes in Personal Injury Claims
Missing the Statute of Limitations: North Carolina law requires most personal injury claims to be filed within three years. Filing late can result in losing your right to compensation.
Failing to Prove Negligence: Strengthen your case with proper documentation, including photos of the scene, medical records, and witness statements.
Settling Too Quickly: Initial settlement offers are often too low. Consult an attorney to ensure fair compensation for your injuries and losses.
Hurting Your Claim Through Inaction: Delaying medical care, ignoring follow-up treatments, or posting on social media can harm your case and reduce your chances of success.
