Charlotte Car Wreck Lawyer

North Carolina is one of the worst states to file a claim for compensation after an accident, especially without a lawyer. The state follows the contributory negligence legal system, which is often regarded as unfair and plaintiff-unfriendly. The good news is that you're not alone in this fight. If you fill out our case evaluation form, we will review your case for free and contact you to discuss the next steps, including the possibility of representing you in your quest to secure a settlement.

    What Damages Can a Car Wreck Lawyer Help Me Recover?

    In this state, the responsible party, also known as the "at-fault" party, bears the financial responsibility for the full range of resulting damages. These damages may include but are not limited to medical expenses incurred due to accident-related injuries, the costs associated with repairing or replacing a totaled vehicle, physical and emotional pain and suffering endured by the injured parties, and financial losses such as the loss of income due to the accident. 

    I Lost a Loved One in a Car Wreck in Charlotte. How Can an Attorney Help?

    In such a case, a skilled attorney can help you file a wrongful death claim and recover funeral expenses, medical expenses (if the deceased succumbed to their injuries while receiving medical attention), and loss of financial support (if the deceased was the plaintiff's breadwinner), and so forth. 

    How Long After a Car Wreck Do I Have To File a Lawsuit?

    Such a civil lawsuit must be filed within three years. The three-year deadline starts from the date of the accident. Failure to file within this timeframe can result in the loss of your right to sue. 

    The filing deadline for wrongful death claims arising from a car accident is two years. The clock starts running from the day of the deceased person's death, which may occur after the accident itself. 

    How Soon After the Accident Should I Contact a Lawyer?

    As a general rule, the sooner, the better. This gives the attorney enough time to build a strong case on your behalf. This process also involves gathering strong evidence, interviewing witnesses, reviewing and filing crucial paperwork, and so on. If your attorney lacks enough time to strengthen your case, there is always the risk of settling for less than you deserve.

    How Much Does It Cost To Hire a Car Wreck Lawyer?

    It doesn't cost anything. While we cannot speak for other injury firms, our attorneys work on a contingency basis. This means they only get paid if they secure a settlement or verdict for your case. If they don't, you will not owe us anything.

    How Much Does Morgan and Morgan Take From a Settlement?

    We usually deduct between 30 to 40 percent of the settlement or verdict to settle attorney fees and other legal expenses associated with the case. Before we even take on the case, we'll discuss the exact figure with you to make sure we're on the same page from the onset.
