Workers' Compensation Claims: Not all workers' compensation claims require the involvement of an attorney. However, there are times when you should seek legal advice: if you have suffered a serious injury on the job, if the injury has affected your ability to earn a living or if your workers' compensation claim has been denied.
Construction Accidents: While workers' compensation is usually the sole remedy for an injured construction worker in North Carolina, there are exceptions. If you have been hurt badly in a construction accident, it's important to investigate all possible sources of recovery.
Spinal Cord Injuries: A legal case involving a spinal cord injury is about more than the injury. It's about considering everything you will need in the future, including therapy, medical technology, attendant care, and vehicle and home modifications to live as full a life as possible.
Catastrophic Injuries: If you have suffered a catastrophic injury, your life will change as a result. Your quality of life may depend on the recovery you obtain from a personal injury lawsuit or workers' compensation claim.
Brain Injuries: A traumatic brain injury can occur in any accident that involves a blow to the head: a car accident, a slip and fall, an assault or being struck by a falling object. The person who suffers the injury may not even realize that brain.
Repetitive Stress Injuries: If not properly diagnosed and treated, repetitive stress can cause permanent damage to your muscles, ligaments, tendons and nerves. The right lawyer can make sure you are getting the most competent medical treatment available.
Car Accidents: If you've been injured in a car accident, you probably have a lot of questions about what happens next. I offer a free initial consultation to help you answer those questions.
Motorcycle Accidents: If you have suffered serious injuries in a motorcycle accident, either as a rider or a passenger, it's important to remember that you will have only one opportunity to obtain fair compensation for what you have lost. Once your case is resolved, whether by settlement or jury verdict, you will not be able to submit future claims.
Wrongful Death: A wrongful death case occurs when your loved one is killed as a result of someone else's negligence. These cases are highly emotional and like no other lawsuit.
