Commonly asked questions about Fayetteville, NC car accident cases
First, check for injuries and call 911. Seek medical attention even if you feel fine—some injuries may not show symptoms right away. Next, document the scene: take photos of the vehicles, the location, your injuries, and any traffic signs or lights. Exchange information with the other driver and get contact details from witnesses.
Most importantly, avoid admitting fault and contact a personal injury attorney quickly. Having car accident lawyers on your side early can protect your rights and help you deal with the insurance company properly.
North Carolina law gives you three years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury case. If the accident resulted in a fatality, a wrongful death claim must be filed within two years. Missing these deadlines can result in losing your right to compensation entirely. That’s why it’s essential to speak with a qualified car accident attorney as soon as possible to begin building your case.
If the at-fault driver is uninsured or underinsured, you may still be able to recover compensation through your own auto insurance policy. North Carolina requires drivers to carry uninsured motorist (UM) coverage. Our auto accident attorneys can review your policy and help you file a UM claim to pursue recovery for your accident injuries, medical bills, and other damages.
Every case is different, and the value depends on factors like the severity of your injuries, the cost of medical treatment, lost income, impact on your quality of life, and whether the insurance company accepts full responsibility. Our experienced personal injury attorneys will assess your case thoroughly and fight to recover full compensation for pain and suffering, property damage, and other losses.
Even if your injuries seem minor, it’s still a good idea to consult with a Fayetteville car accident lawyer. Some injuries, like whiplash or internal trauma, can worsen over time. Additionally, insurance companies may try to offer quick, lowball settlements. A lawyer can help you understand your rights, avoid mistakes, and ensure you’re not shortchanged.
