NC Car Accident Settlements and Compensation

When you’re a crash victim, the bottom line is that car wrecks are expensive. Not only will you likely need to repair or replace your vehicle – additionally, you may be dealing with costly medical bills.

These expenses can be financially debilitating, especially if you cannot work while you are in recovery. Filing a car accident claim gives you the opportunity to be compensated for your losses, so that you and your family do not have to worry about how you will pay for your medical bills. Filing a claim also gives you the chance to hold the careless driver responsible.

Every state has different laws when it comes to fault and liability for auto accidents. North Carolina is an at “fault state,” which means that, as the injury victim, you are responsible for proving the other driver was at fault for the car wreck. Our attorneys can gather, analyze, and present evidence to support your claim, such as medical records related to crash injuries, photographs or surveillance footage of the accident or crash site, interviews with eyewitnesses to the collision, expert analysis from forensic investigators, and other information about the circumstances surrounding the accident.

If you can show that the other driver was at fault for the car wreck, you may be awarded compensation by a jury. However, it is uncommon for car accident claims to go all the way to trial. More frequently, the at-fault driver’s insurance company will agree to a settlement negotiated outside of court. The settlement negotiation process, which generally requires several months or more to complete, begins when you send the at-fault driver’s insurance company a “demand package” or “demand letter,” which outlines the facts of the claim and states the amount of compensation you are seeking. If the insurance company refuses to agree to a settlement of a reasonable amount, the next step is going to trial.
