Greensboro: Car Accident Lawyer

What Your Claim May Be Worth

North Carolina law lets a car accident victim collect medical expenses already incurred along with the cost of whatever future care your doctors say you’ll need. Lost wages and lost future earning capacity are recoverable as well. On top of that sits tax-free compensation for pain, suffering, permanency of injury, scarring or disfigurement, and lost quality of life.

The at-fault driver’s policy is often not the only money available.  In many cases, the driver is covered under more than one car insurance policy.  We also look for umbrella policies, which typically provide an additional $1 million in coverage.  We check whether the driver was on the clock, because an employer’s commercial liability insurance policy may then apply. When the other driver’s limits fall short of what your Greensboro car accident claim is actually worth, your own uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage will also provide additional cash benefits. We apply our state’s policy stacking laws to collect from multiple UIM policies in every serious injury case.  

What to Do After a Car Accident in Greensboro

1. Call 911 and get checked out, even if you feel mostly fine. Concussions and soft tissue injuries tend to surface two or three days later. An early medical record does more for a claim than almost anything else you can do.
2. Make sure Greensboro police respond and file a report. The officer will hand you a Driver Exchange Form with a report number on it. You’ll need that number to pull the official DMV-349 crash report.  We are glad to help you get your police report at no cost.
3. Photograph the cars, the scene, the skid marks, and your injuries if you can do it safely.
4. Trade insurance information with every driver involved. Get witness names and phone numbers yourself, because officers frequently don’t collect them.
5. Tell your own insurer about the crash. Turn down recorded statements from any insurance company until you’ve had legal advice. We can report all the claims safely on your behalf.
6. Call our office for a free consultation if you were hurt. We’ll tell you what to watch out for even if you’d rather not hire a lawyer.

How Our Firm Handles Your Case

We handle all insurance communications and all of the paperwork and legwork on your behalf. You see your doctors, we handle everything else. From the first day, our team pulls the crash report, talks to witnesses, tracks down photographs and any video that exists, and reviews your medical records as your treatment goes on.

Two retired North Carolina State Troopers and three licensed North Carolina insurance adjusters work on our staff. Accident reconstruction and claim building happen in this office instead of going out to a vendor. We build every file as though a Guilford County jury will eventually see it. Carriers pay full value when they believe a firm will actually take them to trial.

Most cases settle privately and these clients never set foot in a courtroom. There’s more on our Why Choose Us page, and our North Carolina car accident practice overview explains how the firm works statewide.
