Why Raleigh Drivers Choose Nagle & Associates

Raleigh is one of Carl Nagle’s two busiest markets in North Carolina, and it shows in the results our Raleigh clients have collected. When you hire our firm after a car accident, you get an attorney who spends every working day on roadway crash cases, not a general practice that treats your case as one file among many unrelated matters.

Founder Carl Nagle is a former insurance claims adjuster and defense attorney, giving the firm firsthand knowledge of how carriers value, contest, and minimize claims. He worked on the other side of these cases. He knows the tactics adjusters use to delay payment, dispute liability, and pressure injured drivers into settling for less than their claim is worth, and he uses that knowledge to build your case from day one. Meet Carl Nagle.

A Lower Fee, Built for Raleigh Families

The firm’s contingency fee is 25% of the settlement, compared with the 33.3% most personal injury firms charge, so clients keep 75% of every settlement dollar instead of about 66%. You pay nothing up front to hire us, and you owe us nothing unless AND until we collect money for you. For Raleigh families already dealing with medical bills, lost wages, and vehicle repairs after a crash, that difference stays in your pocket. See a full breakdown of our fees.

Local Representation, Statewide Resources

Our Raleigh office serves clients throughout Wake County and the surrounding Triangle area, but you are never limited to the resources of a single office. We come to you. The firm offers free home visits anywhere in North Carolina when travel is difficult because of your injuries. If getting to our Brier Creek Parkway office is difficult because of your injuries, we will come to you.

What Happens When You Hire Our Raleigh Office

Your first conversation with us is a free consultation, by phone or in person at our Brier Creek Parkway office. We ask about the crash, your injuries, and your treatment so far, and we will give you a detailed plan of action even if you prefer not to hire a lawyer. We will also tell you what to look out for in all insurance adjuster interactions. If you hire us, we immediately take over all communication with the insurance company, so you are never again on the phone with an adjuster whose job is to minimize what you are owed.

From there, we investigate the crash to establish fault, identify every insurance policy that may owe you money, including underinsured motorist coverage, and we work with your doctors to build a complete picture of your medical treatment and future care needs. We wait until your treatment is far enough along to understand the full value of your injuries before we send a demand, because settling too early almost always means settling for less than you deserve. Most cases resolve through a simple, private settlement, but if the insurance company will not offer a fair number, we are prepared to take your case to trial in your home county. Our Raleigh trial team has handled litigation in Wake, Durham, and Orange Counties, and in counties across the state.

Frequently Asked Questions

What if I was partly at fault for the accident?

North Carolina follows a strict contributory negligence rule. If you are found even 1% at fault for the crash, you can be barred from recovering anything from the other driver. Insurance adjusters know this and will look for any reason to shift even a small share of blame onto you. This is one of the biggest reasons to have a lawyer involved before you give a recorded statement or sign anything.

How long do I have to file a claim after a Raleigh car accident?

In most North Carolina car accident cases, you have three years from the date of the crash to file a lawsuit. If the crash resulted in a death, North Carolina’s Wrongful Death Act shortens that deadline to two years, and an estate must be opened before a lawsuit can be filed. Waiting too long can also make it harder to gather evidence and locate witnesses, so it is best to speak with a lawyer as soon as possible after the crash.

Do I really need a lawyer who only handles car accident cases?

Nagle & Associates is North Carolina’s only law firm that handles exclusively motor vehicle accident cases. Our attorneys are not splitting their attention between car accidents, medical malpractice, workers’ compensation, and other unrelated practice areas. Every case in our office is a roadway crash case. See the full range of cases we handle.

What does it cost to hire your Raleigh office?

Nothing up front. Our fee is 25% of the settlement, well below the 33.3% most personal injury firms charge, and you owe us nothing unless AND until we recover money for you.

What if I can't get to the Raleigh office?

With seven offices statewide, the firm serves all 100 North Carolina counties and offers free home visits when an office visit is inconvenient. If your injuries make it difficult to travel to our Brier Creek Pkwy office, we will come to you.
