The Benefits of Hiring Our Durham Car Accident Attorneys
Car accidents can be stressful and complex to deal with alone, especially while recovering from injuries. Time away from work coupled with mounting medical bills and calls with the insurer can quickly become overwhelming.
Our goal is to make the legal process as hassle-free as possible while supporting you and your family. This way, you do not have to worry about finding the evidence to build a strong case, negotiating for a fair settlement, or making mistakes that could harm your accident case.
We Will Uncover the Cause of Your Car Accident
Due to our time and experience in this area of personal injury law, we can build a solid case that supports your claims about the cause and effects of the accident. We will uncover the evidence we need to determine the cause of your collision. Through that, we will find evidence of the other driver’s negligence that will allow us to pursue them for your damages.

What To Do After a Car Accident in North Carolina
After a car accident, you can do several things to protect your best interests in a personal injury claim. The most important thing to tend to first is your health, so it is essential to seek medical attention if you or anyone else is injured. Because some injuries, such as concussions, are not apparent or symptomatic right away, it is beneficial to request a check with your doctor for peace of mind.
If you can, and it is safe, taking pictures of the accident scene and any damage to the vehicles involved is a good idea. Be sure to capture how the cars are positioned on the road. You will also want to get license and insurance information for all drivers and contact information for any witnesses to the accident.
If you are unable to gather evidence at the scene, do not worry, we can do that for you.
Three Important Phone Calls to Make After an Accident
If there are injuries or vehicle damage, you must contact the local police, who will create an accident report. You will also need to notify your insurance company within your policy timeframe (this can be as little as 24 hours with some providers). However, at this stage, you only need to provide basic details about the “when” and “where” of the accident.
Finally, contacting our team can be beneficial if you have questions or need help with your case. We will manage every aspect of your claim or lawsuit and handle all communications with insurance companies on your behalf. This way, you can focus on making a solid recovery without the burden of managing a complex legal case.
