Reckless Driving Accident Lawyer in Cary

Reckless driving sees motorists actively endanger everyone on the road around them, from pedestrians and cyclists to their fellow drivers.

Fortunately, you have the right to hold reckless drivers accountable for their misconduct if their negligence results in a serious crash. Our reckless driving accident lawyers in Cary can help you file an insurance claim against a liable party and pursue a personal injury lawsuit.

Whitley Law Firm takes pride in serving as an innovative, compassionate, and empowering law firm for North Carolina residents.

Our car accident lawyers in Cary believe in making the law accessible and offer services on a contingency fee basis, ensuring that everyone can fight for the justice they deserve in the wake of a reckless driving accident.

We’ve answered the call since 1974. Start working with an experienced lawyer today.

What is Reckless Driving?

The term “reckless driving” may account for behaviors like the following:

  • Speeding
  • Ignoring signs indicating unsafe construction zones
  • Passing without a signal
  • Passing without leaving a safe amount of space between vehicles
  • Impaired driving
  • Driving without a license or on a suspended license
  • Refusing to obey traffic laws
  • Purposefully evading police officers
  • Racing

All of these behaviors can see applicable parties accused of violating the law. If these behaviors result in dangerous accidents, victims like you can reach out to a Cary personal injury lawyer to discuss what steps to take to hold negligent parties financially responsible for your recovery.

The Whitley Advantage isn’t just one thing – it’s everything.

Who Can You Name as Responsible for Your Reckless Driving Accident?

Your right to name certain parties liable for losses sustained in a reckless driving accident will hinge on your ability to bring forward evidence of the other driver’s negligence.

You must have enough evidence to meet or surpass North Carolina’s burden of proof, or else neither your insurance claim nor your personal injury lawsuit will move forward.

The evidence that has the greatest impact on your case will vary depending on your circumstances. However, our team won’t make you return to the scene of your accident to gather that data.

We work with professional investigators on behalf of our reckless driving accident victims and can use the data they find to lay the groundwork for your case.

Evidence like electronic data, photos, video footage, witness statements, expert witness reports, and physical debris allows us to hold parties like the following responsible for serious accidents:

  • Fellow motorists
  • Construction crews and other third parties on the road
  • Government officials who’ve neglected the care and keeping of North Carolina roads

When Should You Schedule a Consultation With a Cary Reckless Driving Accident Lawyer?

The sooner you can schedule a case consultation with an experienced attorney, the better. You’re up against North Carolina’s personal injury statute of limitations when you move to file a civil claim against the liable party, meaning you’ll need to act quickly if you want to finalize a completed claim before time runs out.

Getting in touch with our Cary reckless driving accident attorneys early in your recovery also allows you to rely on us to build out a case on your behalf without infringing on your right to recover.

You can rest and recuperate while we:

  • Return to the scene of your accident and gather data relevant to your recovery.
  • Interface with insurance adjusters and prevent them from pressuring you for statements or otherwise minimizing your losses.
  • Find the evidence needed to assign liability for the losses you sustained during your accident.
  • File an insurance claim or personal injury lawsuit according to industry standards, emphasizing your right to fair support.
  • Represent you in conversations with insurance adjusters, legal officials, and other parties, making it that much easier to redirect conversations to the importance of your recovery.

Your reckless driving case consultation with Whitley Law Firm comes free of charge and will not lock you into any kind of long-form legal action. If you want to discuss your right to legal action following an accident, you can book your appointment with our staff today.

What Should You Expect if You File a Personal Injury Claim?

Filing a personal injury claim against the party responsible for your reckless driving accident may not require you to go to trial to demand compensation for losses sustained due to a reckless driver’s negligence. You can instead use a personal injury claim to summon a reckless driver or a related party for private settlement negotiations.

If a liable party refuses to acknowledge the validity of your request for compensation, or if they continually try to minimize your right to recover, you can work with our team to take your fight for compensation to a civil trial.

Our team is made up of experienced litigators who can prepare you to undergo:

  • Discovery
  • Opening statements
  • Examination
  • Cross-examination
  • Closing statements
  • Deliberation and verdict

When Do You Need to Finalize Your Paperwork?

To move your personal injury claim forward after a reckless driving accident, make sure you file your finalized claim before North Carolina’s personal injury statute of limitations expires.

This statute, outlined in N.C. Stat. § 1-52(5), only gives you three years to name the right parties financially liable for your recovery.

Working with a Cary reckless driving lawyer can make it easier for you to stay on top of your claim’s filing deadline.

This firm has always been about people and helping them.
