Hiring a Chapel Hill personal injury lawyer after a crash caused by someone driving while impaired can give you a better chance of making a full financial recovery. Our team provides comprehensive legal assistance, and we can help you by:

Explaining Your Next Steps

Our team will take the time to explain everything that you should do after a crash. Generally, you’ll need to report the crash, get medical treatment, and take pictures of your injuries and any damage done to your vehicle.

Gathering Evidence to Build Your Claim

We can collect evidence to show that someone else caused your crash. Our investigation may require us to:

  • Take statements from eyewitnesses
  • Get a copy of the other driver’s blood alcohol content (BAC) report
  • Collect a copy of the police accident report
  • Visit the scene of the collision
  • Look for dashcam and surveillance footage

Fighting to Bring You Compensation

A drunk driving accident attorney from our team will quickly get to work on your behalf to resolve your claim and bring you compensation to cover all of your losses. In many cases, we can negotiate with the insurance company to secure a settlement.

If the insurance company refuses to negotiate, we can help with a personal injury lawsuit.
