Chapel Hill Personal Injury Lawyer 

Personal injury lawsuits arise in circumstances where a plaintiff has suffered some sort of mental or physical harm. If the harm suffered by the plaintiff is a harm that is recognized by the law as worthy of compensation, then the plaintiff may sue a defendant (or defendants) for damages suffered.

If you have suffered an injury due to another’s negligence, get in contact with a skilled personal injury lawyer. A Chapel Hill personal injury lawyer will be well versed in many aspects of personal injury law and can help you pursue compensation.

Types of Personal Injury Lawsuits

There are various types of personal injury lawsuits that can be brought against a party who has caused harm to another party.

  • Assault and battery lawsuits
  • Catastrophic injury lawsuits
  • Slip and fall
  • Workplace injuries
  • Wrongful death actions
  • Auto accidents
  • Premises liability

The laws of North Carolina provide for many more causes of action that can be brought against a defendant in a personal injury context. An experienced Chapel Hill personal injury lawyer will try to properly determine what action to file in court.

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

Typical Auto Accident Lawsuits

Suppose a plaintiff seeks out the representation of an attorney in relation to an auto accident. Assume the plaintiff has suffered actual physical damages as well as damages to the vehicle involved in the accident. The plaintiff would bring all of the facts to the attorney.

If the attorney decides to take the case, then the first person the attorney will contact is the plaintiff’s insurance company. It is best to have an attorney speak with the insurance company because the insurance company will make every effort possible to either deny or minimize the relief available to the plaintiff. An attorney will be able to properly point to various provisions in the insurance contract and ensure that the insurance company is acting properly. An auto accident case can potentially end in settlement with the insurance company.

However, if for some reason the insurance company’s offer is too low or if the insurance company denies the claim, the lawyer can file suit in the court to seek the proper relief. If a personal injury claim makes it to this point, it is critical that a plaintiff have a competent Chapel Hill personal injury lawyer for representation. The attorney will try to properly write the complaint and try to make sure to allege facts in a manner that make the complaint worthy of relief by a court who has jurisdiction to hear the matter.
