North Carolina Car Accidents
In 2009, according to federal statistics, more than 1,300 people died in motor vehicles crashes on North Carolina roads and highways. Nearly a third of those deaths occurred in North Carolina automobile accidents that involved a drunk driver. Many of those car crashes were avoidable accidents caused by driver errors, such as speeding, distracted driving, impaired driving or other forms of negligence.
Negligent operation of a vehicle can take many forms such as the following:
- Drunk driving;
- Excessive speed;
- Cell phone use;
- Inattention;
- Failure to adjust to conditions;
- Failure to yield the right of way;
- Running red lights or stop signs;
- Failure to maintain control of a vehicle; and
- Reckless driving.
At the Elmore Law Firm, we commit to you that if we take your case, we will devote ourselves to making sure you receive a fair recovery. In addition to investigating fault of the negligent driver, we may also investigate whether a defective automobile part caused or contributed to your injuries, such as if the brakes failed or if a defective design caused your car to rollover. A defective product may increase your recovery from an avoidable automobile accident.
With over 30 years of experience representing individuals who were injured in car, truck and motorcycle accidents, we have the legal skill to ensure that you are fully compensated for your injuries. We can help you recover lost wages and work to ensure that all of your current and future medical costs are covered.
We can also help you recover payment from your own insurance company for medical payment (Med Pay) as well as for uninsured (UM) and underinsured (UIM) motorist coverage. Please check your insurance policies and with your insurance agent/company to ensure that you are have adequate Med Pay, UM and UIM coverage. Med Pay coverage often provides relief from paying your medical bills while settlement negotiations are ongoing.
