Personal Injury FAQ

How Much Does an Injury Attorney Cost?

We work on a contingency basis, which means there are no upfront costs and we don’t get paid any attorney fees unless we win your case and you receive compensation.

How Long Do I Have to File an Injury Claim?

In North Carolina, you must file your injury claim within the statute of limitations. With few exceptions, you must file a claim within three years of the date of injury, or within two years of the date of death in a wrongful death case.

How Much Is My Case Worth?

There are never any guarantees regarding the outcome of a personal injury claim, and potential settlement or judgment amounts vary based on the unique facts and circumstances of the case. For a free case review, contact us today.

How Do I Get Started With a Case?

We offer a free case review where an attorney will listen to you, investigate your claim, and advise you on your best available legal options. We can consult with you by phone, email, text, or video conference, and can even come to you if it’s more convenient. If you decide to hire us to represent you, you can complete the necessary forms online and we can get started right away.
