A personal injury can leave you with tremendous hardships. From steep medical bills to lost time from work, these problems could last for months, even years, into the future. If your injury was caused by the careless or negligent actions of another person or business, you have the right to seek compensation for all of the hardships you have suffered.
At Grimes Yeoman, PLLC, in Mooresville, we understand and are here to help. Our Mooresville personal injury lawyers are skilled litigators with a proven record of success protecting the rights of injury victims throughout North Carolina.
Our lawyers are prepared to represent you in any type of personal injury claim, including those arising from:
Insurance companies do not thrive by freely paying the full value of personal injury claims. This is why it is so important to have a skilled personal injury attorney on your side. We have the legal knowledge and investigative resources to find the underlying facts in personal injury lawsuits. We know how to make them pay.
No matter how serious your injury or how complex the issues, our attorneys are prepared to guide you to a successful outcome. We provide skilled, attentive representation to people who have suffered severe and life-changing injuries as well as families who have lost loved ones in fatal accidents.
After an accident, get emergency medical care if needed, report the incident when appropriate, collect contact information and photos, and preserve medical records, receipts, and proof of missed work. Avoid making assumptions about fault or accepting a settlement before you understand the full extent of your injuries. For motor vehicle crashes, the North Carolina Department of Insurance states that bodily-injury claims may include medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering directly caused by the crash.
In many North Carolina personal injury cases, the deadline to file suit is three years. Under N.C. Gen. Stat. § 1-52, the limitations period generally applies to personal injury claims, with accrual tied to when the bodily harm becomes—or reasonably should become—apparent. Different deadlines and notice requirements can apply to wrongful-death claims, claims involving government entities, medical malpractice, or other specific circumstances; for example, North Carolina law generally provides two years for wrongful-death actions.
Available compensation depends on the facts of the case and the evidence. A personal injury claim may seek damages for medical treatment, rehabilitation, lost income, reduced earning capacity, property damage, and pain and suffering when those losses are legally connected to another party’s negligence. In an auto-insurance claim, North Carolina’s Department of Insurance specifically identifies doctor and hospital bills, laboratory fees, lost wages, and pain and suffering as potential bodily-injury damages.
