Losing a loved one is an unimaginable tragedy, often made worse by the emotional and financial struggle that family members experience afterward. In addition to the emotional challenges people face, they often struggle to make ends meet, and they spend endless hours fighting with insurance companies that refuse to pay what they owe.
At my Southern Shores law firm, I often hear from people who tell me that they have been left no other choice but to take legal action. They never set out to go to court, but the difficulty and callousness of the insurance company forces them to file a lawsuit to protect their family.
That's why I fight so hard for the survivors of personal injury and the wrongful death of a loved one. I know that the losses they have experienced are life-changing, and I do my best to help them move forward.
Under North Carolina law, businesses and individuals who negligently, carelessly or recklessly cause the death of a person are responsible to compensate close family members for the harm they caused. This may include compensation for medical bills, funeral expenses, pain and suffering, loss of income and the loss of having a loving partner in your life.
