How Were You Injured in Your Charlotte Personal Injury Case?
North Carolina is one of four states and the District of Columbia that has adopted laws that follow the principle of pure contributory negligence. According to Cornell Law, contributory negligence occurs when a plaintiff is barred from recovering any compensation in a personal injury case if they can be found to be even one percent responsible for causing the accident.
Pure contributory negligence laws favor the defendant and their insurance company because if they can prove the victim made any negligent act that could have contributed to the accident, they are completely off the hook for paying compensation. The law makes insurance companies aggressive, even when you are at your lowest and dealing with severe injuries. If you want someone dedicated to your case, contact a Charlotte personal injury lawyer.

Seek to negotiate or recover an amount that will cover the total costs of your economic and noneconomic damages. Coming to this number is not guesswork, and must be done by an experienced attorney, otherwise you may end up with very little. In North Carolina, non-economic damages (pain and suffering) resulting from medical malpractice are capped at roughly $533,000, which is another reason that you need to work with an attorney to maximize what little there is available if you are a victim of a serious medical error.
While it is crucial that your lawyer has vast experience dealing with insurance companies out of court and settling claims as smoothly and efficiently as possible, their area of skill and knowledge should not stop there. Not all law firms are adept at representing clients in court. Because 95 to 96 percent of all personal injury cases are settled pre-trial, according to the Law Dictionary, many attorneys have no real experience in court. They may have skated by through accepting low settlement offers throughout their career and shortchanging their clients in the process. Our attorneys have the courtroom experience needed to win your case, and, importantly, the courtroom clout that insurance companies throughout the state respect. We are well known for our prowess in trials, which bolsters our ability to come to substantial and fair terms out of court with insurance companies that are willing to cut their losses and do not wish to lose in the courtroom.
