Personal Injury: Traffic Accidents and Other Claims

The firm describes traffic accidents as one of the most common incidents among North Carolina residents and notes that they can occur both on residential streets and congested highways. In its discussion of such cases, it explains that to claim compensation it is necessary to prove that the other driver did not operate his or her vehicle with the same care and skill that a prudent and reasonable driver would use in the same situation, which generally requires keeping eyes on the road, obeying traffic laws, and adjusting speed and driving to sudden hazards or severe weather. If liability is proven, the plaintiff may be entitled to recover damages such as medical expenses and lost wages. The firm warns that defendants may attempt to avoid liability, for example, by blaming the plaintiff for acting negligently, and maintains that a seasoned personal injury attorney can help build the strongest possible case.
