What Do You Have to Prove in a Personal Injury Claim?

Not every accident will lead to a personal injury claim. To recover compensation, you will need to show that someone else was at fault for your accident. You will also need to demonstrate that you suffered losses as a result. Examples of such losses include medical bills, lost income, diminished future earnings, and pain and suffering.

Our wrongful death lawyers also advocate for families who have lost loved ones in accidents that could have been prevented.

Types of Damages You Could Recover in a Personal Injury Claim

If you have been injured in an accident that was caused by someone else, you might be entitled to recover compensation for expenses and losses that you have incurred. Examples of the kinds of compensation you could recover include payment for:

  • Medical bills and other out-of-pocket expenses related to your treatment and rehabilitation
  • Purchases of medical devices or renovations of your home to accommodate disabilities or impairments
  • Any future medical care and rehabilitation
  • Permanent disabilities or impairments caused by your injuries
  • Lost income if you missed work
  • Reduced future earning capacity
  • Costs to repair any damaged property, such as your vehicle following a car accident
  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional distress
  • Disfigurement or scarring

You could also be entitled to punitive damages, which are awarded in rare cases of egregious conduct to punish the liable party rather than to reimburse the victim for the losses they have suffered.

An experienced personal injury attorney in Greensboro can review your case and determine what full compensation should include.

What Factors Will Affect the Value of Your Case?

How much compensation you ultimately recover in your personal injury claim will depend on various factors unique to your case, including:

  • The injuries you have sustained
  • Whether you have finished receiving treatment for your injuries or whether you will continue to require treatment or rehabilitation into the future
  • Whether any insurance policy might cover the expenses and losses that you have incurred, as well as the coverage limits of any such policy
  • Whether you have health insurance that will pay for your medical treatment and rehabilitation
  • Whether you were injured in the course and scope of your employment
  • Whether you have or will miss time from work because of your injuries
  • Whether your injuries will result in a permanent disability or some other chronic health condition

How NC Pure Contributory Negligence Law Could Affect Your Case

North Carolina is one of the few states that still uses the old contributory negligence rule. Under this rule, an injured party is barred from recovering compensation for their expenses and losses if they bear any share of fault for the physical harm they have suffered.

Unfortunately, the harsh nature of the contributory negligence rule could prevent you from receiving compensation if the other side can prove that you bear even the smallest share of fault for the accident or your injuries. This is why it is so important to have the help of an experienced Greensboro personal injury lawyer. An attorney knows how to fight back and demand the compensation you deserve.

Statute of Limitations on Personal Injury Claims in North Carolina

Under North Carolina’s statute of limitations on personal injury claims, you typically only have three years from the day you were injured to file a lawsuit against the person who hurt you. If you file suit after the statute of limitations passes, the court can permanently dismiss your case.

Due to this statute of limitations, you should speak with a Greensboro personal injury lawyer as soon as possible. Preparing an effective personal injury claim requires considerable legal work, including investigating the underlying facts and circumstances of your injuries, identifying liable parties and sources of compensation, and working with expert witnesses to build a solid case. You will want to give yourself and your attorney as much time as possible to ensure you’ve prepared a strong claim.

  • Working with expert witnesses to help construct persuasive arguments for your case
  • Identifying all of the at-fault parties and potential sources of compensation, including insurance coverages

  • Taking your case to trial, if litigation becomes the best option for a satisfactory outcome

How Much Does a Greensboro Personal Injury Lawyer Charge?

When you are trying to cope with the financial consequences of devastating injuries, you may be wary of taking on additional expenses in the pursuit of compensation from the people who hurt you. However, with Kreger Brodish LLP, you can retain the services of one of our Greensboro personal injury lawyers at no upfront cost to you. We only get paid when you get the compensation you deserve, either through a settlement or by winning your case at trial. That way, you have no financial risk in starting your personal injury claim.

Furthermore, we offer free initial consultations, so there is also no cost to learn whether you have a case for compensation.

Steps to Take to Protect Your Rights After an Accident

After an accident, you can protect your legal options for pursuing a personal injury claim by taking the following steps:

  • Take photos or videos of the accident scene and any visible injuries you have suffered.
  • Get the names and contact information for any witnesses to your accident.
  • Seek medical attention as soon as possible to document and treat all of your injuries.
  • Follow all treatment instructions.
  • Retain copies of all bills and invoices from expenses incurred due to the accident and your injuries, along with copies of your pay stubs or income statements if you miss time from work.
  • Keep a journal to document how your injuries and recovery have affected your quality of life.
  • Stay off social media. Anything you post could be used to hurt your claim.
  • Do not give a written or recorded statement to the insurance company until you get legal advice.
  • Speak with a Greensboro personal injury lawyer about your rights as soon as possible.
