Motor Vehicle Injuries

While no car accident is convenient, these incidents can have a wide range of possible consequences. The most regrettable consequences can include devastating personal injuries, loss of employment, pain and suffering, and vehicle property damage. Victims of these accidents may feel like they have nowhere to turn. In fact, law enforcement officials may not be looking out for their best interests and insurance companies may only be protecting their own interests. At Arnold & Smith, PLLC, our personal injury attorneys can be the advocate you need. Our goal is to protect your rights and make sure that you receive the compensation that you deserve.

A car accident may have a lasting detrimental impact for a victim and their family. The financial losses caused by the negligence of another driver can also place a large burden on the victim.

While the consequences may be devastating, it is important that victims consult with an attorney who can help to take away some of the financial burden.

When a motor vehicle accident involves trucks, the outcome can be much more tragic. While truck drivers may be protected by the size of their vehicles, this extra size creates a large danger for everyone else on the road. Passenger cars, pedestrians, motorcycles, and even other trucks are put in more danger when these vehicles are operated negligently. These vehicles are also often more difficult to maneuver and are far more susceptible to hazards on the road. While there are important purposes that they serve, such as business deliveries and shipping, a small case of negligence can result in serious injury or even death.

The important factors in a personal injury claim involving a truck accident can be very different than other types of accidents. Trucks have strict rules and regulations governing their industry.

As a result, strong legal counsel can be imperative to your ability to recover any financial compensation.

North Carolina law permits individuals to file claims for personal injury against any party who is responsible for the accident. In some instances, you may be able to sue the owner of the other vehicle and also the individual who was driving. In North Carolina, however, the law of contributory negligence may bar your claim. Under this law, if you were also negligent in the accident, then you may not recover from any other negligent party. As a result, it is even more important that you consult with an attorney who can protect your interests in the matter.
