According to the U.S. Department of Transportation, while the overall number of traffic fatalities has been dropping in recent years, car accidents are still the leading cause of death among Americans aged 3-34. In addition, more than 2.2 million people are injured in traffic accidents every year. In 2009, more that 1,300 people lost their lives in traffic accidents in North Carolina alone.

If you were injured in a car accident caused by someone else’s negligence, you may be able to receive monetary compensation for your resulting medical bills, your lost wages, any related property losses (such as the value of a destroyed car), as well as your pain and suffering. If your child was the one injured, you as the parent may bring a claim for compensation on the child’s behalf. If you or someone you know has been injured, contact our law firm today for a free consultation to discuss the details of your case.

In all car accident cases, your initial consultation is free

In addition, in the horrific cases when car accidents lead to traffic fatalities, if the death was caused by another person’s negligent or intentionally wrongful actions, the relatives of those killed may bring a “wrongful death” claim. [link to Wrongful Death page] While no amount of money can counteract the sudden loss of a loved one, the law recognizes that some losses related to the death of a family member can be quantified, and that financial compensation can make a real difference in the survivors’ lives.
