Personal Injury FAQ

How Much Does an Injury Attorney Cost?

We work on a contingency basis, which means there are no upfront costs and we don’t get paid any attorney fees unless we win your case and you receive compensation.

How Long Do I Have to File an Injury Claim?

In North Carolina, you must file your injury claim within the statute of limitations. With few exceptions, you must file a claim within three years of the date of injury, or within two years of the date of death in a wrongful death case.

How Much Is My Case Worth?

There are never any guarantees regarding the outcome of a personal injury claim, and potential settlement or judgment amounts vary based on the unique facts and circumstances of the case. For a free case review, contact us today.
