At Riddle & Riddle Injury Lawyers, we fight for maximum compensation. When Justice Counts™, our record speaks for itself.
$3,600,000
Our client was in a construction zone on Hwy 42 in Johnston County near Clayton, where the construction company used unsafe and negligent signage and flags to warn of the danger. Our client was hit from behind and suffered a spinal fracture, which paralyzed him from the chest down.
He was treated at WakeMed Raleigh and remained in the hospital and rehab for approximately nine months before tragically passing away due to his injuries. Attorney Donny Dunn and our team sued both the driver of the other vehicle and the construction company.
$2,750,000
Plaintiff was seriously injured in a head on motor vehicle collision. Client suffered multiple fractures to his neck, leg, and arms. This award was followed by a one (1) million dollar declaratory judgment against an insurance company granting coverage under one of two motor vehicle policies at issue. Let our devoted car accident injury lawyers handle your claim, so you can focus on your recovery. We offer free, no-obligation consultations, and we don’t get paid unless we win your case.
$2,250,000
A company truck traveling at an excessive rate of speed crossed the centerline of travel on New Hope Road and crashed head-on into the Plaintiff. The Plaintiff was rushed to Wayne Memorial Hospital where they received emergency treatment, but tragically succumbed to their injuries. The Defendant driver was also killed in the collision.
A few weeks after the accident, the mother of the deceased hired Gene Riddle because her daughter knew Gene personally. Gene zealously handled this matter and directed an immediate investigation of the accident. Following the investigation, Riddle & Riddle teamed with David Kirby of the Edwards Kirby law firm out of Raleigh, North Carolina. The insurance company for the defendant hired an attorney after the investigations were completed.
Gene Riddle and his team prepared a complaint and advised the defense attorney of their intention to file. Shortly thereafter, mediation was scheduled and, within a couple of months, resulted in a fair settlement.
We were very pleased to have negotiated the $2.25 million settlement without the necessity of a lawsuit and a trial. The deceased left behind an adult child and a minor child who would have found it incredibly difficult to endure protracted litigation and a trial. In addition to securing the settlement, we assisted the family with estate issues and provided guidance on the adoption needs for the minor son.
“This case was very near and dear to our hearts because of Gene’s personal relationship with the family. That personal connection brought them to us, and we worked diligently to get the best result possible under such tragic circumstances.”
While no amount of money can ever replace a loved one, we strive to obtain the best possible results and a sense of justice for our clients during their most difficult moments.
$1,500,000
Our client suffered a fractured femur and tibia, a head laceration, concussion, and incontinence when a vehicle in front of her made an illegal U-turn causing a collision. Our client underwent three extensive surgeries leaving multiple scars on her legs. We hired a professional videographer to compose a day-in-the-life video where our client and her mother recounted the struggles of her recovery. We retained a life care planner to identify our client’s residual medical conditions and ongoing care requirements, and an economic loss expert to document past and future wage loss. Through extensive preparation and pre-trial discussions with the responsible insurance carrier, we were able to resolve the claim with a $1.5 million settlement for our client.
$1,500,000
Our client was killed in a crash in the country on SR 1941 (Hornes Church Road) in Nash County when a pickup truck tried to pass her sedan and caused a wreck. She was rushed to WakeMed hospital, where she tragically passed away.
The defendants denied liability, claiming our client attempted an illegal U-turn and that her vehicle’s turn signal light did not work or was not used. We hired an accident reconstructionist to help us refute these allegations, and also demonstrated that the defendant’s vehicle was traveling faster than his speedometer indicated because he had utilized aftermarket tires and a lift kit.
Our client’s family was in dire financial need, so we made a demand for immediate mediation under the threat of filing a lawsuit. Despite the denial of liability by the insurance company, we were able to secure a settlement less than 8 months after the collision. The first offer was only $500,000, but our persistence and our hard work on the accident reconstruction were vital to securing the $1,500,000 settlement for the family who was without any life insurance.
$1,450,000
Our client was seriously injured in an auto accident with a commercial truck, suffering internal injuries and orthopedic injuries. He incurred approximately $250,000 in medical expenses. Our client was represented by another attorney in North Carolina who reached out to us for help after a suit was filed and the matter was set for trial. The defense attorneys re-opened negotiations with us which resulted in a settlement of $1,450,000 the week of trial.
$1,250,000
Our client was killed in an auto accident. His next of kin included 3 adult children. Shortly after the tragic fatal wreck, his children were referred to our firm by an out-of-state attorney. We monitored the misdemeanor death charges filed against the at-fault driver to make sure justice was served in the criminal part of this case. We also hired experts to help prove liability. The at-fault driver only had $30,000 in insurance coverage. We investigated all available insurance coverages and located 4 policies totaling $1,250,000. We were able to conclude the resolution in approximately 7 months following the date of the wreck, which is a very quick resolution in a death case.
$1,000,000
Our client was injured in an auto accident and the defendant driver was charged with a DWI. Our client suffered soft tissues injuries to the neck and back, and incurred approximately $20,000 in medical expenses. We filed suit after receiving lowball offers from the insurance carrier. We hired an accident reconstructionist and thoroughly investigated the accident to preserve the evidence against the defendant driver. We engaged in extensive written discovery and depositions of witnesses and parties. After a long legal process, we settled at mediation for $1,000,000, which included compensation for punitive damages against the impaired driver. We consider this one of our best results of 2024.
$1,000,000
Our client was a resident of Florida who was a passenger in a vehicle with a Massachusetts driver, who was involved in a single vehicle collision in North Carolina. We were associated by Florida counsel in order to file suit in North Carolina, as the collision occurred here. He suffered a back injury which his doctor said was permanent. He incurred over $50,000 in medical expenses and lost 3 months of work. After a hearing in Wayne County Superior Court, we obtained a default judgment in the amount of $1,000,000 plus pre and post-judgement interest and costs.
$840,000
The deceased was a 16-year old driver who was stuck by a commercial tractor-trailer that allegedly failed to stop at a red light. The initial investigation of the accident was not favorable for the plaintiff and liability was denied. Plaintiff’s counsel hired accident reconstruction consultants Reggie Hines and Darren Marceau. According to the plaintiff’s counsel, the accident reconstruction indicated the defendant ran the red light. Lead attorney Gene Riddle settled the case for $840,000 on June 2006 in Wayne County.
