How Can a Greenville personal Injury Lawyer Help?

Personal injury cases are complicated and time-consuming. Whether you’re filing an insurance or workers compensation claim, or filing a lawsuit, having someone on your side who knows the ins and outs of the legal system can make a big difference. A recent study showed that those who hire an attorney recover over 3 times more compensation on average than those who represent themselves.

Whether it’s organizing accident investigations or handling court filings, helping arrange medical care, or negotiating with the insurance company, a Greenville personal injury attorney at Riddle & Riddle can handle all aspects of your case.

Every case is different, but one thing is true of every accident:

There is a lot to be done if you’re planning to file a claim or lawsuit seeking compensation for your injuries… and even more to be done if you want to win your case.

A Riddle & Riddle attorney can handle all aspects of your case, including:

• Investigating the accident site
• Obtaining the official accident report
• Securing surveillance and/or dash cam footage
• Hiring expert witnesses including accident reconstructionists
• Referring you to appropriate medical care
• Finding and interviewing witnesses
• Tracking down the at-fault party in hit and run cases
• Making a statement to the insurance company
• Helping you manage expensive medical bills
• Communicating with law enforcement
• Calculating long-term financial damages
• Negotiating with the insurance company
• Negotiating with defense counsel
• Representing you in mediation or arbitration proceedings
• Handling litigation, including court filings, hearings, and trial
• Setting up trusts and/or guardianships to ensure long-term care
• and more…

Filing a claim or personal injury lawsuit can be overwhelming. An attorney can handle all of these tasks and help you navigate the process with minimal stress.

"How Long Do I Have to File a Greenville Injury Claim or Lawsuit?"

North Carolina’s Statute of Limitations sets the deadlines for filing personal injury claims or lawsuits. This law determines how long you have to take legal action. Although some exceptions exist, the general deadlines are as follows:

• 3 years from the date of injury for personal injury claims
• 2 years from the date of death for wrongful death claims

If you’ve suffered an injury, act quickly to protect your right to justice and compensation. Missing a deadline could jeopardize your claim. Our Greenville personal injury attorneys will guide you through every step of your case and ensure your claim is filed within the required timeframe.

For work injury cases, we also ensure that all necessary forms are completed and submitted on time.

"How Much Will a Personal Injury Lawyer Cost?"

Hiring an attorney doesn’t have to be expensive. In fact, many injury lawyers — including Riddle & Riddle — work on a contingency basis. That means there is no upfront cost, and there are no attorney fees unless you win financial compensation.

This is true regardless of what type of accident or injury case we help with — car accidents, truck accident, workplace injuries, wrongful death cases, etc.

Settlements and Judgments

In more than four decades of service to injured North Carolinians, our experienced Greenville personal attorneys have secured hundreds of millions of dollars in compensation for our valued clients (see disclaimer below). Recent wins include:

$9,450,000 | Truck Accident & Wrongful Death

Our attorneys fought for justice in a heartbreaking case where a family of four was killed in a terrible tractor-trailer accident. We investigated the crash, proving liability with accident reconstruction and even the subpoena of Google Maps traffic data. We filed multiple lawsuits against the at-fault driver and a pavement marking company we determined to be liable, as well, ultimately securing $9.45 million in total compensation in separate settlements.

$2,750,000 | Car Accident

Riddle & Riddle represented the victim in a terrible head-on car accident that resulted in serious injuries. We recovered $2.75 million in arbitration, which was immediately followed by a separate $1 million declaratory judgment.

$2,750,000 | Workplace Accident

We represented a construction worker who was hit by a tractor-trailer at the worksite, suffering serious injuries including the loss of his right leg below the knee. Attorneys Gene Riddle and Adam Smith filed separate personal injury and workers' compensation claims, negotiating $2.75 million in total compensation after a hard-fought legal battle, that included filing a lawsuit against the trucking company.

$1,625,000 | Pedestrian Accident

We were hired by an outside law firm after their client's pedestrian accident claim was originally denied. We investigated the accident and determined that the driver involved had been negligent and entered mediation with the insurance company, ultimately securing $1.625 million in compensation for our valued client.

$1,500,000 | Personal Injury

Our injury attorneys represented a worker who suffered debilitating head injuries when a tree limb being cut by his employer fell on his head. The employer did not have workers' compensation insurance so we filed a lawsuit, eventually securing a judgment in favor of the plaintiff awarding $1.5 million.
