Fighting for Justice for North Carolinians 

In more than three decades serving North Carolina, we’ve won many significant settlements and verdicts in wrongful death cases, including:

• $9,450,000 | Wrongful Death, Tractor-Trailer Accident — Our attorneys fought for justice for surviving family members of a family of four who were tragically killed in a major truck accident on a busy North Carolina highway. We organized a comprehensive crash scene investigation, brought in expert reconstructionists, and even subpoenaed traffic data from Google Maps to prove our case. After filing a lawsuit and engaging in extensive mediations, we ultimately recovered more than $9 million in compensation for the surviving family.
• $2,000,000 | Wrongful Death, Truck Accident — When our client ultimately succumbed to injuries sustained in a crash involving an 18-wheeler, attorneys Gene Riddle and Jonathan Smith took the case, fighting for justice for her surviving sons. We hired an expert witness to prove liability and the case was ultimately settled for $2 million in total compensation.
• $850,000 | Wrongful Death, Mesothelioma — Attorneys Gene Riddle and Christopher Brantley fought for justice for surviving relatives of a railroad welder who ultimately passed away from mesothelioma cancer after being exposed to asbestos on the job. We filed suit but the case was ultimately settled prior to trial for total compensation of $850,000.
