What to Do After an Accident

If you’ve been injured in an accident in the Winston-Salem area, take the following steps to ensure your safety and protect your legal rights:

• Call 911 and seek medical attention immediately. Your health and safety are the first priority, and medical treatment and records will play an important role in any potential personal injury claim or lawsuit.
• Collect information from all parties involved, such as contact information, vehicle identification numbers, and insurance details. Also get contact information for any potential witnesses who may be able to testify on your behalf.
• Do NOT give a recorded statement to the insurance company, at least before talking with a Winston-Salem injury lawyer.
• Take photos of the scene and any damage to cars or property that occurred during the accident. Include photos of skid marks, debris, road signage, etc. Also, be sure to take photos documenting any injuries you or other companions have suffered.
• Talk with a Winston-Salem personal injury attorney right away. At Riddle & Brantley, our attorneys and investigators can get to work right away investigating your case and protecting your legal rights.

Remember, in North Carolina, you are not required to hire an injury attorney after an accident, but research shows that those who do recover over 3 times more compensation on average than those who represent themselves.

What Kind of Compensation is Available in an Injury Claim?

In North Carolina, there are various types of compensation available for victims of injury due to others’ negligence. These “damages” include:

• Medical expenses: Damages are available for victims of injury to reimburse them for medical expenses, including doctor visits, hospital stays, ambulance services, surgeries, lab tests, medications, and more.
• Lost wages: These damages help reimburse the victim for wages lost due to missed work as a result of your injury.
• Loss of future income: If your injury prevents you from returning to work (or returning to your current job), you may qualify for compensation to make up for the loss of future earning potential.
• Pain and suffering: This is a type of compensation for physical pain and emotional suffering caused by the accident. It can also cover damages such as permanent scarring.
• Punitive damages: In some cases, punitive damages may be awarded by a judge or jury to “punish” the defendant and discourage similar behavior in the future. In North Carolina, punitive damages are only available in cases in which the at-fault party demonstrated “gross negligence.”

Our Results

We’re proud of the settlements and verdicts we’ve secured for our clients, including:

• $9.45 Million | Tractor-Trailer Accident & Wrongful Death — Riddle & Brantley attorneys secured $9,450,000 in total compensation for the surviving relatives of a family of four who were tragically killed in a tractor-trailer wreck on a busy North Carolina highway. Nothing can ever make up for the loss of loved ones, but we were pleased to have helped survivors get justice in this case.
• $2.9 Million | Motorcycle Accident — Attorneys Darren Dawson and Gene Riddle represented a motorcyclist who suffered serious injuries, including a spinal cord injury, when he was hit by a passenger vehicle. We took the case to mediation, where we secured $2,900,000 for the client.
• $2.25 Million | Truck Accident & Wrongful Death — Attorney Gene Riddle partnered with attorney David Kirby at the Kirby Edwards law firm in Raleigh, NC, to secure $2,250,000 for the surviving family of a young woman who was killed when a truck crossed the center line, colliding with her vehicle. After advising defense counsel of our intent to file a lawsuit, the claim settled at mediation.
• $1.62 Million | Pedestrian Accident — In a tragic pedestrian accident case, Riddle & Brantley’s Winston-Salem injury attorneys secured $1,625,000 for our client, who suffered serious injuries when she was hit by a car while crossing a busy road on foot. We successfully argued that the defendant had the last clear chance to avoid the accident and failed to do so. The case was settled at mediation.
• $1.5 Million | Personal Injury — We represented a worker who was injured on the job when his employer cut a tree limb that struck him in the head. Our client suffered a partial skull fracture and traumatic brain injury. The employer did not have workers’ comp insurance coverage, so we filed a lawsuit, ultimately securing a judgment in the amount of $1,500,000.
