Let’s be clear. Car crashes don’t happen by accident. They happen because someone is choosing to pay attention to something other than driving. Or, someone has made a bad choice while behind the wheel — like driving under the influence, speeding, following too closely, texting, or participating in some other distractive behavior.
As the fastest-growing and most-populated area of the state, it’s not surprising that Charlotte and Mecklenburg County have the highest numbers of car crashes. According to the North Carolina Department of Transportation, an average of 19,000 people are hurt or killed in car crashes here each year. That’s a crash with injuries happening somewhere in Charlotte and Mecklenburg County every 20 minutes!
If you’ve been hurt in a crash that was someone else’s fault, you should call an experienced personal injury attorney. The attorneys at Rawls, Scheer, Clary & Mingo have decades of experience helping people in the Charlotte, North Carolina area who’ve been hurt in these types of crashes.
"When I reached out to Amanda regarding my car accident, she gave me her honest opinion and after agreeing to take on my case, Amanda and her team took care of everything, which allowed me to concentrate on physical therapy to recover. She was always checking in to make sure that I’m doing OK and kept me up to date on the progress the entire time. Thank you Amanda for all that you’ve done!"
No matter how serious the incident, a car crash can be a scary, potentially life-changing, and oftentimes expensive event. There are bills from ambulance rides, hospital stays, or rehabilitation and physical therapy, as well as dealing with insurance companies, car repairs, and managing your recovery and returning to work. Regardless of your injuries, an experienced car accident attorney can fight to see that those responsible pay you for the damage inflicted.
There’s no need to go it alone.
If you’re reading this, chances are good you’re wondering where to begin after a car crash has changed your life or that of a loved one. Talking with insurance adjusters or considering settlement offers should never be done without consulting an attorney. Even the most savvy and educated consumers probably aren’t familiar with the intricacies of insurance policies, North Carolina traffic law, or personal injury law.
As with any crash, the following steps will help protect your case:
Many people attempt to manage this process themselves, with the belief that an amicable settlement can be made without involving attorneys, or the expense of hiring one. Nothing could be further from the truth if you are seriously injured. For starters, an experienced attorney can make sure your rights are protected — no matter how cooperative and friendly the insurance companies seem to be. Your attorney can also make sure you are compensated to the fullest extent that the law will allow. Equally as important, there are no legal fees until we win in court or successfully settle your case.
If you’ve been seriously hurt in a car crash, you owe it to yourself and your family to schedule a free consultation with an experienced car accident attorney at Rawls, Scheer, Clary & Mingo.
