Auto & Trucking Accidents - We handle serious injury claims caused by automobile, truck, motorcycle, boat and equipment accidents.

Wrongful Death - Death cases caused by the negligence of a person, corporation, medical provider, nursing home or other entity. North Carolina wrongful death claims are governed by a unique and complicated statute which controls the manner in which the lawsuit must be presented and the damages that can be obtained. We have the knowledge and necessary experience in handling wrongful death claims and have written a manuscript and given a seminar presentation on the handling of North Carolina wrongful death claims for the North Carolina Academy of Trial Lawyers.

Head Injury - We have experience in handling cases involving traumatic brain injuries and have effectively obtained substantial recoveries for clients who have sustained permanent brain damage as a result of automobile, trucking, motorcycle and forklift accidents.

Professional Negligence/Medical Malpractice - We represent persons who have been victims of a negligent medical provider, including doctors, hospitals, dentists, and nurses, and have suffered serious or fatal injuries as a result of improper medical care.

Nursing Home Negligence - If you have a loved one who has been injured, killed or neglected while residing in a nursing home, we have handled various nursing home cases involving falls, fractures, injury from neglect and death from medication errors.

Toxic Torts & Chemical Exposure - We provide representation to persons who have been hurt due to an exposure or inhalation of a toxic chemical or pollutant. We employ the use of such experts as toxicologists, pulmonologists and other specialists to assist us in handling these cases, which are typically more complicated than the standard personal injury case.

Drug Reactions & Injuries From Prescription Medicines - We handle cases against drug manufacturers and medical providers where persons have been seriously injured or killed due to the effects of a harmful and dangerous prescription medication.

Workers Compensation - We have an experienced attorney who focuses his practice on handling claims of persons who have been injured on the job. This is a very specialized area of the law, which requires an attorney who has up-to-date and comprehensive knowledge of the ever-changing law pertaining to workers compensation. The employers and insurance companies often do not treat their injured employees fairly and have unlimited resources which they may use to prolong the fight by denying claims, and by stalling and delaying payment. Our workers compensation team effectively fights for employee's rights throughout the many stages of the process including making the claim against the employer, negotiating with the workers' compensation insurers and arguing our clients' claims in hearings before the North Carolina Industrial Commission. Our goal is to ensure that our clients who have been hurt at work receive the benefits, compensation and protection to which they are entitled.

Social Security Disability - Our social security team is experienced in obtaining disability benefits for our clients and will lead them through the process of application, hearing and appeals before the Social Security Administration.

Land Condemnation - If you are a property owner and your home, business or property has been affected or taken for a road project or other state use, we can ensure that you are paid fair compensation by the state for your property.
