Personal Injury/Automobile Accident Law

auto accident
Automobile Accidents and Personal Injury Claims typically result in one person facing an entire corporation and/or insurance company all by themselves. The Dummit Law Firm can provide valuable experience and assistance in helping you obtain the best result possible, making sure you do not face them alone.

Automobile Accident
Most unfortunate victims of car accidents attempt to handle their own personal injury cases, in hopes that the insurance companies involved will settle as promptly and fairly as advertised. Unfortunately, this is rarely the case. In a perfect world, you would be able to efficiently and quickly settle your claim on your own. However, in practice, most insurance companies are looking out for their own interests and not yours. The Dummit Law Firm will look out for your interests and will vigorously fight for your claim.

Negotiating alone or waiting until the insurance company makes an offer can be frustrating and costly. One mistake can cost you money - the insurance company may attempt to get you to admit something that did not necessarily occur and then try to hold you to it, thus alleviating them from offering a full and fair settlement. Delaying or guessing about the value of your personal injury case can result in the loss of legal rights and, potentially, thousands of dollars.

As an accident victim, compensation can be sought for medical bills, lost wages, auto rentals, property damage and repairs and for pain and suffering. Our firm will diligently exhaust all possible avenues to recover on your behalf and will fight with you every step of the way.

Other Personal Injury Claims
The Dummit Law Firm represents individuals and families involved in cases of personal injury caused by the negligence, carelessness and/or recklessness of others. If you or someone you love has been injured due to someone else's carelessness, please contact our law firm for a free initial consultation and case evaluation. We may be able to help you obtain financial compensation for your injuries, medical expenses, lost wages and pain and suffering.

Personal injury cases can be difficult for injured people in North Carolina. Insurance companies limit the amount of money they will pay to injury victims. Further, the insurance companies will hire defense attorneys whose job it is to minimize each aspect of a plaintiff's claim. It is important to know your legal rights and to consult with an attorney about them.

Further, North Carolina is a "Contributory Negligence" state. This means that if you contribute, in any way, to your injury you may be barred from recovering ANYTHING. Insurance companies will sometimes use this defense to deny a claim altogether, even when their insured is in the wrong. Our attorneys can discuss with you this obstacle and any options you may have.

The Dummit Law Firm will ALWAYS look out for your best interests. In some instances, this means reaching a settlement with the insurance company, and in others, it means taking your case to trial. We try to obtain the best result for you as quickly as possible; however, we prepare everything as if we must go to trial. We are not afraid of a fight, even if the opposing side attempts to drag it out for a considerable time. Our law firm is always prepared. This preparation permits us to negotiate from a position of strength, which will aid you in getting the maximum award for your injuries you have suffered. Please contact our office today for a free consultation to see how we may be of service to you in your time of need. And, you will pay no attorneys' fees unless win your case.
