An
accident caused by others can lead to personal injury and or wrongful death in
which case you may be eligible to claim your social security disability and or
worker's compensation benefits. If you or a loved one have been in an accident
that involved a serious personal injury, know your legal rights by contacting
Hardison
& Associates today.
Accidents in the United States are one of the leading causes
of deaths and injuries. According to NTHSA there were
an estimated 6.3 million highway traffic crashes in 2000. These
crashes killed more than 41,000 and injured more than 3.1 million people.
Accident victims should be aware that while they are still
receiving initial medical treatment, the parties at fault have already notified
their insurance company of the accident. Every insurance company has a team of
investigators, adjusters and lawyers whose primary responsibility is to limit
the liability of the insurance company and minimize the amount of money
paid to injured parties.
In many states, auto accident victims who have suffered personal injury may be
entitled to recover damages for:
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Disability
- Permanent disfigurement dismemberment
- Wrongful death
- Scarring
- Loss of opportunity to enjoy life
- General damage.

What should I do immediately following a car accident?
If you are not severely injured, collect all pertinent information from the
other drivers - driver’s license numbers, address, telephone numbers, insurance
card information, etc. Keep a daily journal beginning with the date of the
accident to document all physical and mental injuries, as well as document your
view of the accident. Notify the arriving North Carolina police officer of the
events of the accident that you can recall.
Should I take the settlement my insurance company is offering me?
You should not take any settlements offered by an insurance company without
first speaking with an experienced North Carolina auto accident lawyer.
Insurance companies typically offer a minimal amount of money in return for your
signature stating that you will not sue them. Never take an insurance check
without first consulting an attorney.
If the accident involved a Tractor Trailer should a lawyer be hired as soon
as possible?
The major trucking companies will immediately have lawyers hired and working for
them. The scene must be secure. Photographers and statements must be taken as
soon after the accident as possible. Many important pieces of evidence helpful
to you can be lost, misplaced or be purposely destroyed.
