How Will a Car Accident Lawyer Help Me?

There are many ways a car accident lawyer can help you seek compensation.

Determine Liability

Determining liability is the first step an experienced lawyer will take. You were an innocent bystander and didn't do anything to become injured. The liability will either be on the driver of the vehicle you were in or the other vehicle involved. Our experienced lawyers will hire accident reconstructionists to determine liability. Although rare, both driver could end up being liable for your injuries.

Seeking Damages

Damages are the different types of compensation you can be awarded. The damages we can seek will depend on the severity of your injuries, who is liable, and more. The types of damages we typically can go after are:

• Pain and suffering
• Medical Costs (past, present, and future)
• Lost wages (past, present, and future)
• Property loss or damage
• and more

Since 1994, The Law Offices of John M. McCabe, P.A., in Cary, North Carolina, has represented passengers injured or killed from no fault of their own. We know how to help you navigate through the legal system in pursuit of a full recovery for the current and long-term expenses you incurred from the car accident. Put our experience and legal resources to work for you.

We Represent Passengers Injured While Riding With At-Fault Motorists

Passenger injury claims can be highly complicated. Passengers driving with the motorist responsible for causing a car accident are often reluctant to sue their friend or loved one for damages. Our personal injury attorneys are highly sophisticated at protecting our client's best interests at every turn possible. We work with our clients to ensure they are not underpaid simply because they have a relationship with the at-fault motorist.

Negotiating for maximum compensation will not hurt the at-fault motorist. Car insurance is in place for that reason. The driver’s insurance premiums will not spike just because you worked to secure the compensation you are entitled to. When you select our law firm, we will consult your doctor to understand the extent of medical care you will need as a result of the motor vehicle accident for any severe injuries such as:

• Crush injuries
• Broken bones and fractures
• Spinal cord injuries, herniated disk, and back injuries
• Traumatic brain injuries

Our legal team will also help you secure compensation for lost wages, rehabilitative care, and pain and suffering. If more than one party can be held liable, we will pursue maximum compensation against all at-fault parties.

We Represent Passengers Injured While Riding In The Non-At-Fault Vehicle

In North Carolina, passengers have many coverage options if they were injured in a vehicle not responsible for causing the car accident. We are committed to helping you recover all the compensation you are entitled to. Part of our focus will be to sue the at-fault driver for any current and long-term expenses you incurred due to his or her negligent actions.

Injured passengers can also collect compensation for medical expenses through the insurance of the car they were riding in at the time of the accident. This allows passengers to secure payment for medical expenses twice without causing the non-at-fault motorist’s premiums to spike. North Carolina also allows injured passengers to obtain payment through their own uninsured/underinsured insurance policy. When you select our law firm, we will pursue all avenues possible to help you get back on your feet with a full financial recovery.
