How To Handle Contact With The At-Fault Party’s Insurance – When navigating conversations with the at-fault party’s insurance, you should know that they will likely initiate correspondence with you – and when they do, they will seek to understand what happened in the crash. In doing so, they will most likely request you give a recorded statement. But beware, this is their opportunity to get you on record saying what happened in the crash.

Understanding The Impact Of Liability – In some ways, determining liability in the personal injury recovery process in North Carolina is more complex than other states. This is because it is one of three states in the U.S. that recognizes a very archaic law called contributory negligence…

Contributory negligence declares that partial at-fault drivers cannot collect from the other party. In other words, if the other party is responsible for 99% of the fault and you are only 1% to blame, you cannot collect from the other party.

Accidents With Uninsured & Underinsured Drivers – Accidents with uninsured or underinsured drivers have unique complications. Uninsured motorist coverage applies when a person is in a crash with a vehicle that either does not have insurance or flees the scene. If there is actual physical contact between the vehicle that flees and either the other vehicle or someone’s body – in other words, a pedestrian – North Carolina treats the case as an uninsured motorist case.
