North Carolina is home to one of the nation’s highest concentrations of auto accidents. Many people file for auto accident compensation, but several factors must be considered. These include your injuries, liability and insurance coverage.
Our team of auto accident lawyers has collected compensation for clients like you. This includes auto accidents, motorcycle accidents and head-on collisions. We represent those involved in auto accidents all over North Carolina, and nationally. At Edwards Beightol, LLC, we know how to navigate the insurance claims process.
When it comes to auto accidents, there are many different types. Some are minor, and others are more severe. If you are involved in an accident, you may want to hire an auto accident lawyer to protect your rights and fight for maximum compensation.
At Edwards Beightol, LLC, our auto accident attorneys can handle all types of auto accident cases. Below is a list of common auto accident cases that we represent.
Auto accidents are one of the most common causes of injury and death in North Carolina.
Unfortunately, insurance companies are not always on your side. Insurance adjusters are often trained to minimize liability, and they work with their legal teams to do so.
Our law firm has a track record of success in auto accident litigation. Our lawyers have recovered millions for clients who have been injured, and we are willing to take on your case should you qualify for a claim.
The following are some of the most common injuries sustained in auto accidents:
Neck Injuries and Whiplash
Whiplash is the muscle, ligament, and tendon most commonly injured in an automobile collision. Our lawyers regularly see injuries including neck discomfort and pain. Whiplash can occur at speeds as low as 15 mph, whether or not a seatbelt is used. Car accidents can potentially cause cervical dislocation and severe disk damage.
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)
A TBI is a brain injury resulting from a car accident, motorcycle crash, pedestrian accident, sports injury or a fall. A TBI may also occur after a car accident due to a collision with another vehicle.
The severity of the injury depends on how hard the head struck another object and the force of the impact. The sudden stop of the car may also increase the force of a collision. The most common signs of a traumatic brain injury include:
Brain imaging, including a CT scan and/or MRI, often reveals this injury.
Spinal Cord Injury
A spinal cord injury occurs when damage occurs to the spinal cord or any of the nerves in the spinal cord. This type of injury can result in a lifelong disability involving partial or total paralysis.
Underinsured motorist coverage is also referred to as “uninsured motorist coverage” or “UM coverage.” This coverage protects you if you are involved in an accident with someone who is not insured or underinsured. The difference between uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage is that the former requires that you have a car insurance policy, while the latter does not.
Insurance terminology can be very confusing. We recommend that you consult with one of our experienced auto accident lawyers to review your policy and see what coverage exists for your accident.
The requirements when filing auto accident lawsuits vary from state to state. North Carolina residents have unique legal requirements when filing an auto accident lawsuit. You must know your rights before the accident occurs.
If you are injured in a North Carolina auto accident, it is best to immediately consult a personal injury lawyer to see if you have a case. Our lawyers can help you protect your rights and receive full compensation under the circumstances of your accident.
Our lawyers at Edwards Beightol, LLC, have helped many people and families obtain the compensation they deserve after an auto accident. We take these cases seriously and always fight for our clients' rights.
Many times, insurance companies will not accept that their policyholder was responsible for causing an accident. Insurance companies often use a “tactical approach” when dealing with an auto accident claim, which means they do everything possible to minimize liability and reduce the compensation owed to you.
You should never hesitate to call a qualified auto accident lawyer if you believe that the insurance company is not paying what you deserve. You may have a low settlement if you do not hire an auto accident attorney immediately after your accident due to the legal maneuvering the insurance company sets into play.

There are many critical elements in an auto accident case. The most crucial aspect is proving who is at fault for the accident. This can be done through witness testimony, photos, or videos of the accident. Another key element is proving damages caused by the auto accident. As such, a record of treatment and documentation of the injury is key.
Under North Carolina law, there is a complete bar to recovery if you have any fault in an auto accident. As such, it is very important that you prove that the other driver was at fault for the injuries you are claiming. This is one reason that it is important to consult an attorney, who can help you establish fault.
There are many potential outcomes of an auto accident case. If another driver caused the accident, that driver might be liable for damages. This could include medical bills, property damage, lost wages and pain and suffering. The manufacturer might be liable if a defective car part caused the accident. If a truck was not maintained properly, a trucking company could be liable for the injuries.
