Raleigh Car Accident Lawyer
 
Car accidents exact a heavy toll on victims and communities all across the nation. Last year there were over 38,000 fatal car accidents, and Americans spent over $719.2 million in collision-related expenses. There were 1,557 fatalities last year in North Carolina, including Raleigh, due to auto accidents across the state.
 
Though many of the injuries sustained by car accident victims are relatively minor - ranging from whiplash to cuts and scrapes and bruised muscles - others are tragic and can result in crippling brain and spinal cord injuries, paralysis or even death. While some situations don't result in serious personal injury or require the filing of a lawsuit, you should always be aware of your legal rights and be ready to contact an experienced car accident lawyer.

If You Have Been in a Car Accident...
 
Here are some tips to keep in mind if you have been in an accident:
  • Stop. If you get in a crash, you must stop. If you leave, that's known as a "hit and run," and might be a felony. This includes hitting property, animals or pedestrians. Also, stay calm.
  • Call for help. If someone is injured, call 911. If not, your first call should then be to the police. The police will advise as to whether the crashed vehicles should be moved out of traffic, and will take statements from the drivers and passengers involved.
  • Call your insurer. As soon as you are able, call and file an accident report. You should also notify the other driver's insurer of the accident.
  • Don't sign anything. If an insurance adjuster shows up at the scene, don't give any statements and don't sign anything.
  • Gather information. Get the names, addresses and phone numbers of everyone at the scene, especially witnesses.
  • Go see your doctor. You may have injuries of which you're unaware. If you are examined by a doctor, make sure you are specific in explaining how the accident happened and any and all injuries and problems you sustained as a result.
  • Call Hardison &  Associates. If you've been injured, you may want a lawyer to make sure you receive a fair settlement from the insurance company. Also, proving to another driver's insurer that its policyholder caused the accident might require the services of an attorney.

Car Accidents & Insurance Considerations
 
 - Another situation in which you should consider hiring a lawyer is when you have not been able to collect insurance benefits within 30 days of the car accident. That's a sure sign that either the insurer is getting ready to litigate against you, or you have not effectively communicated with the insurer. In both cases, an attorney is helpful.
 
 - 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 you are the cause of an accident and are sued, if you have insurance your insurance carrier will provide a defense for you at no extra expense. However, if you have no insurance you could be personally responsible for any damages owed to the injured party. In addition, your driver's license could be revoked for being uninsured.
 
If I'm involved in an accident, do I have to tell the insurance company about it right away or can I try to handle it on my own?
Your insurance contract requires you to report an accident immediately to them. Failure to comply with the terms of your insurance policy could result in a denial of coverage. It is usually best to notify your insurance company rather than try to handle the case yourself.
 
What is uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage?
Uninsured motorist coverage covers damages an individual suffers as a result of a motorist who fails to carry the required insurance on his/her vehicle. Underinsured motorist coverage covers a person for damages whose injury claim value excess the insurance coverage the at-fault owner/driver carried.
