If you’ve never hired an attorney before, you may have questions or doubts whether hiring a personal injury lawyer is really worth it. Keep these thoughts in mind when deciding whether to hire a personal injury lawyer:

1. The person or company that caused your injuries will have a lawyer. Their job is to get the best possible results for their client, not to be fair or take your side. Our team of Raleigh personal injury lawyers know how to fight back.
2. You may get better (or faster) results with an experienced injury lawyer. Insurance adjusters and other lawyers don’t always understand all of the very real reasons why getting a lawyer isn’t possible for everyone. They assume that if you don’t have one, then your claim, injury, or point of view has less or little value. 
3. You probably only have one chance to get it right. Your permanent record, housing security, employment status, or ability to pay future medical expenses are all at-risk. An experienced personal injury lawyer can help you take the right approach.
4. Laws, regulations, and rules of court will apply to you even if you don’t hire a lawyer. You need a personal injury attorney to advocate on your behalf.
5. Hiring an injury lawyer doesn’t have to be expensive, inconvenient, or difficult. Our Raleigh personal injury law firm was founded with the mission to make access to good legal counsel more fair, convenient, and universal.
   

As personal injury lawyers, we deal with people and families who have suffered some sort of tragedy or loss – loss of their health, mounting medical bills, loss of their enjoyment of life, lost wages from work, or even the loss of a loved one. The first phone call to a personal injury lawyer can be difficult. You may have to acknowledge or at least address the temporary or permanent changes to your life following an accident.

Our personal injury attorneys understand the challenges and difficulties that arise when sudden accidents affect lives. We know that an injury accident affects your family and every aspect of your life. We believe in a holistic approach to legal representation where our clients’ needs and interests are put ahead of everything else in the case. Our injury lawyers don’t take on cases – we represent people.

Our team of injury lawyers includes former insurance defense attorneys, as well as former insurance adjusters who are able to leverage that experience in case evaluations, settlement negotiations, and relationships among defense counsel. Our lawyers are familiar with the processes, algorithms, and “language” of insurance carriers to assist clients in obtaining the full amount of damages they deserve.

Counsel Carolina does not charge a fee for our services unless we recover damages on behalf of our clients. This is known as a contingency fee. Accident victims often face significant financial burdens due to medical expenses, lost wages, and other damages resulting from their injuries.

Our North Carolina personal injury lawyers understand that it’s our role to assess the economic and non-economic losses suffered by accident victims, including medical expenses, pain and suffering, loss of income, and diminished quality of life, to help them pursue the maximum compensation.

If our team agrees to take on your injury case, we believe that we should also bear some risk in the outcome of the case. It helps our injury attorneys establish trust in your case, as well as ensure that you are able to evaluate the merits of your claims and determine the best course of action to protect your rights.
