How Our Car Accident Lawyers Guide You Through the Legal Process
The legal process after a car accident can be overwhelming, especially while dealing with injuries. Green Mistretta Law is here to provide support through every step.
Our team begins by conducting a thorough investigation, gathering evidence such as police reports, witness statements, and any available photos or video footage. This critical step ensures that we have a strong foundation for your case.
Once we have built your case, we handle negotiations with insurance companies. Insurers often try to minimize payouts, but we advocate for your right to fair compensation, aiming to secure an amount that truly reflects your losses. If a favorable settlement cannot be reached, our attorneys are prepared to take your case to trial to seek the justice you deserve.
Throughout the process, we keep you informed and address any questions you may have, providing regular updates and guidance at each stage.
Compensation You May Be Entitled To After a Car Accident
One of the primary goals of filing a car accident claim is to secure compensation that helps you recover and rebuild. With Green Mistretta Law representing your interests, you may be entitled to various types of compensation. This includes covering your medical expenses, such as emergency care, hospital stays, surgeries, rehabilitation, and any long-term care that may be needed.
Additionally, if your injuries have impacted your ability to work, you may seek compensation for lost wages as well as any reduction in future earning capacity. Pain and suffering is another critical component of compensation, addressing both the physical pain and emotional trauma you may have endured. We also pursue reimbursement for property damage, ensuring that vehicle repairs or replacements are adequately covered.
Depending on your case’s specifics, you may be eligible for additional compensatory damages as well.
Our No-Win, No-Fee Promise
At Green Mistretta Law, we believe that everyone should have access to quality legal representation, regardless of their financial situation. That’s why we work on a contingency fee basis.
This means that you don’t pay any legal fees unless we win your case. This no-win, no-fee promise allows you to focus on your recovery while knowing that pursuing justice won’t add to your financial burdens.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long do I have to file a car accident claim in North Carolina?
In North Carolina, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims is generally three years from the date of the accident. However, it’s best to consult with a car accident lawyer as soon as possible to avoid any potential delays.
What should I do if the insurance company offers a settlement?
It’s often wise to consult a lawyer before accepting any settlement offers. Insurance companies may offer low settlements initially, and an experienced car accident lawyer can help negotiate a fairer offer.
How much is my car accident case worth?
Every case is unique. Factors like the severity of injuries, medical costs, lost wages, and emotional impact all play a role. A consultation with Green Mistretta Law can provide a clearer understanding of your case's potential value.
Can I still file a claim if I was partially at fault?
North Carolina follows a “contributory negligence” rule, which can make recovery challenging if you are found to be even partially at fault. However, it’s essential to consult with a lawyer who can analyze the specifics of your case.
What if the other driver doesn’t have insurance?
If the at-fault driver is uninsured, you may still be able to recover compensation through your own uninsured motorist coverage or other options. Our attorneys can guide you through this process.
