If you’ve just been in an accident, it can feel overwhelming. There are a few things you can do right away to protect your health, your rights and your ability to recover quickly.
Focus on these steps to protect your health, your rights, and your ability to recover:
- Seek medical care right away even if injuries seem minor.
Be careful what you say to insurance companies: statements can be used against you.
- Gather evidence: photos, police reports, witness info, and medical records.
- Avoid posting about the accident online: it can impact your claim.
If your injuries in a car accident resulted from someone else’s negligent behavior like texting and driving, driving drunk, driving aggressively or driving too tired, you can claim compensation to put your life back on steady ground. You will need evidence, including police reports, medical records from your treatment for injuries, witness statements about the collision, photographic evidence from the accident scene and more.
At Lanier Law Group, we handle the details, deal with the insurance companies, and fight for the compensation you deserve.

How long do I have to file a car accident claim in North Carolina?
In most cases, you have three years from the date of the accident. However, it’s best to act as soon as possible so evidence is preserved and your case is stronger.
What if I was partially at fault for the accident?
North Carolina follows a strict contributory negligence rule, which can prevent recovery if you are found even slightly at fault. This makes it especially important to speak with an attorney before dealing with insurance companies.
Should I accept the insurance company’s first offer?
In most cases, no. Initial offers are often lower than what your claim may actually be worth, especially before the full extent of your injuries is known.
What kind of compensation can I recover?
You may be able to recover compensation for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages related to your accident.
Do I really need a lawyer for my case?
Not every case requires a lawyer, but having one can make a significant difference. Insurance companies have teams working to protect their interests. Having an experienced attorney helps ensure your rights are protected and you are not pressured into accepting less than you deserve.
