Why Hire a Lawyer for Your Personal Injury Case?

Becoming the victim of another’s negligent actions is something that no one should ever have to endure. Unfortunately, carelessly caused accidents happen at an astounding rate, leaving countless victims in their wake. If you have suffered harm as a result of someone else’s negligence, it is important to know that you have the right to pursue compensation for your unjust injuries.

What is even more important, however, is making sure that you have competent legal assistance to help you recover the damages that you are rightfully owed.

Depending on the unique circumstances involved in your case, you may be entitled to compensation for the following damages:

Medical bills
Lost income/wages
Lost or reduced earning capacity (disability)
Pain and suffering
Emotional distress
Property damage
In wrongful death claims, funeral costs, loss of companionship, loss of support, etc.

Finding the right attorney may seem like a daunting and complicated process, but when you enlist the help of an experienced professional at the Lanier Law Group, P.A., you can rest assured that your case will be handled with the level of attention that it deserves.

Types of Personal Injury Cases We Handle

Lanier Law Group, P.A. handles all types of injury claims in the Durham area, including those that involve:

What Your Personal Injury Case Could Be Worth

Before knowing the specifics of your case, there’s no way to say what the exact value of your personal injury claim could be. First, your lawyer would have to establish what economic damages you have sustained, then make a case for the non-quantifiable losses you have suffered.

The economic damages could include items such as:

Property damage (such as a totaled vehicle)
Hospital bills
Ongoing medical expenses
Physical therapy costs
Medical devices (such as prosthetics)
Missed wages
Lost earning capacity
And more

Non-economic damages can include:

Physical pain and suffering
Emotional anguish
Loss of enjoyment of life
Loss of consortium
And more

Our Durham personal injury attorneys often work with healthcare, economic, and accident reconstruction experts to build cases that reveal their clients current and ongoing damages. Armed with this information, they are able to aggressively advocate for the maximum compensation you are owed for your current and future losses.

The Statute of Limitations & Your Durham Personal Injury Case: Act Now

For most personal injury cases in North Carolina, you’re looking at a three-year deadline. That is, from the date of your accident and injuries, you have three years by which to file your personal injury claim. While the inciting event might be tricky to determine in some cases, such as when an illness develops well after the inciting cause, it may be that the three-year deadline would be counted from the day of diagnosis instead of from when the toxic exposure happened. Even in such cases, however, you would have no more than 10 years within which to file your claim.

For wrongful death claims in North Carolina, you would have two years within which to file your claim. If you have any questions about whether or not you have enough time to file a lawsuit, don’t hesitate to contact one of the Durham personal injury lawyers at our firm. We answer calls around the clock.

Contributory Negligence & Your Personal Injury Case: What You Need to Know

The importance of finding a skilled attorney cannot be overstated, not when it comes to personal injury cases in North Carolina. That’s because this state is one of the few that has contributory negligence rules. Even if you successfully prove that the other party was the main cause of an accident, if you are also deemed partially at fault, you could lose your right to any compensation whatsoever. When your right to compensation is on the line, you need to know that you’re working with a Durham personal injury attorney who can help you avoid unfair blame and secure the compensation you deserve.

"20 out of 10 stars."

There are times in your life you are so hurt and feel life has a grudge against you. Nothing in your life is going right. I lost the most important person in my life to death, of which I knew mistakes were made because I witnessed it with my own eyes. When you contact a law group you most of the time get all business and a matter of fact conversation. I want all to know that from the first phone call they listened to my lengthy story, sobbing most of the time with so much compassion. They never made any promises but offered assurances that no stone would be unturned. They fulfilled every word they said. They restored faith that I had lost. Until you are in a position like mine you can never know how invaluable Lanier Law Group is. They were wonderful while maintaining their professionalism. They treated me like a family member. They really do care about their clients. But most of all they are the best at what they do. I worked in the court system for years so I knew how attorneys and law firms basically operated. Understanding the law and it’s interpretation is the ultimate key to winning any case. Also know that if an attorney/attorneys study and review your case and know that you don’t have a chance in a court of law and are big enough to tell you that instead of giving you false hope, you then my friend have a group with valuable shared values. I have so much respect for everyone in this Law Group. I recommend Lanier Law Group, P.A. to anyone who needs representation, they are in your corner. 20 out of 10 stars.

"Lanier Law Group will always be the choice for me and all my family members"

I started working with Lanier Law Group in 2020 on my Social Security Disability case. They from start to finish were awesome. My case manager Janet Hanks and attorney, Ashley Sappenfield were always available to answer all my questions. I did not have to do much but sit back and let them handle whatever was needed. My case took too long (2 years) and if I did not have Janet and Ashley My case would still not be approved. I would recommend Lanier to anyone to get the job done and approved. Do not go to another firm with your case, who promise the world and do not see it to completion and do not think another firms would have worked as hard as they did on my case. Lanier Law Group will always be the choice for me and all my family members to handle any cases of this type and other legal services they provide. They went above and beyond!

"So thankful for your expertise and professionalism"

Mrs. Gonzalez did an awesome job of explaining everything in detail and keeping me informed on the status of my case. Despite poor customer service with the insurance company, Mrs. Gonzalez was able to fix what they could not. Mrs. Gonzalez was very helpful with helping me understand things that I was not aware of when dealing with insurance claims. I am so thankful for her expertise and professionalism.
