Seeking Maximum Compensation for Your Damages
Although it’s a sizeable city of more than 200,000 people, Fayetteville, NC is best known as the home of Fort Bragg.

Most Dangerous Roads in Fayetteville, NC
According to the University of North Carolina Highway Safety Research Center, there were 8,791 motor vehicle accidents in Cumberland County in 2015. These accidents caused 2,781 injuries and 39 deaths. In Fayetteville itself, 5,993 crashes occurred, injuring 1,883 people and killing 17. Fayetteville, North Carolina, like any other city, has its share of challenging and potentially dangerous roads. Factors contributing to road danger can include traffic congestion, road design, weather conditions, and driver behavior. While the danger level of a road can change over time, some roads have historically been known for safety concerns. For years, the North Carolina Department of Transportation judged Skibo Road at the All-American Freeway to be the most dangerous intersection in Fayetteville.
A few roads in Fayetteville that have been considered more challenging or potentially dangerous include:
- Bragg Boulevard (Highway 24): Bragg Boulevard is a major north-south route in Fayetteville, and it is known for heavy traffic, especially near Fort Bragg. The combination of high traffic volume and frequent stop-and-go conditions can lead to accidents and congestion.
- Ramsey Street (Highway 401): Ramsey Street is another major thoroughfare in Fayetteville, running north from the city. It experiences heavy traffic, and there have been reported accidents along this route.
- Murchison Road: Murchison Road has seen its share of traffic accidents and can be a challenging road to navigate due to congestion, intersections, and varying road conditions.
- Martin Luther King Jr. Freeway: While freeways generally have fewer intersections, they can still be dangerous due to high speeds and the potential for severe accidents. The Martin Luther King Jr. Freeway, also known as I-295, can be busy, particularly during peak commuting times.
- Gillespie Street: This road is known for heavy traffic and can be challenging to navigate, especially during rush hours.
- Reilly Road: Running along the western edge of Fort Bragg, Reilly Road can experience traffic congestion and frequent roadwork, leading to potentially dangerous conditions.
- Owen Drive: Owen Drive can be busy, especially around Cape Fear Valley Medical Center. Heavy traffic and frequent lane changes can contribute to accidents.

Proving Liability in Car Accident Cases in North Carolina
When seeking compensation after an auto accident, the first task is to establish liability for the crash. The negligent driver may have been distracted by a cellphone. Or, they may have committed a moving violation, such as speeding, running a red light or a stop sign, failing to yield the right-of-way, or even driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs. However, if the question of who caused the accident comes down to your word against the other driver’s, you may have an especially difficult case. This is because North Carolina’s strict contributory negligence statute bars you from recovering any damages if you bear even the slightest responsibility for the accident.
At Lanier Law Group, P.A., when we take a case, we consult reliable experts in accident reconstruction who use scientific methods to determine the cause of an accident. Credible expert testimony may often override a defendant’s claim that our client was in any way to blame.

"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.
