Durham Car Accident Attorneys

Fighting For Car Accident Victims in North Carolina

These are exciting times in Durham, North Carolina. The growth of the Research Triangle has spurred a downtown revitalization, inviting developers from all over the world to convert tracts of the old tobacco district into new housing and a variety of cultural amenities. In time, the ambitious, new Innovation District will transform the skyline of the Bull City.

Unfortunately, growth can come at a price. Durham, whose population has suddenly exceeded 250,000, is trying to manage a steep increase in traffic accidents on surface streets and major arteries, such as I-85, I-40, US 70, US 15/501, NC 147, and NC 751. If you are injured in a car accident in the Durham area, Lanier Law Group, P.A. is ready to help.

Our Durham car accident attorneys can help you with:

Car repairs and rental car issues
Finding the right doctor and obtaining adequate medical treatment
Working to get your medical bills paid even if you do not have health insurance

Obtaining full compensation is rarely easy but with a heavyweight in your corner, you are ready for the fight. Call Lanier Law Group, P.A. at (919) 335-7553 for a free consultation at our Durham car accident attorney today.

Experience with All Types of Auto Accidents in Durham

Due to the fact that North Carolina’s contributory negligence law is so strict, you must be able to prove you had no role in causing the accident and that another driver or entity is entirely responsible. That’s why it’s important to select an attorney with the knowledge and experience needed to build a compelling case.

The Durham car accident lawyers at Lanier Law Group, P.A. have served victims of auto accidents since 1997. We have vast experience with different accident scenarios, including:

Rear-end collisions
Side-swipes
Head-on collisions
Rollovers
T-bone crashes
Defective auto parts
Hazardous road conditions
Driver distraction
Excessive speeds
Unsafe maneuvers
Cellphone use
Drunk driving
Fatigued driving
Moving violations

In the legal profession, there is no substitute for experience. Our Durham car accident attorneys are ready when you need us to prove liability as the first step towards your complete recovery.

North Carolina Car Accident Statistics

According to the University of North Carolina Highway Safety Research Center, there were 9,335 motor vehicle accidents in Durham County in 2015, which caused 2,538 injuries and 25 deaths. The overwhelming majority of those crashes—8,228—occurred within the Durham city limits, resulting in 2,189 injuries and 18 fatalities. But when you’ve been hurt in such an accident, you don’t want to be thought of as a statistic.

What Damages Could Be Recovered in a Car Accident Claim?

These damages normally fall into two main categories: economic and non-economic.

Economic Damages

These cover tangible financial losses you have suffered due to the accident. They can include the following:

Medical expenses: This often includes current and future medical costs, like hospital stays, surgeries, rehabilitation, medications, and doctor visits.
Lost wages: If your injuries prohibit you from working, you could recover compensation for your lost income due to time off.
Loss of earning capacity: If your injuries are serious and lead to a long-term or permanent disability that limits your capacity to work, you may be entitled to compensation for future lost earnings.
Property damage: You can seek compensation for restorations or replacement of your vehicle or other personal property that has been damaged in the crash.

Non-Economic Damages

These are more subjective and compensate you for the emotional and psychological effect of the accident. They can include:

Pain and suffering: This refers to compensation for the physical discomfort and discomfort you endured because of your injuries.
Emotional distress: Accidents can cause anxiety, depression, PTSD, or other emotional trauma, which may be compensable.
Loss of enjoyment of life: If your injuries stop you from engaging in activities you once appreciated, you may receive compensation for this diminished quality of life.
Loss of consortium: If the accident affects your connection with a partner or family, you may be entitled to damages for the loss of companionship or support.

Featured Reviews, Testimonials & Results

"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.
