Committed to Your Recovery After an Accident
Filing a personal injury claim allows you to seek justice and fair compensation for the many financial and intangible losses you have suffered as a result of your injury. Although nothing can undo the devastating experience you have been through, a just settlement or jury verdict can provide you with much-needed financial resources as you navigate the aftermath of the incident.
Depending on the specifics of your case, you could be entitled to compensation for the following types of damages:
- Medical expenses
- Lost income/wages
- Pain and suffering
- Lost earning ability
- Out-of-pocket expenses
- Punitive damages
At Hyland, Padilla & Fowler, PLLC, our personal injury attorneys in North Carolina fight for maximum compensation for every client. To date, we have recovered more than $40 million total in settlements and verdicts on behalf of the severely injured and their families. Most importantly, we have helped our clients stand up to those responsible for their injuries and damages, allowing them to obtain the justice they needed to move forward.

What are my options if you elect to pass on my case?
If we do not believe your case can prevail, we may choose not to move forward with it. If this is the case, we will always be open with you. If we cannot assist you, we may suggest you speak to another lawyer for an additional opinion.
-
Will you inform me about my case's progress?
Yes. We will periodically check in with you to see how you are doing when you are in medical treatment. We will also ask you to keep us updated on the status of your medical treatment. If your case is in litigation, you will receive updates as new developments arise in your case. We give each of our clients information at our initial meeting that explains in detail how your case is handled from the beginning to the end. As always, if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to give us a call.
-
How can you represent me if I am from out of state?
North Carolina law may apply to your case in several ways. For example, if the accident you were in occurred in North Carolina while you were visiting the state, North Carolina laws would apply. We have also worked successfully with out-of-state clients and their local attorneys.
-
What is a deposition?
If we file a lawsuit for you, the defense attorney for the insurance company may take your deposition as part of the litigation process. You would give your deposition under oath in front of a certified court reporter. You will be asked a wide range of questions regarding your claim by the defense attorney. Your attorney will be present with you during the entire proceeding to make sure that any questions asked are proper.
-
How long can I wait to file a lawsuit after an accident?
No two cases are quite the same; every case should be evaluated individually. For example, in workers’ compensation cases, the employee is required to serve a copy of Form 18 on the employer and insurance carrier within 30 days from the date of the accident. For most personal injury cases in North Carolina, you have three years from the date of injury to sue for damages. It is vital to your case that you get in contact with a lawyer as soon as possible and ensure that you do not miss any deadlines.No two cases are quite the same; every case should be evaluated individually.
