Sometimes a pedestrian injury case can turn into a wrongful death case. For example, if your loved one has died due to their injuries from a pedestrian accident, you may be able to file a wrongful death suit. Damages in a wrongful death case can include funeral and burial expenses, lost income and medical costs.
There is no duty of good faith for third party claims in North Carolina. So no, the insurance company is not required to make you a “fair” offer. What is “fair” to the insurance company may seem woefully inadequate to you. They may try to take advantage of you and offer you a fraction of what your case is worth or settle quickly before you know the full nature and extent of your injuries. That’s why it’s important to have an experienced personal injury lawyer on your side. We will negotiate with the insurance company on your behalf and ensure you get the compensation you deserve.
If you’ve been hit by a hit and run driver, you may still be able to recover compensation for your injuries. You may be able to file a claim with your own insurance company. It’s important to speak with an experienced personal injury lawyer as soon as possible to find out what your best course of action is.
Our accident lawyers are well versed in North Carolina law. We will file a personal injury lawsuit or wrongful death claim on your behalf or on behalf of your loved one. We are also not afraid to go to trial when it’s in our client’s best interest.
