The Accident Happens in Seconds. The Damages Can Last a Lifetime
Drivers, vehicle manufacturers, municipalities like the Town of Cornelius, and other negligent parties too often lose sight of how devastating accidents are. A split-second error or decision can cause weeks, months, years, or a lifetime of hurt for the victim, and your recoverable damages might include:
- A seemingly endless stream of medical bills, which our team will keep track of and include in the settlement demand
- Pain and suffering, which might mean short-term physical pain, chronic pain conditions, disfigurement, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), diminished quality of life, sleep disturbance, anxiety, and several other non-economic burdens
- Professional disruption, which might cause lost income, a decline in your earning power, unearned bonuses and promotions, lost benefits, and other symptoms of being unable to work as you usually do
- Property damage, which may require vehicle repairs, replacement of a totaled vehicle, temporary transportation, and other costs
Our attorneys also lead wrongful death claims and survival actions when car accidents in Cornelius claim the victim’s life. These cases generally involve complicated, long-term damages. Our empathetic connections with clients allow us to truly understand what you are going through and to protect you while we pursue the compensation you are entitled to.
Our Aggressive Approach to Getting Justice for North Carolina’s Car Accident Victims
As they once defended insurers, attorneys Horton and Mendez have seen how aggressive (and even ruthless) insurers can be toward claimants. Insurance companies often view claims as a winner-take-all brand of gamesmanship, and we don’t hesitate to match their aggressive approach.
We have secured many settlements and verdicts for car accident victims throughout North Carolina by:
- Urgently and comprehensively investigating accidents, obtaining all witness statements, video, photographs of vehicular damage, police reports, expert insights and reconstructions, and other evidence benefiting our cases
- Portraying our clients’ damages in vivid detail, using medical professionals’ records and projections of future healthcare needs, relevant financial records, the victim’s account of pain and suffering, and other relevant documentation to show the complete toll of the crash
- Demanding fair compensation and being ready to defend our demands with documentation, logical arguments, evidence of negligence, and other support should the liable parties push back
- Embracing trial, as our record of winning in court (remember our record-setting $38 million verdict in 2024) proves that trial can be a viable means to financial recovery for auto accident survivors
We will also defend you from accusations that you caused the crash, as blame-shifting is a common bad-faith tactic used by insurers and negligent parties.
