North Carolina Traffic Accidents

In 2020, North Carolina reported 247,214 traffic accidents, which represented a more than nine percent decline from the number of traffic accidents reported in North Carolina the previous year. Traffic and safety officials attributed the decrease in the number of North Carolina traffic accidents to the restrictions imposed to combat the COVID-19 pandemic. Distracted driving played a role in causing nearly 45,000 of the 2020 North Carolina traffic accidents. With nearly eight million drivers in the state, the odds of you getting involved in a car accident in North Carolina sits at near four percent.

If you got involved in a vehicle collision and the crash caused you to sustain one or more injuries, you should act with a sense of urgency and contact a state-licensed car accident lawyer. An attorney who specializes in handling car accident cases provides you with several types of legal support. 

First, your car accident lawyer conducts an extensive investigation that determines the cause of the collision. Second, hiring an experienced attorney helps you file a convincing insurance claim to recover the financial losses associated with the accident. Third, the attorney that you hire from Morgan and Morgan determines whether the other party committed one or more acts of negligence. If your lawyer discovers the other party should assume fault for causing the vehicle collision, you might have a strong enough case to file a civil lawsuit that seeks monetary damages.

For more than 35 years, the experienced team of personal injury attorneys at Morgan and Morgan have represented clients that got involved in a car accident.
