Personal Injury Attorneys in North Carolina
When someone else's negligence injures you, the financial and physical consequences fall on you. NXTGen Law Group handles personal injury cases on contingency: you pay nothing unless we recover compensation for you.
How North Carolina Personal Injury Law Works
North Carolina applies pure contributory negligence. If a jury finds that you contributed even one percent to causing your own injury, you recover nothing. Insurance adjusters are trained to build contributory negligence arguments. Decline recorded statements to the at-fault party's insurer until you have spoken with an attorney.
