NC personal injury lawyer?

September 25, 2012 2:45 PM

Can anyone recommend a good personal injury lawyer in North Carolina? I am trying to find someone who will not be working for the insurance company and it is proving to be a difficult task. Thanks!

What? How do you figure that a PI lawyer would work for the insurance company? That makes no sense. It would be a conflict of interest.

Now a mefi referral will be great, but I'm curious about why you think that a random PI lawyer would also be working for the insurance company.

I've had 2 PI cases and the standard deal is that they work on contingency, so be aware of that.

A good PI case will settle with the insurance company, and they'll see to it that you don't get screwed.

I agree that a PI lawyer working for the insurance company does not make sense, unless you have coverage that applies to the manner in which your injury was sustained.

The North Carolina bar has a lawyer referral service. You should use it.

It would really help if you could tell us where you are! An attorney in the triangle would be different from one at the coast or the Piedmont.

Thank you for your answers. I am in the Piedmont area.
