Experienced Personal Injury Attorneys Committed To Your Recovery And Justice
As part of the Piedmont Triad, which includes Winston-Salem and High Point, Greensboro is experiencing steady expansion in economic development and population increases. This growth has also led to a rise in personal injury claims. Car and truck crashes, slip-and-fall accidents, construction site wrecks, dog bites, manufacturing defects and other types of negligence can cause devastating injuries, life-altering circumstances and sometimes, the unexpected death of a loved one.
Despite the area’s welcoming and vibrant atmosphere, known for its Southern charm and modern energy, these incidents highlight the importance of understanding your rights when you or a loved one are suffering injuries because of someone else’s negligence. Insurance company representatives are set on protecting their bottom line. They may not have your best interests for a full recovery in mind. What then?
At Spidell Family Law, our law firm’s civil litigation attorneys may be able to help. You may have a right to receive compensation for your emergency and on-going medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, prescription payments, lost and future wages and other accident-related bills paid by the person who was responsible for your injuries by filing a personal injury claim.
Filing A Personal Injury Lawsuit Is Complex
Not all personal injury claims will result in a court case. Claims are frequently settled outside the courtroom during negotiation or mediation between the parties. Whether negotiated or litigated, all personal injury claims require an extensive amount of evidence to prove that the negligent party is responsible for your injuries. Eyewitness testimony, photographs or digital recordings of the accident scene, police reports, medical records, past pay stubs from your employer and expert depositions are among the basic types of evidence necessary to build a strong strategy on your behalf.
Do you have severe injuries following an accident you believe was due to someone else’s negligence? It is best to speak with an experienced personal injury attorney as soon as you can. North Carolina’s statute of limitations for personal injury claims is three years from the date of your injury. If your loved one died because of someone’s negligence, you only have two years to file a wrongful death claim for compensation.
Types Of Personal Injury Claims
Our legal team at Spidell Family Law can help you determine if you have a strong case during a free consultation. We help clients with personal injury claims involving:
- Car, truck and motorcycle accidents: Greensboro is served by several major highways, including Interstate 40, Interstate 85, and the urban loop, which provide convenient access to and from the city. These freeways make driving around the city and to nearby areas relatively easy but dangerous when speeding, sleepy, inattentive or drunk drivers are on the same roads.
- Pedestrian and bicycle crashes: Greensboro has some walkable areas, particularly in the downtown district with its shops, restaurants and cultural venues, but it is generally not considered a highly walkable city overall. The layout in many neighborhoods tends to be more car-oriented and risky for cyclists and pedestrians.
- Dog and animal attacks: Greensboro is a pet-friendly city with parks and green spaces where people often walk their dogs, but not all pets are well-trained and supervised. An uncontrolled or aggressive dog might cause lasting harm to people or other animals.
- Slip-and-falls: The downtown area is lively, featuring an array of local restaurants, shops and entertainment venues. Landlords and property owners have a duty to maintain their premises and fix unsafe conditions quickly. When they don’t, they can be held liable to pay for your injuries.
- Others: Drownings, dangerous toys or kitchen appliances, construction site mishaps and many other hazards that can result in catastrophic or fatal injuries.

We are recognized for our compassion and our strategic and assertive approach to achieving our clients’ objectives, whether through negotiations, mediation, or disputed civil court cases.
