North Carolina Auto Accident Lawyers
Contributory negligence laws in North Carolina make it difficult for injured people to seek compensation for injuries sustained in auto accidents. If an injured person is found to be even slightly at fault for the car accident, he or she is prevented from recovering for damages. At Clarke, Phifer, Vaughn, Brenner, & McNeill, we understand the frustration this can cause to injured people. Our firm responds to these frustrations by thoroughly analyzing the cause of the accident.

Contributory Negligence and Injury Claims
The issue of contributory negligence can complicate an injured person's claim. Determining the negligent party is a crucial component of a successful auto accident claim. The insurance companies will use the police report to determine fault and whether or not the injured person contributed to the accident. If you are found to be even 1% at fault for the accident, you will be unable to seek compensation. It is of the utmost importance that an injured person's claim is presented in the correct way.
In many situations where liability is in dispute, we will work with an accident reconstruction expert. An accident reconstruction expert pieces together evidence-reports, witness statements, skid marks, vehicle impact damage to show how the accident happened and who was at fault. In addition to placing responsibility on the liable party, our firm is skilled at properly conveying the extent of injuries. We routinely use experts in specialized areas of medicine to attest to the complications of an injury.
