In the blink of an eye, your life can change forever due to injuries you sustain due to the negligence of others. If you or a loved one suffered an injury, it is essential to understand your rights regarding compensation for damages. Hiring an experienced personal injury lawyer will ensure you get the compensation you deserve to get your life back.
At The Law Offices of John M. McCabe, P.A., we have been fighting for the injured and their families since 1994. At this critical time, don’t trust the insurance company; they do not have your best interest at heart. We do.
Our firm handles a variety of personal injury cases for clients in Cary, Raleigh, Durham, and surrounding communities, including cases involving:
Auto vehicle accidents are the most common basis for personal injury claims. Injuries can range from whiplash, lacerations, and sprains to catastrophic brain or spine injuries, paralysis, and more. These injuries can result in staggering medical and personal expenses.
Bus accident cases are complex because they often involve commercial or governmental agencies with experienced legal teams.
Bicyclists are vulnerable to injury due to their lack of protection as they ride the roadways in and around Wake County. Injuries from bicycle accidents can be minimal, severe, or fatal. Hiring a bicycle accident lawyer will ensure you get the most compensation possible.
Dog bites and attacks can be traumatic to individuals, especially children North Carolina generally holds negligent pet owners responsible for such incidents. When you hire a team experienced in dog bite injury law, you'll get the most compensation possible.
Like bicyclists and pedestrians, motorcyclists have a greater risk of severe injury or death when an accident occurs. Motorcycle accidents are often caused by the inattention of other drivers.
Elder abuse in nursing homes is an unfortunately common occurrence. It is our passion to protect our most vulnerable citizens, the elderly.
Pedestrians can suffer profound injuries when struck by vehicles in traffic due to their total lack of body protection. Even at slower speeds, individuals can be thrown several feet in a pedestrian accident resulting in severe physical damage.
Because of the weight and size of these often massive vehicles, truck accidents can be among the most dangerous. You will need a savvy truck accident lawyer to deal with any commercial trucking company’s legal team.
In the wake of a fatality that never should have occurred, you can file a wrongful death claim seeking appropriate damages. You will need one of our aggressive wrongful death attorneys to help you pursue a maximum award.
A personal injury lawyer will not charge you anything unless we win a settlement in or out of court. We work on a contingency basis, meaning we fund the entire case and only pay ourselves back if you win a settlement. This ensures we work hard for the case and that you don't have more out-of-pocket expenses.
When you have been injured by someone else, you can seek many types of compensation in a lawsuit. While every case is different, just some things you can seek are:
The statute of limitation in most states is two years. However, this varies if you're suing a governing authority like the city or state. Other exceptions can be the age of the injured. Make sure to call us as soon as possible so we can start your case.
Do not talk to an insurance adjuster. Their goal is to pay out the least amount possible. We understand the tactics the insurance companies will use — such as claiming you were contributorily negligent — as they attempt to deny your claim and pad their bottom line. While they search for ways to avoid responsibility for what has happened to you or your loved one, we will work diligently to hold them accountable and maximize the compensation you are entitled to. Before you talk to any insurance company, call our personal injury lawyers so we can advocate for you.
There are many variables in the time frame of a case, so this is almost impossible to answer. Most cases are settled out of court, with the two sides going back and forth to reach a settlement. Each back and forth has an amount of time the other side is allowed to wait to respond. Some lawyers quickly respond to a counter; others wait until the last minute. It also takes time to build your case and gather the evidence, witness statements, and experts we might need. It's safe to assume that complex cases will take longer while straightforward cases will settle in a shorter time.
Unfortunately, you must cover all bills until the case is settled. This includes medical bills and everyday bills. It goes a long way to contact the companies you owe money to and explain to them what's going on. Many bill collectors will work with you and even waive late fees. Keep track of all late fees and any time you take to work with bill collectors.
