Raleigh Car Accident Attorneys
The Triangle has added people faster than it has added road capacity. I-40 between Raleigh and Durham, the I-440 Beltline, the newer I-540 loop and the long commercial stretch of Capital Boulevard all carry heavy, fast-moving traffic, and Wake County sees a steady volume of serious collisions as a result. If you were injured in a crash in Raleigh, the Felicetti Law Firm can help you understand what comes next.
What surprises most people hurt in a Raleigh crash is not the traffic — it is the law. North Carolina applies one of the harshest fault rules in the United States, and it catches accident victims out every day. Being even slightly responsible for a collision here can cost you the entire claim.
The Felicetti Law Firm handles Raleigh car and truck collisions, motorcycle crashes, rideshare accidents, pedestrian and bicycle injuries and wrongful death claims across Wake County, including Cary, Durham, Apex and Garner. Our approach is to anticipate the fault argument the insurer will make and build evidence against it from day one.
No case is too complex. Consultations are free and you owe no attorney fee unless we recover compensation for you. Call Felicetti at (800) 333-1988 — 24 hours a day, and se habla español.
North Carolina's 1% Rule and What It Means for Your Raleigh Claim
North Carolina allows three years from the date of the crash for most injury lawsuits, and two for wrongful death. The rule that decides most Raleigh cases, though, is pure contributory negligence: if an insurer or a jury finds you even 1% at fault, you can be barred from recovering anything at all. North Carolina is one of only a handful of states that still applies it, and adjusters lean on it constantly. A single remark about your speed, or admitting you glanced at the radio, can be enough to defeat an otherwise strong claim — which is why it is worth getting advice before you give any statement.
No Injury Is Minor When It’s Your Pain and Suffering
Because North Carolina can bar a claim outright on fault, the early evidence matters more here than almost anywhere else. The Felicetti Law Firm works to obtain the crash report, identify witnesses while memories are fresh, request camera footage before it is overwritten and, where the stakes justify it, bring in accident reconstruction. We can also help you reach doctors who properly document collision injuries. Call (800) 333-1988 for a free case review.
