What Is Personal Injury Law?

Personal injury law holds negligent parties accountable when their actions cause harm to someone else. If you were injured in a car accident, hurt on someone's property, attacked by an animal, or harmed by a defective product, you have the right to pursue compensation for your losses.

King Law handles personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis across North Carolina, South Carolina, and East Tennessee. You pay no legal fees unless we recover compensation for you. Our team handles the evidence gathering, insurance negotiations, and legal proceedings so you can focus on your recovery.

How We Help With Personal Injury

1

Complimentary Consultation

We review your situation at no cost and no obligation. If you have a viable claim, we explain your options and what to expect at every stage.

2

Case Management and Evidence

Within 24 to 32 business hours, a dedicated case manager meets with you to gather the details of your accident and medical history. We collect records, document your injuries, and put the opposing party on notice that you have legal representation.

3

Negotiation with Insurance

We deal directly with insurance adjusters so you do not have to. Insurance companies use evaluation software designed to minimize what they pay. We document and present the full value of your claim to counter that.

4

Settlement or Trial

The majority of personal injury cases resolve through negotiation. If a fair settlement is not on the table, our attorneys are fully prepared to take your case to trial.

Personal Injury FAQs

How does the contingency fee work?

You pay no legal fees upfront, and you pay nothing out of pocket unless we recover compensation for you. Our fee is a percentage of the settlement or award. If we do not win, you do not pay.

It depends on your state and the type of injury. Filing deadlines vary, and missing one can bar your recovery entirely. Contact us as soon as possible after an accident so we can advise you on the applicable deadline for your case.

It depends on which state your case is in. Fault rules differ across NC, SC, and Tennessee and can significantly affect your ability to recover. Our team will evaluate your specific situation and advise you on your options.

The majority of personal injury cases are resolved through negotiation without going to trial. If a fair settlement is not offered, our attorneys are prepared to take your case to court.

Settlements account for medical expenses, future medical costs, lost wages, diminished earning capacity, pain and suffering, property damage, and emotional distress. Insurance companies use software designed to calculate the lowest number they can justify. We build the full picture of your damages to counter that.

It is generally best to speak with an attorney before giving a recorded statement or accepting any settlement offer from an insurance company. Insurance adjusters work for the insurance company and aim to resolve claims as quickly and inexpensively as possible. An attorney can explain your rights, help you understand the value of your claim, and communicate with the insurance company on your behalf. Before discussing the details of your case with an insurer, consider speaking with an attorney first.
