LOCAL PROBLEMS

Common Causes of Accidents in Raleigh

Highway accidents

Major highways like I-40, I-440, and US-1 experience heavy daily traffic, increasing the risk of high-speed collisions, multi-vehicle crashes, and serious injuries.

Distracted driving

Texting, using mobile devices, eating, or other distractions behind the wheel are among the leading causes of accidents in Raleigh. Even a moment of inattention can result in devastating consequences.

Construction zones

With continuous road improvements and new developments across Raleigh, construction zones often create hazardous driving conditions. Reduced lanes, changing traffic patterns, and inattentive drivers can increase the likelihood of accidents.

Commercial Trucks

Commercial trucks frequently travel Raleigh's major highways and business corridors. Because of their size and weight, truck accidents can cause severe injuries and often involve complex liability issues.

Speeding

Excessive speed reduces a driver's ability to react to changing road conditions and increases the severity of crashes. Speeding remains a common factor in many serious and fatal accidents throughout Raleigh.

Meet Andrew Covington

Meet Attorney Andrew Covington

“I built this firm to be the lawyer I wish I'd had; someone who picks up the phone, fights hard, and treats every case like it's the only one.”

I'm Andrew Covington. My journey to becoming an attorney began in an unexpected place... the music industry. As a former recording artist, I experienced first-hand the intricacies of the industry, and in the process discovered a passion for the nexus of Entertainment and Business law. Observing a significant need for comprehensive legal guidance for artists, I was inspired to protect and empower those in creative fields. This prompted my pursuit of law and led me to Elon University School of Law.

I am proud to be a part of Elon's first graduating class from their trailblazing 2.5-year law program. This accelerated path broadened my capabilities, shaping me into a multifaceted attorney, uniquely attuned to the dynamic needs of my clients.

Whether you're an entrepreneur securing your brand, a musician navigating contract law, or an individual seeking guidance in criminal defense, real estate, or personal injury, I'm here for you. Together, we can turn your legal challenges into opportunities for growth.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions about your personal injury claim? You're not alone. We've answered some of the most common questions about the legal process, insurance claims, case timelines, and compensation to help you make informed decisions.

How much does a personal injury lawyer cost?

Most personal injury cases are handled on a contingency fee basis, meaning you don't pay attorney fees unless we recover compensation for you. During your consultation, we'll explain our fee structure clearly so you know exactly what to expect.

What types of personal injury cases do you handle?

We represent clients injured in car accidents, truck accidents, motorcycle accidents, pedestrian accidents, slip and falls, wrongful death cases, and many other situations involving negligence. If you're unsure whether you have a case, contact us for a free evaluation.

How do I know if I have a personal injury case?

If someone else's negligence caused your injury and you suffered medical expenses, lost wages, or other damages, you may have a valid claim. Every case is different, so speaking with an attorney is the best way to understand your legal options.

How long do I have to file a personal injury claim?

The deadline depends on your state's statute of limitations and the specific circumstances of your case. Because these deadlines are strict, it's important to speak with an attorney as soon as possible.

How long does a personal injury case take?

Some claims settle within a few months, while more complex cases can take a year or longer. Factors such as the severity of injuries, insurance negotiations, and whether a lawsuit is necessary all affect the timeline.

What should I do immediately after an accident?

Seek medical attention, report the accident if appropriate, gather evidence when possible, take photographs, collect witness information, and avoid discussing fault. Contacting a personal injury attorney early can help protect your rights.

Should I speak with the insurance company?

You should report the accident, but avoid giving recorded statements or accepting settlement offers before consulting an attorney. Insurance companies may attempt to minimize your claim.

What if the insurance company offers me a settlement?

Never feel pressured to accept the first offer. Initial settlement offers are often lower than what your claim may actually be worth. An attorney can review the offer and negotiate for fair compensation.

What if I was partially at fault for the accident?

You may still be entitled to compensation even if you were partially responsible. The amount you recover depends on the laws of your state and the facts of your case.

What is my personal injury case worth?

Every case is unique. Compensation may include medical expenses, lost income, future treatment costs, pain and suffering, property damage, and other losses depending on your situation.

What damages can I recover?

Depending on your case, you may recover compensation for:

Medical bills
Future medical treatment
Lost wages
Reduced earning capacity
Pain and suffering
Emotional distress
Property damage

Do I need medical treatment before filing a claim?

Yes. Seeking prompt medical care protects both your health and your claim. Medical records provide important evidence connecting your injuries to the accident.

What if my injuries don't appear until days later?

Some injuries, including concussions and soft tissue injuries, may not show symptoms immediately. If new symptoms develop, seek medical attention right away and document your treatment.

Will my case go to court?

Most personal injury cases are resolved through settlement negotiations. However, if a fair settlement cannot be reached, we are prepared to take your case to court and advocate for your rights.

What evidence helps strengthen a personal injury claim?

Helpful evidence includes accident reports, photographs, medical records, witness statements, surveillance footage, repair estimates, and documentation of lost income.

Questions Raleigh Residents Ask About Personal Injury Cases

Who is the best personal injury lawyer in Raleigh?

The best personal injury lawyer is one who has experience handling cases similar to yours, communicates clearly, and is committed to protecting your rights. At Covington Law, we provide personalized legal representation and work to help injured clients pursue the compensation they deserve.

What should I do after a car accident in Raleigh?

Your first priority should be your safety and health. Seek medical attention, report the accident to law enforcement, gather evidence if possible, exchange information with the other parties involved, and avoid discussing fault. Contacting a personal injury attorney early can help protect your legal rights.

How much is my personal injury case worth?

Every case is different. The value of a claim depends on factors such as medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, pain and suffering, future medical needs, and the severity of your injuries.

Can I sue after a slip and fall accident?

If your slip and fall was caused by a property owner's negligence, you may have grounds to pursue compensation. An attorney can review the circumstances of your accident and explain your legal options.

How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in North Carolina?

North Carolina law sets deadlines for filing personal injury claims. Because these deadlines are strict and exceptions may apply, it's important to speak with an attorney as soon as possible after your accident.

Should I accept the insurance company's first settlement offer?

Not necessarily. Initial settlement offers may not fully cover your medical expenses, lost income, and other damages. Before accepting any offer, consider having an attorney review it.

What if I was partially responsible for the accident?

Your legal options depend on the facts of your case and North Carolina law. Even if fault is disputed, it's important to speak with an attorney before assuming you cannot recover compensation.

Do I need a personal injury lawyer for a minor accident?

Even injuries that seem minor at first can become more serious over time. Consulting with a personal injury lawyer can help you understand your rights and determine whether pursuing a claim is appropriate.
