FAQs
At Garry Whitaker Law, P.C., we understand that navigating a personal injury or wrongful death case can be overwhelming. This FAQ section addresses some of the most common questions we receive, but every case is unique. If you have further questions, we encourage you to schedule a consultation with Garry Whitaker for personalized advice tailored to your situation.
1. How much does it cost to hire Garry Whitaker?
In most cases, no retainer fee is required. We work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you don’t pay unless we successfully recover compensation for you.
2. How long do I have to file a personal injury or wrongful death claim in North Carolina?
The statute of limitations in North Carolina for personal injury claims is generally three years from the date of the injury. For wrongful death claims, you typically have two years from the date of death to file. It’s important to act promptly, so we recommend seeking legal advice as soon as possible.
3. What should I do immediately after an accident?
If you’ve been in an accident, prioritize your safety and health. Seek medical attention, document the scene if possible, gather witness information, and contact an attorney. Early legal consultation helps protect your rights and strengthens your claim.
4. How is the value of my personal injury case determined?
The value of your case depends on several factors, including medical expenses, lost wages, future care needs, pain and suffering, and the extent of your injuries. Garry Whitaker will thoroughly evaluate your case to pursue the maximum compensation you deserve.
5. Will my case go to trial?
Many cases are settled through negotiation, but some may go to trial if a fair settlement cannot be reached. Garry Whitaker is prepared to take your case to court if necessary to secure the best possible outcome.
6. Can I still pursue compensation if I was partially at fault for the accident?
North Carolina follows the “contributory negligence” rule, which means if you are found to be even 1% at fault, you may not be able to recover compensation. It’s crucial to have an experienced attorney like Garry Whitaker evaluate your case to determine your options.
7. What types of damages can I recover in a personal injury or wrongful death case?
You may be eligible to recover compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, future care costs, pain and suffering, and, in wrongful death cases, funeral expenses and loss of companionship.
8. How long will my case take?
The timeline of a case varies depending on its complexity and whether it goes to trial. While some cases can settle in a few months, others may take longer if litigation is necessary. Garry Whitaker will provide a clear timeline based on the specifics of your case.
9. What should I bring to my first meeting with Garry Whitaker?
Bring any relevant documents, such as medical records, accident reports, photographs, and insurance information. The more details you can provide, the better Garry can assess your case and offer guidance.
