Choose a lawyer who focuses on personal injury rather than one who handles it occasionally. Ask about a real trial track record, since insurers weigh whether a firm will go to court. Look for knowledge of local courts and the insurers you may face. Get clear contingency terms in writing, including the percentage and costs. Ask who personally handles your case day to day, and confirm the attorney's standing with the State Bar. Use these questions as you compare the local attorneys listed in our directory, and trust your read on how responsive and straightforward each one seems.

Acting promptly matters in North Carolina, where the filing deadline is 3 years from the date of injury.
