Personal Injury & Wrongful Death in Eastern North Carolina

Overview

When the Negligent Cause the Harm, the Negligent Should Pay the Cost

A serious injury — or worse, the loss of a loved one — changes everything in a moment. Medical bills accumulate. Income disappears. The future, once certain, suddenly is not. The firm exists, in these cases, to make sure that the people responsible for that harm bear the financial weight of what they have caused, so that our clients and their families do not have to carry it alone.

Drawing on decades of insurance experience that began at Allstate before the practice of law, Attorney Moore brings a working understanding of how insurers evaluate, negotiate, and ultimately resolve these claims. That perspective shapes every step of the representation — from the first letter to the carrier through the last dollar of recovery.

Our Approach

The Full Cost of the Injury, on the Table

Insurance companies do not pay claims because it is the right thing to do; they pay claims because the alternative becomes more expensive than paying. We build each case so that the alternative is, in fact, more expensive. That means securing every medical record, every bill, every lost-wage statement, and where necessary, the opinions of medical and economic experts who can put a number on the lifetime cost of what the client has suffered. By the time we ask the carrier to pay, the answer to "how much" has already been documented.

What to Expect

Contingency Fees, Honest Counsel, Personal Attention

You should never have to wonder whether you can afford to find out if your claim has merit. Personal injury consultations with the firm are free of charge, and we accept qualifying cases on a contingency basis — meaning a fee is owed only if and when we recover. Every case is handled personally by Attorney Moore, with frank counsel about what the claim is realistically worth, what the carriers are likely to offer, and what a verdict in front of an Eastern North Carolina jury could produce.

Four Steps to Take Right Now

The hours and days after an accident shape the value of the claim more than almost anything else. What you say to the insurance adjuster, what you sign at the body shop, and what you post online can all be used against you. Take care.

  1. 01

    Get Medical Care

    See a doctor immediately, even if you feel fine. Some serious injuries — internal bleeding, traumatic brain injury, soft-tissue damage — do not announce themselves at the scene.

  2. 02

    Document the Scene

    Photograph the vehicles, the roadway, your visible injuries, and anything that explains how the collision happened. Get the names and numbers of every witness.

  3. 03

    Do Not Give a Recorded Statement

    The other driver's insurance company will call within days. You are not required to give them a statement. Decline politely and refer them to your attorney.

  4. 04

    Call Before You Sign

    Never sign a release, accept a check, or settle a claim without first reviewing it with counsel. A signature ends the case — sometimes for far less than it is worth.
