You Need A Lawyer For Your Car Accident

After years of experience, it is our opinion you need a personal injury lawyer for your car accident. Personal injury law in North Carolina is not friendly to the injured party. Often, insurance adjusters will attempt to lower the value of your claim by arguing over your medical bills. Additionally, they will claim Contributory Negligence, which can be a complete barrier to recovering anything for your injuries. Your Charlotte, NC personal injury lawyer can help change this result.

What A Lawyer For Your Car Accident Does

Your personal injury claim will take some time to complete. The timeline for a personal injury claim differs depending upon the specifics, but your lawyer will need to:

Start a personal injury claim

Start a Medical Payments claim

Gather medical records and medical bills

Propose a theory of liability

Negotiate a settlement amount

Negotiate your medical liens and billing

Properly disburse your personal injury proceeds

File a lawsuit if an agreement can’t be reached

In the event you can’t reach a settlement agreement, your personal injury lawyer will file a lawsuit and begin the process of Discovery. This entails taking depositions, making written requests for information from the other side, and preparing for trial.

Is A Personal Injury Attorney Worth It?

The good news is your personal injury lawyer for your car accident doesn’t get paid unless they reach a settlement or jury verdict for you. Our experience has shown us that even after your attorney fee, you will do better with a personal injury lawyer than without one. Additionally, your injury lawyer protects you by reviewing all paperwork prior to signing, and defends any claims against you by the other driver.

Are Personal Injury Consultations Free?

Yes, your personal injury consultation is free. These can be done over the phone or in person. At your personal injury consultation, you will gain a better understanding of the value of your case, and what the next steps are to getting your case settled. The consultation is free and answering questions is part of the job.

Client Reviews

It was a great experience working with Chris. Very patient with all my questions. Highly recommend.

- Shannon V.

Mr. Layton is extremely talented, resourceful, and effective. His responsive and understanding manner made him easy to talk to and work with. I had a difficult legal matter and was extremely frustrated to approach dealing with it or discussing it, but he put my mind at ease, provided amazing advice, and solved my issue quickly. I have never had such stellar assistance from a lawyer who is competent and kind.

- Blayr N.

I felt this firm was very professional but also personally above and beyond with us. We had a very traumatic event in our family that required the services of Chris Layton. He was a great help to us in our time of need. I highly recommend!

- Bryce K.

I had a particularly confusing issue with a bank and Chris used his expertise to navigate to a successful conclusion. I have used Chris several times and will continue to do so. I have also recommended Chris to others.

- Dennis M.

I can’t say enough about how professional & helpful Chris Layton was during my personal injury suit after my auto accident. He covered everything in layman’s terms & was extremely helpful with all of my questions, issues, etc. I’ve recommended him to a few friends & they’ve all been happy with his services!

- Derek B.

Chris Layton was extremely helpful and informative. He always responded quickly to my emails and calls whenever I had questions. I would recommend him highly to anyone.

- Heather C.

Since I have known Chris all his life, he has always strived to be the best in whatever he has accomplished. I called him to ask him a question on Wills and Trust and he was so helpful with guiding me in the right direction. He doesn’t even practice in my state but took the time I needed to ease my concerns. As a lawyer I wish he was licensed in Delaware because Chris would be my number one choice. His knowledge and kindness can not be matched by another.

- Judith G.

My husband and I were in a car accident in January 2017. We called many personal injury law firms and felt most comfortable moving forward with Layton Law. The experience truly exceeded our expectations. Our lawyer, Chris Layton went above and beyond to help us through the entire ordeal. As the case developed, Chris guided us through each step of the process and did an excellent job communicating any case updates. My husband and I felt Layton Law was very professional, cared about our personal well-being, and fought for us to receive a fair settlement. We could not be happier with the outcome. I would highly recommend contacting Layton Law if you ever find yourself in need of a personal injury attorney.

- Kate T.

Chris is the greatest! He took my phone call both of the first two times I called and gave me very helpful information to get started. He made me feel comfortable and important, in that he expressed genuine concern for my situation and gave me prompt, courteous attention. I would recommend him for anyone I know, including family and friends.

- Roger V.

Not only was Chris easy to talk to, he really knows his stuff! Really trustworthy guy and made dealing with my case easy and quick. I feel confident in recommending him to everyone I know, and even people I don’t. Best lawyer hands down!
