Practice Areas

The term "personal injury" refers to laws that help people who have suffered tremendously because of the negligence of another person or institution. Often, personal injury lawsuits help individuals get justice against large companies, such as insurance companies, that refuse to give them money that they need to recover from a terrible accident.

The injury attorneys at Whitley Law Firm are proud to practice personal injury law on behalf of clients in Raleigh and across North Carolina. Though every case is different, many involve the following issues which are confidently handled by an attorney at our personal injury law firm:

• Auto Accidents: Our attorneys have helped hundreds of people throughout North Carolina who have suffered car crashes, truck collisions, fatal motorcycle crashes, and other auto wrecks.
• Trucking Accidents: Because truck drivers have many special regulations they must follow, truck accident lawsuits have special circumstances and require experienced North Carolina trucking accident lawyers.

• Wrongful Death: If your loved one has been killed because of the negligence of some other organization or individual, you should consider filing a wrongful death claim. The last thing you should have to worry about, at a time like this, is money.
• Catastrophic Injury: In a terrible tragedy, such as a closed head injury, brain damage, multiple injuries, paralysis, fractured skull, or spinal cord injury, it may be necessary to pursue a lawsuit in order for the sufferer to gain the money he or she needs to pay medical bills, lost wages, and other expenses.
• Car Accident Injuries: Though not all car accidents leave clients with a catastrophic injury, many other injuries may occur, such as whiplash, back pain, broken bones, sprains, strains, abrasions and deep lacerations.
• Product Liability: Many products, such as pharmaceuticals and medical devices, have been shown to be unnecessarily dangerous, and people injured by such products should collect compensation.
