How can a Rockingham injury attorney help my case?
Personal injury cases can become complex incredibly quickly, and injury victims often lack the resources necessary to investigate their claims. When you turn to our personal injury attorneys, you can count on having a team on your side that can handle every aspect of your case. The attorneys at Price, Petho & Associates have the resources necessary to:
- Uncover the evidence needed to prove liability. This includes photo evidence from the scene of the incident, video surveillance from nearby buildings, statements from eyewitnesses, accident or police reports, and more.
- Ensure you are evaluated by a trusted medical professional who can treat your injuries and help estimate your total medical costs. This includes your future medical costs and needs, not only what you have accrued since your accident.
- Handle all communication and negotiation with insurance carriers and at-fault parties to obtain a fair settlement out of court. This helps ensure insurance adjusters and other attorneys do not attempt to take advantage of you while you are trying to recover from your injuries.
- Take your case to trial if necessary to ensure that you are treated fairly by all parties. Our lawyers prepare every claim as if it is going to trial to show other parties that we are serious about every case and every client. It’s how we built our reputation.
Our decades of combined legal experience help injury victims and their families secure the compensation they deserve, begin their recovery, and gain closure for what happened to them.
What is my personal injury case worth?
After an accident and injury that was not your fault, you have the right to pursue damages in a personal injury action. A successful claim will secure you financial compensation for losses including:
- Medical bills and expenses, current and future
- Lost wages and loss of earning potential
- Pain and suffering, meaning your physical and mental pain
- Emotional distress, from the trauma of your accident and injuries
In rare cases, the court may award a victim punitive damages, designed to punish the defendant. These are only awarded in cases when the defendant acted with egregious behavior or gross negligence. Our Rockingham injury attorneys can explain more about how these work in your free consultation.
What is the statute of limitations for Rockingham personal injury claims?
After a serious accident and injury, you have a limited amount of time to file a lawsuit, which is called a statute of limitations. Here in North Carolina, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims is three years, and two years for wrongful death claims. Waiting too long to file a claim can result in a denial, and you may be unable to pursue compensation for your losses. For the best chance at a successful outcome, contact the attorneys at Price, Petho & Associates as soon as possible.

Also, my wife got rear ended in her car (total loss) about 6 months ago and my insurance company was delaying our claim and payment, we went to Price Petho and Associates again for some advice, Margaret E. Ford welcomed us right away, we explained the situation, she understood and explained to us what options we had.
