Recoverable Damages a South Gastonia Car Accident Lawyer Can Fight to Collect for You
A car accident can cause severe physical and emotional trauma, along with financial expenses. You could suffer a traumatic brain injury, internal injuries, or severe whiplash, all of which require extensive medical care and could prevent you from earning an income. You could also experience PTSD, anxiety, or depression.
Maybe you were driving down South York Road when a drunk driver hit you head-on, or perhaps you were turning onto Davis Park Road when another driver ran through a red light. You can demand the following types of damages from the negligent party’s insurance provider after an accident:
Economic Damages
- Medical bills: Current and future medical expenses relating to your car accident injuries
- Lost wages and benefits: Current and future income, raises, bonuses, and benefits you lose because of your injuries
- Home modifications: Changes to your home to help you adapt to your injuries, such as wider doorways and ramps
- Transportation: Rideshare or other transportation services to help you reclaim your mobility if your injuries prevent you from driving
- Household services: Cleaning, yard work, and other home maintenance you may require a service to provide if your injuries prevent you from doing it yourself
Non-Economic Damages
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional trauma
- Mental anguish
- Disfigurement (scars, amputations, etc.)
- Disabilities (physical and intellectual)
- Loss of enjoyment of life
You are more likely to recover compensation for non-financial damages if you have severe physical injuries. We encourage you to maintain a journal to document how your injuries impact your life, including your emotional and mental health.
Wrongful Death Damages
Maybe you were not the victim of an auto accident but lost someone you love instead. North Carolina saw 1,784 traffic accident fatalities in 2022 alone, according to the North Carolina Department of Transportation.

A South Gastonia wrongful death lawyer from our firm can fight to recover damages for your family, including:

Meeting the Car Accident Statute of Limitations in South Gastonia
We recommend hiring a personal injury lawyer as soon as possible after suffering severe injuries or losing a loved one in a car accident. Evidence can disappear quickly, and witnesses’ memories will fade.
You only have three years to file a personal injury lawsuit in North Carolina, according to G.S. §1-52. You have even less time (only two years) to file a wrongful death lawsuit, per G.S. § 1-53.
Your South Gastonia car accident injury attorney will work to meet the statute of limitations so you can take the negligent party to court to recover compensation if it becomes necessary to secure fair compensation.
