You may be missing time from work, watching your debt climb with medical expenses, or unable to partake in activities you once enjoyed. We want to be a part of your legal support system as you begin the process of rebuilding your life.
We help claimants who have been injured in:
Car Accidents
If you were injured in an auto accident, our Asheville car accident lawyers can gather evidence showing that the other driver’s negligence caused or contributed to the collision. We handle such car accidents as:
- Hit and runs
- Improper or unsafe lane changes
- Left-turn accidents
- Tailgating or aggressive driving
- Texting while driving or distracted driving
- Wrong-way accidents
We can negotiate for a fair settlement from the insurance companies that covers your damages. If an insurance settlement does not provide the compensation you need, we can file a personal injury lawsuit and take your case to court.
Truck Accidents
Most car accidents have a single liable party. However, commercial trucks have multiple parties involved in their operation. As such, a truck accident may have several liable parties, including:
- The truck driver
- The trucking company
- The truck and parts manufacturer
- The cargo loaders
- The maintenance providers
You may even have a personal injury case with a local government agency responsible for the conditions on the road. Our Asheville truck accident lawyers will investigate your accident and gather evidence to assign liability.
Motorcycle Accidents
Every motorist has a duty of care on the road, but drivers must be ever more vigilant when it comes to watching out for motorcycles. Yet, too many motorists disregard this obligation, resulting in more than 3,200 crashes in 2022, according to the North Carolina Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV).
These crashes often end in catastrophic injuries for the riders. We will hold the negligent driver liable and fight to get compensation from them.
Uber and Lyft Accidents
Uber and Lyft have exploded in popularity in the Asheville area, but their drivers are not immune to accidents. Determining the liability and the insurance coverage between the driver and the rideshare company can be complex following an accident. Our Asheville rideshare accident lawyers help you navigate the process of filing a personal injury claim and collecting compensation for your collision-related expenses.
Medical Malpractice
If you or someone you love was injured while receiving medical care, you may have a valid medical malpractice claim against several parties, including:
- The doctor
- A member of the doctor’s staff
- The facility
Medical malpractice attorneys with our personal injury law firm will investigate your case and work with medical experts to identify the at-fault party to your injuries.
Defective Products
Sometimes, dangerous or defective products get released into the marketplace without proper testing. From dangerous drugs to household products, these cases could be due to:
- Errors and flaws during manufacturing
- Defective designs
- Inadequate warnings and labeling
If you were injured by a consumer good, product liability will rest on how the defect resulted in your injuries. A product liability lawyer can develop your case while you recover. We will also explore whether your case could be a part of a mass tort or class action.
Work Injuries
If your injury occurred on the job, you may be eligible to file both a worker’s compensation claim in Asheville with your employer’s insurance provider. Common workplace accidents include:
- Falls from heights
- Exposure to caustic or toxic chemicals
- Electrocution
- Struck by equipment or materials
- Overexertion

Depending on the circumstance in your case, you may also qualify to pursue a third-party lawsuit against another responsible party. A workplace accident lawyer can explain your legal options and build a case to obtain compensation for your and your family’s needs.

Your injuries may have caused you to miss time from work.

North Carolina’s Personal Injury Statute of Limitations
All personal injury cases have a statute of limitations. This is the legal deadline for the case. In North Carolina, you generally have three years under N.C. Gen. Stat. § 1-52 to file a lawsuit against the party responsible for your losses. If the statute expires before you file a lawsuit, you may lose the right to compensation.
Certain extenuating circumstances could grant you additional time to act, such as the age of the victim. However, there are also situations where your time could be far shorter. A personal injury attorney from Farmer & Morris Law, PLLC can explain how the state’s statute of limitations applies to your case.
