Hire a Personal Injury Lawyer From DAS Law Group, P.A.

DAS Law Group, P.A., has been helping the Charlotte Metro community through their personal injury claims for years. Our team has over a hundred years of cumulative experience working on various cases in North Carolina. We can offer guidance and assistance with every step of the process, from filing to the final settlement or verdict.

Types of Personal Injury Cases We Handle at DAS Law Group, P.A.

Matthews personal injury law encompasses a wide variety of accidents and injuries. Personal injury claims require showing that the injured party was hurt due to the complete negligence or wrongful act of the defendant.

In other states, it is possible for the injured person to be partially liable but still get some compensation. North Carolina is one of four states and D.C. that have strict, contributory negligence standards. If the injured party is found to have 1% of liability for the injury, their case may be thrown out.

DAS Law Group, P.A., can help your case pass the 1% standard. Our team has handled a wide range of personal injury claims, with some resulting in multimillion-dollar compensation. The following are some common examples of personal injury cases we have worked on:

• Vehicle collisions: Motorized vehicle accidents account for 40% of all personal injury cases per year, making it an important aspect of our practice.
• Work accidents: This includes any injury sustained in the workplace. It could be caused by being exposed to hazards, poor working conditions, or a lack of safety measures. Workers’ compensation is typically the exclusive remedy, but personal injury claims for work accidents are possible in certain, rare cases.
• Medical malpractice: A standard of care is expected in the medical world. If you were misdiagnosed or mistreated, it could be medical malpractice.
• Defective products: These cases involve any manufactured goods sold to the public that malfunction or have an inadequate warning label, leading to injuries.
• Property liability: Owners of both private and public property must maintain a level of safety. Dog attacks and slip and fall cases are two examples of common property liability.
• Wrongful death: If any of the above-mentioned accidents result in death rather than injury, the case would become a wrongful death claim.

North Carolina Personal Injury Lawsuit Filing Deadline

Directly after an injury, you may need to focus on recovery rather than legal action. However, it’s important to remember the statute of limitations.

In North Carolina, an injured person generally has three years to file a personal injury claim against the liable party. For instance, if you were injured on July 15^th, 2025, you would have until July 15^th, 2028, to pursue any legal action. If you miss this deadline, you will most likely be unable to file a claim.

There are some important qualifiers that can extend the three-year time period. One clear example is if the injuries were sustained before the age of eighteen. If you were hurt as a minor, the three-year period only commences when you become an adult. Other potential extensions are if the injuries were discovered after the three-year period or were intentionally concealed. These are rare and are most often associated with medical malpractice personal injury claims.

Insurance Adjusters Prioritize Company Profits Over Victim Recovery

Insurance companies have a long history of underpaying their clients. They may claim to care for their policyholders, but the reality is that they often put profit margins above helping people get treatment. Without legal support, citizens of Matthews may receive insulting, minimal offers. It can be intimidating to fight for a better payment.

DAS Law Group, P.A., can negotiate with your insurance provider to get a satisfactory sum. We know the strategies these big companies use, and we can push back against the loopholes and bad faith practices they like to employ.

You don’t have to accept the first offer your provider gives you. Speak with your attorney to see what avenues are available.
