North Carolina employs a fault-based system of auto insurance for traffic-related accidents. Under this system, insurance companies will pay victims of a car accident in accordance to their respective responsibility for causing the accident. For example, if Bob and Joe were involved in a head-on collision and after an investigation it was determined that Bob was at fault because he swerved out of his lane and into oncoming traffic, Bob's insurance company would be responsible for paying for Joe's injuries as well as for Bob's injuries. An insurance claim may cover more than just medical bills associated with physical injuries. It may also cover any lost earnings, the victim experienced from missed work and even non-economic damages such as emotional trauma, pain and suffering and more.

There are situations where the other party may try to deny responsibility for causing a car accident or where your or the other party's insurance company may offer a settlement that is far below the true value of your claim. Having an experienced Greenville car accident attorney at your side can make all the difference in these and similar situations. Because North Carolina is a fault-based state for car accident claims, having a lawyer to fully investigate the matter and build a compelling case on your behalf can help ensure that you are not held accountable for an accident you did not actually cause.
