Drunk Driving Accidents

The award-winning drunk driving accident lawyers at Osborn Injury Lawyers will fight for justice and accountability.

Under North Carolina and South Carolina law, a person operating a motor vehicle under the influence of drugs or alcohol is “impaired” and at-fault for any injuries or damages they cause in a collision.Depending on the person, as few as 2-3 drinks in the span of a couple hours could lead to a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.08 or more, which makes their operation of a car or motor vehicle both 1) criminal and 2) negligent.

Tragically, despite the popularity of Uber and ride share services, drunk driving accidents are still very common in the Carolinas. The moments after a drunk driving accident can be crucial. If you’re physically able, it is important to document the accident scene, call the police, take pictures of the vehicle positioning, and (if you can do so safely), record the other driver and their behavior after the accident. Documenting or proving the extent of the driver’s intoxication or impairment can directly influence the amount that can be recovered in your case.

Drunk driving accidents are one of the few cases where there is no limit or cap to the amount of damages you can receive as a victim of drunk or impaired driver. Punitive damages, or damages to punish the wrongdoer, are very common in drunk driving cases. Even if you are not seriously injured or just suffered property damage, contact our experienced drunk driving lawyers who routinely obtain damages in excess of the actual loss for drunk driving claims.

Trucking Accidents

Our experienced trucking accident lawyers will put your back on the road to recovery.

Commercial trucking accidents are one of the most dangerous – and often fatal – forms of motor vehicle collisions on the roadways of North Carolina and South Carolina. Unlike other kinds of motor vehicle collisions, fatalities and catastrophic injuries caused by commercial truck accidents are on the rise in recent years.

Large commercial vehicles like logging trucks, big rigs, semi-tractor trailers, dump trucks, buses, 18-wheelers, flat beds, and box trucks are significantly larger than passenger vehicles, so the impact caused by the vehicles can be 5-10x greater than a standard motor vehicle accident under similar speeds and conditions. Unlike passenger vehicles, commercial trucks also rarely stop or only hit one vehicle during these accidents.

It is critical to contact an experienced trucking accident lawyer as soon as possible following an accident. Commercial trucking accidents involving complex federal regulations, specialized equipment, and critical evidence/data that can (and will be) “lost” by the commercial trucking company if immediate action is not taken. Fortunately, the trucking lawyers at Osborn Injury Lawyers are experienced in commercial trucking cases (including as former defense lawyers) and can take all steps necessary to secure your claim. Do not wait to contact us.

Pedestrian Accidents

If you’re injured while crossing the road or walking along a roadway, our experienced pedestrian accident lawyers can help.

Pedestrians never win and rarely walk away unscathed from a collision with a car. Even slow-speed impacts can cause a pedestrian with serious or permanent injuries. The most common form of injuries we see with pedestrian accidents are brain injuries, bruised or broken ribs, broken bones, torn ligaments in the knees and shoulders, and burns. The pedestrian accident attorneys at Osborn Injury Lawyers can help you recover every penny you deserve.

The most common dispute in a pedestrian accident is whether the pedestrian is at-fault. Insurance carriers will frequently blame the pedestrian victim no matter if they were in a crosswalk or not or even saw the vehicle approaching them. It is important to emphasize that pedestrians have the right to occupy space in a roadway and cross the road whether they are in a crosswalk or not. Our pedestrian accident lawyers frequently litigate (and win) cases involving pedestrians who are struck while not in a crosswalk.

When it comes down to “who is at-fault,” don’t make that judgment for yourself or trust a financially motivated insurance company. Schedule a free case evaluation with our award-winning pedestrian accident lawyers, so they can put their experience to use in your case.

Motorcycle Accidents

Our trusted motorcycle injury lawyers will fight to obtain every penny you deserve following your accident.

Accidents involving motorcycles and scooters typically involve serious injuries and even death. Because motorcycles are open air vehicles without the benefit of most safety features found in passenger cars, minor impacts or even glancing collisions can cause significant injuries to the driver. Motorcycle accidents frequently traumatic brain injuries, broken limbs, back or spine injuries, deglove injuries, or even limb amputations.

Whether it’s true or fair or not, the motorcycle operator is likely going to be blamed for their own injuries. Insurance carriers have an unfair attitude and outlook towards motorcycle riders, often considering them to be reckless or careless. For instance, insurance carriers frequently assume that motorcycle riders were speeding at the time of the collision and will use the extent of the victim’s injuries as evidence of that defense. Fortunately, our experienced motorcycle accident lawyers know that isn’t true and are able to work with accident reconstruction engineers to prove fault.

If you are involved in a motorcycle or moped accident, it is important to not wait or delay before contacting a motorcycle accident lawyer with the experience and track-record handling these claims. The injury attorneys at Osborn Injury lawyers have experience litigating these claims both on behalf of victims but also as defense lawyers and insurance adjusters.

Bicycle Accidents

If you’re injured by a car while riding your bicycle, our experienced bike accident lawyers will fight to get you every penny you deserve.

Bicyclists are entitled to use and share our roadways. However, for a variety of reasons, motorists frequently collide with bicyclists. When that happens, bicyclists typically suffer serious and life-changing injuries.

The moments following a bicycle accident are critical to establish fault and responsibility for these accidents. Motorists will frequently claim that cyclists “came out of nowhere” or “suddenly” darted in front of them. Our experienced bike accident lawyers will gather evidence, work with law enforcement, and even speak with local neighbors and businesses, as needed, to prove fault for these collisions.

If you are injured in a biking accident, do not wait or delay contacting a trust bike accident lawyer to investigate and evaluate your claim. The bike accident attorneys at Osborn Injury Lawyers are prepared to provide a free case evaluation for your claim today.
