PERSONAL INJURY
A person injured by the negligence of someone else is entitled to recover money for medical expenses incurred for medical treatment, pain and suffering and lost income. Frequently, there are insurance companies to be dealt with to determine if funds are available to adequately compensate the victim. There are also accompanying property damage issues, such as a damaged automobile in an automobile accident that must be handled.
Mewborn Law Office is experienced in handling personal injury cases both in and out of court. An initial consultation is free and will provide basic information about the law and its impact on your case. The types of personal injury services our firm offers include:

- Workers’ Compensation

Automobile Accidents
Our experienced trial attorneys aggressively seek resolution of difficult cases. Although cases are often settled after vigorous negotiations or mediation, we will continue through trial where appropriate. In addition to automobiles, our firm will also litigate accidents involving trucks, boats, ATVs, motorcycles, mopeds, jet skis, and other motorized vehicles.
Workers' Compensation
Mewborn Law Office handles workers’ compensation claims at every stage, including administrative motions, mediation, full evidentiary hearings, as well as appeals before the North Carolina Industrial Commission, the North Carolina Court of Appeals, and the North Carolina Supreme Court.
Wrongful Death
A claim for wrongful death occurs when a person has died as a result of someone's negligence. The damages in a wrongful death action are recovered by the administrator of the deceased person's estate and are distributed in accordance with North Carolina law. Perhaps the most difficult question may be the value of the loss of a life. This is a question that should not be answered without the input of an experienced attorney.
Medical Malpractice
Sometimes people find themselves in the unfortunate position of being worse after treatment by a medical care provider than they were before receiving the medical care. In North Carolina the law provides a means by which a person can be compensated for substandard or negligent care through the legal action of medical malpractice. The attorneys at Mewborn Law Office can assist victims of medical negligence with their claim to receive compensation in cases of serious injury by a medical provider.
