Ward and Smith: Personal Injury & Wrongful Death
Perhaps you or a family member were seriously injured. Perhaps a loved one lost his or her life. It’s hard to know what to do and where to get help. We know, because we’ve been there with more than a thousand clients, dealing with everything from auto accidents to nursing home deaths.
When you’re facing a catastrophic personal injury or the loss of a loved one, you have the right to fierce, knowledgeable advocates who will listen to you, work to find the truth, and seek justice for you and your family. You have the right to allies who understand what you’re going through and can help.
Personal Injury + Wrongful Death Related Practices
Ward and Smith’s personal injury attorneys have been representing victims and victims’ families in cases involving traumatic brain injury (TBI), paralysis, wrongful death, and other injuries for decades.
We believe victims and their families are entitled to the full compensation they’re owed under our legal system. We’ve pursued that belief all the way to jury trials more than 150 times, winning favorable decisions for clients. We’ll pursue it for you, too.
The results? Medical bills paid. Lost wages restored. Families compensated. Wrongs made right. Justice done.
How Ward and Smith Fights for Clients
Our personal injury attorneys are active in every phase of litigation, from the initial investigation and discovery through negotiated settlements and jury trials. Our clients benefit from the team approach we take to every individual case, to achieve the best possible result and make the process as easy as possible for clients.
We’ve represented more than a thousand clients in North Carolina. With the assistance of lawyers in other jurisdictions, we’ve also represented North Carolinians who were injured in other states and even other countries (including Aruba, Tortola, Canada, and Belgium).
We have resources that few other personal injury law firms can match. Those include:
- The resources to conduct investigations, hire experts, and argue a case in the most powerful way possible.
- A multi-disciplinary support team that includes licensed paralegals, certified litigation technology specialists and support staff available whenever needed.
- A deep bench of personal injury and litigation attorneys that allows us to manage multiple cases at once, and pick the right attorney to lead the effort on your case.
- A commitment to always being responsive to our clients, including traveling to meet them in person whenever or wherever we are needed.
- The backing of a multi-specialty law firm, so your attorney can call on other lawyers to help you wade through insurance and Medicare claims, manage estate issues or deal with other legal matters.
- Our approach combines extensive resources with personal attention. The goal is to tell your story in the most powerful way to the jury, to ensure you get the results you deserve.
We never lose sight of the victims and families we represent. Our mission is to make sure you’re treated fairly and get the answers, compensation, and the justice you deserve.
Ready to Defend Your Rights
Whether you or a loved one were the victim, you deserve to understand what your options are and what compensation you may be owed under the law.
