Greensboro NC Personal Injury Lawyers

How We Build a Strong Case for You

Behind every successful claim is a methodical and thorough investigation. From the moment we take your case, our legal team gets to work assembling the pieces needed to prove fault and maximize compensation.

Gathering and Preserving Evidence

We begin by collecting all available evidence—police reports, medical records, photos, surveillance footage, and more. Our investigators visit the scene, take detailed notes, and may even use technology like drone footage or 3D mapping in more complex cases.

Preserving evidence is especially important in cases involving commercial vehicles, defective products, or unsafe premises. These environments change quickly, and evidence that isn’t secured early may be lost forever.

Interviewing Witnesses and Experts

We speak with everyone who has knowledge of the incident—from eyewitnesses to medical providers. In many cases, we also bring in expert witnesses, such as:

• Accident reconstruction specialists who explain how the event happened
• Medical experts who speak to your prognosis and future care needs
• Vocational experts who address how the injury impacts your ability to work

These experts help paint a full picture of how the injury occurred and what it means for your life moving forward.

Calculating the Full Scope of Damages

Some losses—like hospital bills or lost wages—are easy to document. Others, like pain, emotional distress, or permanent loss of enjoyment of life, are harder to quantify but just as important. Our team works closely with you, your family, and your doctors to understand the full impact of the injury, both today and in the years ahead.

We pursue compensation for:

• Emergency medical treatment
• Surgeries, hospital stays, and rehabilitation
• Lost income and diminished earning potential
• Pain, suffering, and emotional distress
• Loss of consortium or wrongful death benefits for surviving family members

Every dollar we seek is backed by documentation and expert analysis, giving your claim the strength it needs to stand up in negotiation—or in court, if necessary.

Legal claims in Greensboro require both strategic thinking and local experience. At Lanier Law Group, we bring both to the table—along with a long-standing commitment to helping injury victims take back control of their future. When you’re ready to explore your options, we’re ready to listen.

Compensation You May Be Entitled To

When you’ve been hurt because of someone else’s carelessness, the consequences ripple through every part of your life. From medical bills that pile up quickly to time missed from work and the toll on your physical and emotional wellbeing, the impact can be devastating. A personal injury claim is meant to recover these losses—and make sure you have the financial resources to heal, rebuild, and move forward.

At Lanier Law Group, we work to capture the full scope of what you’ve endured. That means not only the costs you’ve already faced, but the expenses and losses that may continue long into the future.

Hospital Bills and Ongoing Medical Care

Medical treatment after an accident can be overwhelming in both complexity and cost. Initial emergency care is just the beginning. You may need surgeries, follow-up visits, diagnostic tests, physical therapy, medications, assistive devices, or even long-term rehabilitation. Some clients also require in-home care, home modifications, or specialized equipment.

Our firm works with medical experts to document every stage of your care plan—past, present, and future. These records help us calculate accurate, evidence-based demands so you aren’t left shouldering costs down the road.

Lost Wages and Diminished Earning Capacity

Injury doesn’t just affect your health—it can affect your income. Missed work due to recovery time or follow-up appointments can mean weeks or months without pay. For some, the injury causes lasting limitations that make it impossible to return to the same job or work full-time at all.

We work to recover compensation for the income you’ve already lost and for the earnings you’re projected to lose in the future. This may include lost promotions, reduced hours, or even the need to leave the workforce entirely. In these cases, we bring in economists or vocational specialists to help estimate your total lost earning capacity.

Pain, Suffering, and Loss of Enjoyment

Some losses can’t be measured by invoices or pay stubs. Pain and suffering refer to the physical discomfort and emotional hardship you’ve endured due to your injury. Anxiety, depression, chronic pain, PTSD, and reduced enjoyment of life are common but often overlooked consequences.

Our team takes the time to understand how your life has changed—what you can no longer do, what you struggle with daily, and how the injury has affected your relationships and routines. These are real losses, and North Carolina law recognizes your right to pursue compensation for them.

Fatal Injury Cases and Family Compensation

When a loved one’s life is cut short by someone else’s negligence, surviving family members may have the right to pursue a wrongful death claim. These claims can include funeral and burial costs, medical expenses incurred before death, lost household income, and loss of companionship or support.

Lanier Law Group handles these deeply personal cases with sensitivity, care, and strength. We work to hold negligent parties accountable while giving grieving families space to heal.

Why Insurance Companies Don’t Want You to Call Us

Insurance companies often present themselves as being on your side—but their true goal is to protect their own bottom line. From the moment a claim is filed, their primary focus is limiting the amount they have to pay. That’s why they hope you’ll handle your case alone.

Adjusters Are Trained to Minimize Payouts

Insurance adjusters are skilled professionals with extensive training in claim evaluation. Their job is to look for any reason to deny or reduce your payout. This can include downplaying the severity of your injuries, questioning your account of the accident, or arguing that pre-existing conditions—not the accident—are to blame for your pain.

They may also pressure you to accept a quick settlement before you fully understand the long-term impact of your injury. Once you sign a release, you typically forfeit the right to seek more compensation—even if your condition worsens or future medical needs arise.

Delay, Deny, and Deflect

A common tactic is to delay processing your claim in the hopes that you’ll give up out of frustration or financial need. Adjusters may repeatedly request additional documentation, claim that certain treatments are unnecessary, or go silent altogether. In some cases, they may outright deny the claim based on technicalities or weak arguments designed to wear you down.

When we step in, the game changes. We know these tactics—and we don’t tolerate them. From the start, we position your claim to withstand these strategies and push for timely, fair resolutions.

Why Legal Representation Levels the Field

Hiring an experienced personal injury attorney signals to the insurance company that you’re serious. It removes their ability to exploit confusion, lack of legal knowledge, or desperation. It also ensures that every conversation, every negotiation, and every document is handled by someone who knows the system and how to work it in your favor.

At Lanier Law Group, we’re not here to accept the first offer. We build strong cases backed by evidence, expert input, and thorough documentation. And we’re ready to take your case to trial if that’s what it takes to secure the compensation you deserve.

We also guide you through every stage of your case—so you know what to expect and what’s coming next. You’ll never have to wonder where things stand or what you should be doing.

Bilingual Support in Greensboro

Greensboro is home to a vibrant and growing Spanish-speaking community. We proudly offer bilingual support to make sure all clients—regardless of language—feel heard, understood, and represented. Our bilingual team members are available to assist throughout the case so that language is never a barrier to justice.

If you’re ready to take that first step toward recovery and justice, we’re ready to walk with you every step of the way.

Every Day You Wait, Your Case Grows Weaker

Time doesn’t just heal wounds—it can also erode your ability to hold the right people accountable. After a serious injury, it’s tempting to delay legal action. You may be focused on medical appointments, adjusting to physical limitations, or simply trying to process what happened. But when it comes to protecting your legal rights, waiting can be a costly mistake.

Evidence Doesn’t Last Forever

Strong personal injury claims are built on clear, timely evidence. That means things like accident scene photos, surveillance footage, vehicle debris, and medical records all play a critical role in proving what occurred. But that evidence can quickly disappear or degrade.

Video footage is often deleted on a rolling basis. Damaged vehicles are repaired or scrapped. Physical hazards on a property may be cleaned up or fixed before they’re documented. If you wait too long, key proof may be gone—and your case becomes much harder to prove.

Our legal team acts fast to preserve every piece of evidence that could support your claim. From sending out evidence preservation letters to arranging independent inspections, we take immediate steps to secure the information needed to hold negligent parties accountable.

Witnesses Become Harder to Find—and Their Memories Fade

Witnesses are another essential component of many injury cases. They can offer firsthand accounts of what happened, provide details not found in police reports, and help establish timelines or fault. But people move, change phone numbers, or simply become less available with time. Even when witnesses are located, their recollection may no longer be clear or confident enough to support a legal claim.

That’s why early action matters. The sooner you reach out for help, the sooner your legal team can start identifying and interviewing witnesses while their memories are still fresh and reliable. Those conversations can later become critical testimony that tips the scales in your favor.

Insurance Companies Benefit From Delay

Every day that passes without legal representation is a day the insurance company gets to shape the narrative. They may contact you directly, ask for recorded statements, or offer a quick settlement that doesn’t reflect your actual needs. Without an attorney on your side, you may inadvertently say something that weakens your claim—or accept a lowball offer out of desperation or confusion.

Hiring an attorney early in the process levels the playing field. It puts a barrier between you and the insurance company, ensures that all communications are handled strategically, and gives your legal team time to build the strongest possible case from the start.

The Clock Is Always Ticking

Under North Carolina law, the statute of limitations for most personal injury claims is three years from the date of the accident. If you don’t file within that window, your case may be dismissed entirely—no matter how serious your injuries or how clear the fault may be.

Some cases, such as those involving government entities, have even shorter timelines and stricter notice requirements. Missing one of these deadlines could mean giving up your right to compensation altogether.

By starting early, you give yourself the best chance at success. You allow your legal team time to investigate thoroughly, negotiate effectively, and—if necessary—prepare for trial without last-minute pressure.
