Personal Injury in Harnett County

An injury can interrupt work, family responsibilities and everyday routines long after the incident itself. Freddie Cruz and the personal injury team at the Law Offices of Wunsch and Cruz represent injured people in Harnett County. The firm's Lillington office serves clients from communities including Dunn, Angier, Coats and Erwin.

Speak with the Lillington office about your injury for help reviewing the incident, insurance communications and the effects on your life.

Looking beyond vehicle crashes

The practice includes car, truck and motorcycle crashes, pedestrian injuries, slip-and-fall incidents, dog bites, serious injuries involving alleged negligence and wrongful death claims. Different incidents raise different factual questions; an account of a collision will not involve exactly the same records as a fall or an animal-related injury.

Tell the attorney where the incident happened, who was involved and whether anyone made a report. Identifying possible responsibility requires a review of the circumstances, not simply the fact that an injury occurred.

Preserve the details of what happened

• Write down the date, location and sequence of events while you can recall them.
• Keep photographs in their original form and identify what they show.
• Record witness names and contact information, if available.
• Keep incident or accident report information and correspondence from insurers.
• Note relevant conditions at the scene and which details remain uncertain.

Describe the continuing effects

A consultation should include more than a description of the scene. Organize treatment records, bills and information about missed work. Explain changes to your daily activities and any care that is still underway, without guessing about a medical outcome.

If a family member is helping organize records, identify the injured person and the source of each document. For a consultation about a loved one's death, explain your relationship and bring the records already available; the attorney can discuss what further information is needed.

How the team reviews an injury matter

Freddie Cruz and the team review accident records, witness information, medical documentation and insurance communications. The discussion may identify disputed facts, additional records to seek and questions about a proposed settlement. Depending on the circumstances, the next steps may involve negotiation or preparation for court.

Ask how the available evidence relates to your concerns and what decisions need attention. An assessment of your own records is more useful than comparing your situation with someone else's settlement.

Preparing to meet in Lillington

You can begin with the records you have and a list of what is missing. Keep any insurer requests or settlement paperwork with the file. Our Fuquay-Varina personal injury page offers guidance on organizing insurance correspondence and information about the firm's other location.
