What Can The Downer Law Firm Do For Your Case?

Attorney

Our firm’s Charlotte injury attorneys employ a diligent investigative process to establish the at-fault party’s liability and counter any claims that you were at fault. We have access to professional networks, including accident reconstructionists and medical experts, to document the cause and impact of your injuries. Our lawyers could collect critical data to support your right to compensation, including:

  • Police reports
  • Witness statements
  • Photographs of the scene
  • Video footage from security cameras
  • Vehicle valuation reports

We will handle all negotiations with the insurance companies to prevent you from making statements that could inadvertently damage your case. Our attorneys evaluate both your current and long-term needs to seek full recovery for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

While many cases settle, we are staffed and prepared to take any case to trial when needed. Our litigation team is ready to advocate fiercely in court if a fair settlement cannot be reached. Our lawyers have the experience in filing hundreds, if not thousands, of lawsuits and have secured seven-figure settlements for clients.
