Trying to cross the street can be an anxiety-inducing experience. Even with crosswalks and lights, you never know when someone is going to ignore the rules of the road or be just slightly too late to react because they were distracted. Often times, crossing the street can feel like you're taking your life into your own hands even if you're following all of the laws. No matter what someone's reasoning is, if you had the right of way and were still hit, they were in the wrong. This is especially true in North Carolina, where pedestrians have the right of way in all crosswalks and driveways.

Even crossing one way streets can be dangerous if someone isn't paying attention. It is often instilled in us from a young age to look both ways, but it can seem almost silly to do it while crossing a single lane street. It's important to remember, though, that some people either don't pay attention to the signs like they should, or that roads sometimes change. Even though it may not be your fault, it doesn't hurt to exercise caution when around moving vehicles. Crossing the street shouldn't be dangerous, and yet it accounts for a good amount of the crashes we see in this country every year.

While we could spend time to tell you how to safely cross the road, we are sure you understand how to do it yourself. The main thing to remember is that if you were in a crosswalk and you followed the direction of any signal there may have been, you were not at fault. It can be hard to feel like that's true while you're recovering or being called day and night by insurance companies that are trying to place the blame on you so they don't have to pay your medical bills, but we can assure you that it is. That's why you need a lawyer on your side.

Any time you are seriously hurt, there is a chance that you will have to live with the effects of the injury in some capacity for the rest of your life. You may very well know someone who was hurt when they were a kid and still feels pain from it well into adulthood. For some of you reading now, that may even describe you. While these kinds of injuries can range in cause and severity, the fact remains that sometimes the human body can't just bounce back from whatever occurs, even if the person is young. When this happens due to someone else's negligence, there are a couple of things that need to be done before it's too late.

Obviously, the first thing that needs to happen is that you need to see a doctor. Get a second opinion. You can even get a third. You never want to just take the first diagnosis and give up hope if it's bleak. Make sure that you follow the medical advice of trusted professionals when it comes to recovering from your injury. Work with them to make sure that you give yourself the best chance at a full recovery. Unfortunately, medicine doesn't always have a miracle cure. Sometimes, your injuries are just too extensive and severe to go back to 100 percent. When this happens, it's especially important to follow this next step:

If your injuries were caused by someone else, you need to seek legal assistance. This can help you with medical bills which will almost definitely stack up, and you may be able to work with your lawyer to file for disability depending on how severe the injuries are. It's important to speak with a legal team before you take any sort of settlement that may be offered as well. You never want to take a large sum of money when you may need and deserve more than you're being offered. If you were severely injured by someone else, make sure you know who to call.

Wayne Hardee has decades of experience with these kinds of cases. Personal injury claims are his specialty, and you can rest assured that you have one of the best lawyers in the state on your side when you give him a call. With unending compassion and dedication, Wayne is going to be your best option when it comes to dealing with personal injury cases in North Carolina. Call him today and see how he help your case!

No one ever anticipates getting seriously injured. You don't wake up in the morning and think, “Today seems like a great day to slip on some spilled laundry detergent in the store and break my arm and two fingers”. Unfortunately, however, these injuries do happen. When someone is injured and it is particularly extreme, it is often referred to as a catastrophic injury. This is defined as an injury that is life changing in its severity. While we often hear of these injuries being the result of things like car accidents, the truth is that anything can cause one if the conditions and timing are just right. You never know what can cause a catastrophic injury.

Think about walking through a store. Maybe you're at the mall and you want to get to the next floor, but you don't want to deal with the line to the elevators. Thankfully, you have an escalator to use! You get on it and even though you remember the horror stories your parents or older siblings told you, you're happy you don't have wait or walk up the stairs. The problem is, any number of things can go wrong with these machines. It seems rare that all of them are in working order at any given time as well. Sometimes, you can even feel that it isn't working correctly while you are on it.

Have you ever felt an escalator or elevator shudder and jerk while you were on it? This happens relatively often, but most of the time everything turns out fine. However there is always the chance of that one time where it causes someone to lose their balance, or perhaps another person will fall into them. When something like this happens in a bad area, the injuries sustained may be severe. Head, neck, or back injuries are not uncommon with falls, and can lead to life-long problems including paralysis. When this happens, you need someone who can help you on your side.

If you have suffered a catastrophic injury, there is one man you should trust to handle your case. Wayne Hardee has decades of experience with these sorts of injuries and will fight to get you the compensation that you deserve. You have enough to worry about while focusing on recovery, you shouldn't have to try and fight insurance companies and anyone who may be held accountable for your injury as well. Give him a call and see how much he manages to help you!

The ways in which we can get around are so varied now. You may have a standard sedan or a convertible or an SUV, but no matter what you drive, it feels great to get out on the open road with your favorite music playing as you drive. If you don't own a car and it safe to do so, riding your bicycle is another great way of getting around locally. A bicycle helps you get your exercise in while getting you places faster than simply walking would. Riding your bike can feel like a great way to pass the time, especially when the weather starts to warm up, but you do still need to be extremely careful.

If you enjoy riding your bike, then you've probably shared the road with cars. While you can take every precaution, including wearing a helmet and fitting your bike with reflective bars or lights, some drivers still don't seem to see you. This can be terrifying, even for people who have been riding around for years. One of the problems is that drivers just keep getting more and more distracted behind the wheel. With devices such as cell phones being so common now, it can be difficult to tell if the drivers you're trusting your safety to are actually paying attention to you or not.

A person on a bicycle does not have the same protections from an impact as a person in a car. If a bike is hit, most of the force hits the body instead of to the frame of the vehicle like it would otherwise. This can be dangerous enough if the car is going slow, when a driver is going around 40 miles an hour like many roads allow, it can be deadly. Even being hit at 25 mph, which is the speed limit in many residential areas, can be devastating and leave someone with life-altering injuries.

If you were hit by a car while riding your bicycle, give Wayne Hardee a call. He has decades of experience with personal injury cases just like yours. If you cannot come into the office, he will find a way to come to you and get started on your case. We know this is a difficult and scary time, but you don't have to go through it alone. Give Wayne a call and see how much of a difference it can make in your case!

Car accidents are never easy to move on from. Even the smallest fender bender can seem like it takes years to deal with insurance companies. Once you get into the possibility of injuries both from you and the other people involved, it can quickly become overwhelming. If a minor crash can be this complicated and confusing, it's no wonder why so many people are worried about getting into a serious accident. Not only do you often have to deal with expensive medical bills and the cost of replacing your car, but you will likely have to go to the hospital and stay at least one night. With the cost of medical care coupled with the lack of income after a crash, a hospital stay can easily be your worst nightmare.

When you are in a car accident, there are a few things that need to happen. The most important is a call to the appropriate first responders so that you and anyone else involved or even just in the area is given the proper care and protection. This will change depending on the specific situation, but may involve paramedics, police, and/or fire fighters. It can be difficult to stay focused during this, and it often means you miss something you're experiencing due to adrenaline. This means that you should get checked out and brought to the hospital so you can be cleared by a doctor once they can make sure that you are safe and well enough to go home.

If you are not able to go home due to your injuries, you will suddenly have other questions that need to be answered. Most of these will have to do with either arrangements at home, what will happen to your job, and how you're going to afford the medical bills. These last two are heavily tied together, as you can't afford anything if you lose your job because you suddenly can't come in and work. All of these questions can overwhelm you quickly, so you need someone on your side who can help.

If you were in a car crash that required you to stay in the hospital for any amount of time, give Wayne Hardee a call. He has decades of experience working with these kinds of cases and can help you every step of the way. Call today and see how we can help you with your claim!

Any time a severe injury occurs, it is traumatic. The fact that something can happen at any time without an ounce of warning due to something completely beyond your control that can change the rest of your life can be difficult to wrestle with. It is a legitimate source of anxiety for many people, and can be severe on its own. If you or someone you know has ever been harmed in a situation like that, then you know just how damaging it can be to the body and mind. While some of these events are easier to bounce back from than others, there will always be some accidents that everyone will agree are life altering. No matter what happens in recovery in these situations, the person injured deserves some sort of compensation for their injury. One such injury is the loss of a limb.

Any time that someone loses a limb, it can completely change a person's life. Even just a toe or single finger can throw everything into flux, especially depending upon the person's career. Think about a professional musician losing even just the tip a finger and you can understand just how much the smallest loss can ruin someone's livelihood. If someone is in an accident which results in the loss of a limb, it can truly be devastating. The issue then not only becomes the physical recovery period and compensating them for their medical expenses, but the mental aspect of this as well. It can be difficult enough to figure out how to compensate someone for things that they can no longer do. When someone's entire career is impacted, or an accident takes away their ability to perform a beloved hobby, things can change. Situations like these are why it is always a good idea to get a good legal team on your side.

Even though we are getting toward the end of the year, the weather has been nice enough to travel. Whether you have a simple sedan or a fancy sports car, it can feel great to get out on the open road with your favorite music playing as you drive. Another great method of getting from one place to another, if safe to do so, is riding your bicycle. A bicycle helps you work out and is obviously faster than simply walking. Riding your bike can be a great way to pass the time and we always suggest you take advantage of the weather when you can, but you do still need to be very careful.

If you enjoy riding your bike, you've probably done so with cars on the road. While you may follow the rules of the road such as wearing a helmet and having reflective bars or lights, some drivers still don't seem to see you. This can be nerve wracking, even for people who have been riding for years. Unfortunately, drivers keep getting more and more distracted. With things like cell phones being so common now, it can be difficult to tell if the drivers you're surrounded by are actually paying attention to you or not.

A person on a bicycle does not have the same protection from an impact as a person in a car. If a bike is hit, most of the force goes straight to the rider's body instead of to the frame of the vehicle like it would otherwise. While this can be dangerous enough if the car is going slow, when a driver is cruising around 40 miles an hour like many roads are, it can be deadly. Even being hit at 25 mph, which is what you see in many residential areas, can be devastating and leave someone with at least life-altering injuries.

If you were hit by a car while riding your bicycle, give Wayne Hardee a call. He has decades of experience with personal injury cases, including accidents with vehicles. If you cannot come into the office due to your injuries, he will come to you and get all of the information needed to help your case. We know this is difficult and can be scary, but you don't have to go through it alone. Give Wayne a call and see how much of a difference he can make on your case!

Almost no one ever truly plans to get seriously injured. You don't tend to wake up in the morning and think, “I am going to step off the side of the stairs in front of work today with the sole intention of breaking my leg”. Unfortunately, these injuries do happen regardless of planning. When an injury occurs and it is particularly extreme, it is what's known as a catastrophic injury. This simply means an injury that is life changing in its severity. While we often think of these as the result of incidents such as car accidents, the truth is that any little thing can cause one if the conditions are just right. You never know what can trigger a catastrophic injury.

For example, think of an escalator. Normally we don't even think about it before we climb onto one to get to another floor. I'm sure many of us grew up hearing urban legends about people getting their shoes sucked into the gears, but for the most part we use them without much of a second thought. However, any number of things can go wrong with these machines. Just think about the last time you were at a mall or other multi-level store that has them. It seems rare that all of them are working at the same time. Sometimes, you can even feel that it isn't working quite right while you are riding it.

Have you ever felt an escalator shudder or jerk while you were on it? This happens relatively often, but most of the time nothing bad results from it. However, there will likely be that one time where it causes someone to lose their balance. When something like this happens, the injuries sustained may be severe. Head, neck, or back injuries are not uncommon with falls, and they may lead to life-long problems such as paralysis. When this happens, you need someone who can help you on your side.

If you have suffered a catastrophic injury, there is one man you should call to handle your case. Wayne Hardee has decades of experience with these sorts of injuries and will fight to get you the compensation that you deserve. You have enough to worry about while focusing on recovery, you shouldn't have to try and take on insurance companies and anyone who may be held accountable for your injury as well. Give him a call and see how much having him on your side can help you!
