How to Know If You Have a Personal Injury Claim
You may have a personal injury claim if another person or business failed to use reasonable care and that failure caused your injuries.
A claim usually requires proof of three main points:
- Fault: Another party acted carelessly, broke a safety rule, or failed to act when the law required action.
- Causation: That conduct caused or worsened your injury.
- Damages: You suffered losses, such as medical bills, lost wages, pain, reduced mobility, or long-term health effects.
Personal Injury Cases Our High Point Lawyers Handle
We represent injured people in High Point and throughout the surrounding Piedmont Triad.
Talk to us if you are looking for a:

- High Point Truck Accident Lawyer: Truck accidents often involve severe injuries and more than one responsible party. We may review the truck driver, trucking company, maintenance records, cargo loading, and available insurance coverage.
- High Point Motorcycle Accident Lawyer: Motorcyclists have little protection when a driver fails to yield, follows too closely, or changes lanes without looking. We help injured riders pursue compensation for crash-related losses.

- High Point Rideshare Accident Lawyer: Rideshare crashes may involve the driver’s personal insurance, commercial coverage, or another driver’s policy. We can identify the coverage that may apply to your claim.
- High Point Dog Bite Lawyer: Dog owners may be responsible when their animals seriously injure people. We focus on dog bite claims involving injuries to people, including scarring, infection, nerve damage, and trauma.
- High Point Construction Accident Lawyer: If you were hurt on a construction site, you may have a third-party injury claim against someone other than your employer. We can review whether a subcontractor, driver, property owner, or other company caused your injury.
- High Point Daycare Injury Lawyer: Parents trust daycare providers to keep children safe. When poor supervision, unsafe conditions, or careless conduct causes a child’s injury, we can review what happened and who may be liable.
- High Point Wrongful Death Lawyer: When negligence causes a fatal injury, the family may have the right to bring a wrongful death claim through the personal representative of the estate. We help families understand the claims available after a preventable loss.
If your injury does not fall neatly into one of these categories, we can still review what happened. During your free consultation, Auger & Auger can explain whether we may be able to help with your High Point personal injury claim.
What a High Point Personal Injury Accident Lawyer Can Do for Your Claim
Insurance companies do not evaluate injury claims from your point of view. They look for reasons to deny payment, reduce the value of your injuries, blame you for the accident, or argue that your medical treatment was not caused by the incident.
In North Carolina, that defense can carry serious consequences. Because the state follows contributory negligence, an insurer may try to block your recovery by arguing you were even 1% at fault.
This is why your claim must be supported by clear evidence, accurate records, and a legal strategy that addresses fault before the insurance company shapes the narrative.
When Auger & Auger represents you, we can:
- Investigate the accident and identify every party that may be legally responsible.
- Secure police reports, crash reports, business incident reports, photos, video footage, and witness statements.
- Review medical records and show how the accident caused or worsened your injuries.
- Document lost wages, reduced earning ability, out-of-pocket costs, and other financial losses.
- Review insurance coverage, including additional policies that may apply.
- Handle calls, letters, and settlement discussions with the insurance company.
- Challenge blame arguments under North Carolina’s contributory negligence rule.
- Prepare your claim for settlement negotiations or litigation when the insurer refuses to make a fair offer.
Our job is to protect the value of your claim with evidence. We do not let the insurance company decide what happened based on partial facts, missing records, or statements taken out of context.
Our High Point personal injury attorneys build the claim around liability, damages, and the full effect the injury has had on your health, work, and daily life.
Compensation Available in a Personal Injury Claim
Compensation depends on the evidence, the severity of the injury, the medical course of treatment, available insurance, and how the injury affects your work and home life.
Depending on the case, you may be able to seek compensation for:
- Emergency care and hospital bills.
- Follow-up visits, therapy, imaging, surgery, and medication.
- Future medical treatment.
- Lost wages.
- Reduced ability to earn income.
- Pain and suffering.
- Permanent injury, scarring, or reduced mobility.
- Property damage in vehicle cases.
- Out-of-pocket costs tied to the injury.
Insurance companies may make a fast offer before the full injury picture is clear. We review medical records, bills, wage information, and long-term effects before advising you on whether an offer fairly reflects your losses.
Deadlines for Personal Injury Claims in North Carolina
In many North Carolina personal injury cases, the filing deadline is three years from the date of injury. Wrongful death claims generally have a two-year deadline measured from the date of death.
Some cases can have shorter notice rules or different deadlines, especially when a government entity, minor, estate, or unusual claim type is involved. Waiting can also make evidence harder to find.
We review filing dates, insurance coverage, medical treatment, and available proof early so you do not lose the chance to bring a claim before it is properly evaluated.
