Wilmington, NC Personal Injury Attorneys

Serving Clients in Wilmington, North Carolina

The port city of Wilmington is one of the greatest gems of the Carolinas and shines more brightly today than ever before. The Riverwalk and historic downtown, the pristine intercoastal, and many sunny beaches in the area attract thousands of visitors every year. Recently, Wilmington has become one of the fastest growing cities in the country.

As the city has become busier, so have its roads and waterways. This has created conditions for more car accidents, truck accidents and boating accidents in the Wilmington area. In 2019, Wilmington had the most boating accident fatalities in North Carolina. Even when boating accidents do not result in death, the physical injuries and financial damage they cause can be devastating. The Wilmington personal injury attorneys at Edwards Kirby are dedicated to fighting to compensate victims of these accidents, so that they and their families can focus on recovering.

Edwards Kirby has a proven track record of success in Wilmington and throughout southeastern North Carolina and has achieved record setting verdicts and large settlements for those injured. If you have suffered an injury as a result of another’s negligence, you are entitled to bring a lawsuit to compensate you for your injuries, from medical expenses to pain and suffering incurred as a result of the injury. Edwards Kirby has experienced Wilmington personal injury attorneys who can help you navigate the complexities of your lawsuit. Remember, you don’t pay us unless we recover.

What is the Statute of Limitations for Personal Injury Claims in North Carolina?

North Carolina law sets a strict three-year time limit for most personal injury claims, which means you have just three years from the date of your accident to file a lawsuit. Missing this deadline could mean losing your right to seek justice and recover the compensation you deserve for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering. While three years may seem like a long time, it can slip away quickly, especially when you’re focused on healing and rebuilding your life.

What does this mean for you?

Because every case is unique, it’s important to speak with an experienced personal injury attorney as soon as possible. At Edwards Kirby, we can help you understand how the statute of limitations applies to your specific situation, work with your insurance company, and make sure you file your claim within the legal timeframe.

Mr. Bystrinski is a clearly an experienced lawyer, a consistent and effective communicator, and a genuinely nice guy.

“Mr. Bystrinski is a clearly an experienced lawyer, a consistent and effective communicator, and a genuinely nice guy. Starting out, we had very little knowledge of what to do with our case; he walked us through it, helped at every one of the numerous complex steps, and made it MUCH easier. He got us a very nice settlement, he did it in a timely manner (despite the other side not cooperating at all!), and we could not be happier. This law firm is top notch, first class all the way. I would recommend them to my own mother! Thanks so much guys!!”
– C.H.
