Understanding of Court Procedures, Protocols, and Local Preferences: Each court system in North Carolina has its own set of procedures, local rules, and preferred ways of doing things. We’re familiar with the court system in Rutherford County, including the judicial philosophies of local judges, insurance adjusters, and the strategies of defense attorneys. This can help with navigating the legal system both efficiently and effectively.
Relationships with Experts: We have established relationships with accident reconstruction experts, medical professionals, and other specialists in the area.
Knowledge of Local Industries: Rutherford County has a mix of industries that contribute to truck traffic. Our personal injury lawyers understand the patterns of local commercial vehicle movement and how this might factor into your case.
