How Can Our Gastonia Personal Injury Lawyers Help You?
Generally speaking, people owe a duty to protect others from harm. In other words, they must do what a reasonable and prudent person would have done under the same or similar circumstances to protect others from harm.
When a person fails to fulfill this duty, and others suffer injuries as a result, that person is “negligent.” The person may be required, under North Carolina law, to pay compensation for the harm he or she has caused.
At Teddy, Meekins & Talbert, P.L.L.C., our role is to determine whether you or a loved one has suffered injury due to the negligence of another person, company or government agency. If so, we will work diligently to pursue the compensation you deserve.
You can count on us to:
Investigate Your Case
We will gather and examine all evidence that bears on your case, including accident scene photos, eyewitness statements and medical records. We know how to track down important information for
our clients.
Consult With Experts
Personal injury cases often require input from knowledgeable experts in accident reconstruction, workplace safety and other areas. Doctors and other experts can also shed light on the care and treatment you will need for your injuries.
File Your Claim
We can file a claim with the at-fault party’s insurance company. If necessary, we can also file a lawsuit in the proper Superior Court and make sure your case is carefully and skillfully litigated.

We know the major impact that these injuries can have on your life and the lives of those around you. Our goal will be to seek compensation for all of your losses, including:
- Past and future medical expenses

We may also pursue two other types of damages in your personal injury claim:
Punitive Damages
Unlike other types of damages, these damages are not aimed at compensating you for your losses. Instead, they are aimed at punishing the at-fault party, deterring the party and others from engaging in this conduct in the future or making an example of the party.
Loss Of Consortium
This category of damages is based on harm to the marital relationship that is caused by another person’s negligence. These damages can be claimed by either you or your spouse if you can show a loss or disruption of services, society, affection, companionship or sexual relations in your marriage. For instance, these damages can be claimed if you can no longer mow your lawn or look after your kids, and help has to be hired now to perform these services.
