PERSONAL
INJURY
If you’ve been in a personal injury incident, call The Olive Law Firm. We offer a FREE initial consultation and will not charge you any fees without recovery.
Our law firm puts your needs first and make a strong point to listen to our clients. Our attorneys have many years of experience in dealing with personal injury cases; we will not make a settlement until you completely understand the intricacies of your case.
WORKERS' COMPENSATION
Workplace injuries are commonplace, and most employers are required to provide workers’ compensation insurance to cover the injured employee’s medical expenses and lost wages. If you suffered a job-related injury, you may be owed significant compensation. The Olive Law Firm can help you pursue your claim.
AUTO ACCIDENTS
Sometimes the full extent of injuries sustained in a motor vehicle accident is not immediately clear, but accidents can have long-lasting effects. We help people recover what they are owed after car, motorcycle, truck, boating, bus and pedestrian accidents involving vehicles.
TRUCK ACCIDENTS
Accidents involving semi-trucks can have devastating results. Whether the truck driver was intoxicated, asleep, inattentive, the truck was overloaded or otherwise unsafe, the personal injury attorneys at The Olive Law Firm can help victims and their families obtain compensation for the accident.
BICYCLE
ACCIDENTS
Accidents involving motor vehicles striking cyclists in North Carolina are all too common, and the results can be devastating. According to Watch For Me NC, vehicles hit more than 960 cyclists every year, and approximately 20 people are killed in vehicle-bicycle collisions every year in the state.
Because bicycles are so much smaller and lighter than motor vehicles, any type of collision is likely to cause serious injuries to the cyclist. Those injuries can result in ongoing medical expenses, disfigurement, and lost wages.
WRONGFUL DEATH
If you have lost a loved one due to someone else’s actions, whether that person operated a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol or drugs, made a defective product, or otherwise caused your loved one’s death through negligent actions, a personal injury attorney at The Olive Law Firm can help you understand your options under the law.
SPINAL & BRAIN INJURIES
Spinal cord injuries or traumatic brain injuries can come with permanent, life-changing results. Whether the injury occurred as the result of a motor vehicle accident, a slip and fall accident, a defective product or machine, or any other reason, you have rights under the law. The Olive Law Firm can help you protect those rights.
SLIP & FALL
Injuries sustained after slipping and falling are very common. They can also be very serious. If you or someone you love was injured because a business owner’s negligence caused you to slip and fall, the property owner or management company might be legally responsible to compensate you for your injuries. The Olive Law Firm can help.
DOG BITES
Dog owners can be held responsible for the actions of their dogs. If you or someone you love was injured because a dog bit, or otherwise attacked you, the attorneys at The Olive Law Firm can help you understand your rights under the law.
PRODUCT
LIABILITY
The Olive Law Firm represents people who have been injured, and the families of those injured or killed, because of unsafe products. Some examples of common product liability cases include those involving household products and appliances, toys, clothing, pesticides, asbestos, mold, machinery, medical devices and more.
POLICE
MISCONDUCT
People who’ve been arrested still have all the same rights they did before the arrest. Unfortunately, all too often the police choose to ignore those rights. Abuse of police power is a serious matter that affects people beyond the victim and his or her family. Without the rule of law, the values that police seek to protect are meaningless. Police brutality, denial of civil rights and other misconduct by police undermines our Constitution.
Police misconduct in North Carolina can, and is criminally prosecuted, but sometimes that’s not possible or not enough. In many cases, victims can also hold the rogue officers accountable through a police misconduct lawsuit as well.
