Common Cases of Personal Injury We Handle
Belmont has seen many personal injury accidents. Busy intersections, like the one at Acme Road and Woodlawn Street, can be particularly dangerous for drivers. Beautiful Stowe Park could be host to a dangerous dog attack if an animal owner is negligent. At Bridgman Gantt Law Offices, we can represent you through any kind of personal injury case, including:
- Car accidents. In 2023, the county of Gaston, where Belmont sits, saw 31 traffic-related fatalities. The ten-year average currently sits at 28 per year. While this might not seem like an extremely high number, accidents still happen in the area every day. These incidents typically occur due to distracted driving, drunk driving, speeding, or dangerous road or weather conditions.
- Truck accidents. Commercial trucks are an integral part of both our state and national economy. However, due to their size and mass, they can cause devastating injuries and even death when involved in an accident. Common causes of these accidents include overloaded cargo or fatigued driving.
- Motorcycle accidents. Belmont is a popular area for motorcyclists, thanks to its proximity to Charlotte. However, these vehicles offer less protection to their drivers than a car or truck. When they are involved in an accident, the cyclist can suffer horrific injuries, like broken bones, road rash, spinal cord injuries, brain damage, and even death.
- Premises liability. When you enter property belonging to another party and suffer an injury there due to a dangerous condition, you could hold the property owner negligent. Common premises liability accidents include drownings, slip and fall accidents, dog or other animal attacks, or instances of negligent security.
- Workplace injuries. In North Carolina, you cannot file a claim against your employer for a personal injury, as their workers’ compensation insurance will likely cover your damages. However, if your injury was caused by a negligent third party, such as a subcontractor or the manufacturer of a defective piece of machinery, you could hold them liable in addition to a workers’ compensation claim.
- Product liability. When a product is marked safe and placed on the market but then causes injury, the injured party could seek compensation. Common products involved in a product liability claim include children’s toys, appliances, electronics, car parts, food and beverages, furniture, and infant items, like highchairs or cribs.
- Pedestrian accidents. Accidents involving pedestrians or bicyclists are on the rise across North Carolina. Distracted or reckless drivers might not realize they are sharing the roadways with these individuals, so they could hit someone in a crosswalk or if they veer onto the shoulder or sidewalk.
FAQs
How Much Money Can I Get From a Personal Injury Claim?
The amount of money you can be awarded in a personal injury claim will ultimately depend on the nature and severity of your injury and how it was caused. In most personal injury cases, people can expect to recover some kind of compensation for related medical costs. In 2022, an estimated $1.28 billion was spent on injury-related medical costs around the United States.
What Should I Do After Suffering an Injury in Belmont?
In Belmont, if you suffer a personal injury accident, you could take certain actions that may prove helpful. These can include:
- Moving yourself to a place of safety
- Calling both the police and emergency medical services
- Documenting both the scene and your injuries through photographs and videos

What Are the Characteristics of a Catastrophic Injury?
Suffering a catastrophic injury can have several devastating impacts. These injuries are unique and can cause disabling and permanent injuries, such as the partial or complete loss of cognitive functionality, vision or hearing loss, or severe damage to the spinal cord. While the victim may heal after a while, the damage they sustain will likely cause them to never fully recover.
Can I File a Personal Injury Claim in a Drunk Driving Accident?
Yes, you can likely file a personal injury claim following a drunk driving accident. Every day, 32 people are killed in the United States by drunk drivers. When these accidents occur, certain family members, like a spouse or parent, can file for wrongful death damages. If you were injured, you could recover medical costs, lost wages, and even punitive damages.
