How can I be sure I’m eligible for compensation?

To recover compensation, you must prove that another party’s negligence directly caused your injury. This often requires evidence such as medical records, witness statements, and expert testimony. Eligibility may also depend on state laws like statutes of limitations.

Can I file my personal injury claim any time after my injury?

No. Each state has a statute of limitations that limits how long you have to file a claim. In North Carolina, personal injury claims generally must be filed within three years of the injury date.

How much is my personal injury claim worth?

Every case is different. The value of a claim typically depends on damages such as medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

Do I have to go to court for my personal injury claim?

Not usually. Most personal injury cases are settled before going to court, although some may proceed to trial if a fair settlement cannot be reached.

Do I need a personal injury lawyer?

Hiring a lawyer can help you navigate complex legal processes, deal with insurance companies, and potentially secure higher compensation while you focus on recovery.

How much does a personal injury lawyer cost?

Many personal injury lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing upfront and only pay if your case is successful.

Stephanie Lenoir

I appreciate DeMayo Law Firm especially Pamela Braswell who checked on me for over a year while they worked on my case which was difficult and complicated. She made sure that my health was important and that alone makes a client mental status stays at a good level. Thank you so much. You help me to stay grounded and to be patience by keeping me updated through it all even when it wasn't looking good. Thank to you all, DeMayo and team for working hard for me! The end results worked out.

Lori Parker

Really enjoyed working with these folks. Everyone that we had the pleasure of speaking with was very professional. They took the time to explain to us every step that they would be doing on our behalf. Very pleased with our Experience working with them. Would highly recommend.

Amelya Staiano

Everyone was incredibly helpful and kind, walking me through every step along the way and ensuring I had all the resources necessary to receive my top offer from the at fault party. Lindsey and all the other staff that were assisting in my case were easy to get in touch with and really tried to make it a simple, understandable process on my end. If I (God forbid) ever end up in a similar situation again, I will definitely be returning to request the help of the law offices of Michael A. DeMayo.

Steven Putnam

I was impressed with the expertise of Michael A. DeMayo's team. They handled my case with professionalism and achieved an outstanding result. They were always available to answer my questions and concerns while putting me at ease through the entire legal process. Their negotiating skills were exceptional. The team was even able to settle the case out of court with a positive result.

Brownsuga

The Lawyers at Michael DeMayo's office have been really great! They checked in with me weekly throughout the case to make sure I was well. I am satisfied with their services and would definitely recommend them and I hope I don't need them again but IF I do I will give them another call. No complaints at all! 100% satisfied with the turnout!

DeMayo Cares: In service to the law, you, and our community

Whether you are new to North Carolina or you were born and raised here, it’s worthwhile to get to know some of the area’s reputable charities and impactful programs that support our state’s most vulnerable people, including:

Second Harvest Food Bank
Humane Society of Charlotte
Charlotte Family Housing
Arts & Science Council

The annual DeMayo Law Offices food drive to benefit Second Harvest Food Bank

The overall objective is to collect the most food for the Second Harvest Food Bank which provides food for the homeless and families in need right here in Charlotte. There is a tremendous level of competition and gamesmanship, and it is always very entertaining to see which team can outdo the others. The winning team is rewarded for its efforts and wins an exclusive dinner with Michael A. DeMayo.

Michael A. DeMayo Arrive Alive® Program

Arrive Alive ® is one of our firm’s signature community service programs developed to show teens the tragedies resulting from underage drinking and driving. Held in conjunction with our scholarship program, Arrive Alive ® has been presented nearly 100 times to more than 50 different high schools since its inception in 2003.

Arrive Alive ® is targeted at high school juniors and seniors who continuously face the decision of underage drinking and driving. Often the opportunity is more prevalent during celebrations such as spring break, prom, and graduation. Unfortunately, our office deals with alcohol-related accidents on almost a daily basis. It is our goal to prevent even one tragic accident from occurring with our program.
