Wayne Hardee Law

Driving requires a lot of steps before you are allowed to get behind the wheel. Depending upon what state you are in there may be more than others, but there are often at least the same basic requirements for most states. These include things like driving classes, practice hours behind the wheel, a written and driving test, and a probationary period with certain restrictions. One of the most important things that are needed before you can be let loose on the road, however, is one of the more expensive factors. I am talking, of course, about insurance.

In order to legally drive, you need to have insurance in some form in most states. Some states require you to insure the driver behind the wheel while others have you insure the car itself so that anyone who drives it is covered. Regardless of how your state insurance laws work, it is needed in the event that you are in an accident and either you are hurt, someone else is hurt, or either car is damaged depending upon who is determined to have been at fault in the crash. So what happens when the person at fault doesn't have insurance? If you are in an accident and either party doesn't have insurance, there are a few things that change from how you would normally handle the problem. This becomes more complicated the more damage was done or the more severe your injuries were. You obviously need help both medically and financially, and trying to chase someone down so they can take responsibility isn't easy. This is why insurance companies normally do so, but if they aren't viable for any reason, you need someone else to help you out while you recover. This is why you need to know a good lawyer that you can rely on.

Wayne Hardee has decades of experience with accident cases of all kinds, including those where at least one person involved doesn't have insurance. While it isn't the ideal situation, there are still things that can be done to help you out. If you were injured, you need to know that there is someone on your side. Wayne can be that person. He will work tirelessly to make sure that you get the compensation you deserve so that you can focus on your recovery. Give him a call and see how much of a difference he can make in your case!

When you're driving, there are few things that are more concerning than the possibility of an accident. Even doing as much as you can to keep yourself safe, something can always happen that you don't expect or can't prevent. As frustrating and scary as this is, there is normally no way for you to do much in the way of stopping travel. You need to get to work and get groceries and any other number of activities that generally require a car. When you're driving, however, there is only so much you can do to keep yourself and any passengers you may have safe. One of the things that there is no real way to prevent is an accident caused by someone sideswiping you.

When someone sideswipes you, they brush against your car with theirs along the sides. While this may not be as damaging as smacking into the side of your car head on, it can still definitely cause some serious injuries. It also will almost always cause damage to your car which may go beyond simply cosmetic issues and need to be corrected by a body shop. This naturally gets expensive quickly and can put your car out of commission for a while which impacts the rest of your life as well. Without a car, getting to work can be nearly impossible which means that your income is effected and obviously that can spell disaster. Add an injury on top of that and you can quickly see just how bad these incidents can turn out.

One of the biggest problems with a sideswipe is that they often happen on the highway and someone doesn't stop when they cause one. It can complicate things when you're looking for someone to pay for damages done to both your vehicle and yourself. If you are able to get a license plate, then that's obviously the best case scenario. Unfortunately these incidents often happen so fast that it is almost difficult to do so. This is why a good lawyer can help.

Although a lawyer can't tell you exactly who caused your accident, there are other things that they may be able to do to help you out. Sometimes they can argue with the insurance companies on your behalf, and if you do manage to get a license plate they can help to make sure that the person responsible pays for their damage. Wayne Hardee can do exactly this, so give him a call today!

We spend a large majority of our lives on property that we don't own. Everything from where we work to where we buy our groceries belong to someone else. Some of us even live on property that we don't own. While this doesn't often make too much of a difference in our day to day activities, if an injury occurs, it can quickly become an important factor. There are any number of ways that we can be injured while outside of our own homes and with the amount of time we spend away from our own properties, the odds are it will happen to you at some point. In fact, it happens so much that there is an umbrella term for these types of cases. This term is premise liability.

Premise liability follows the belief system that you are responsible for anyone who is currently on or in something that you own. If someone is hurt on your property, you may be the one who has to pay for the damages that they end up experiencing. While you can't feasibly be held responsible for certain things, such as their shoe catching their pant leg and losing balance, there are any number of things that you can be considered responsible for instead. This generally includes things that you could have fixed or warned people about. If you have ever seen a “Watch Your Step” sign, you've seen a company or person protecting themselves against premise liability. Things like uneven floors can cause injuries and it is important for a property owner to do what they can to make sure everyone knows about the danger.

While issues with the floors in a building or on a sidewalk are common, an injury can be the result of any number of things and they may end up being severe. It is important that you have a good lawyer on your side in case you were injured on someone else's property due to either their negligence or their lack of warning. To help your chances of winning your premise liability case, Wayne Hardee is the first person you should call. He has decades of experience as a lawyer working with premise liability issues right here in North Carolina. These claims can be difficult, but with Wayne on your side you can rest assured that you have one of the best lawyers in the state.
