The fact is, you may not. As an attorney who believes in complete honesty, Lakota routinely advises injured people he meets with that they don’t need a lawyer if this is his honest assessment. If you have a small and straightforward case that has been accepted by insurance companies, he may counsel you about how to handle your claim yourself.
Our Asheville personal injury attorney never charges a fee for these consultations. However, if your case involves serious injury and is more complex, the team at our personal injury law firm will ensure you’re treated fairly and respectfully by insurance companies. Lakota will work to prove fault and get you fair compensation. Do you want to talk about your case? Call for a free consultation today.
To prove fault, Lakota will thoroughly investigate all the evidence of the accident. For example, if you were injured in a motor vehicle crash, these are some of the things he’ll do:
It’s important to keep in mind that in North Carolina you only have to prove that the accident was “more likely than not” the other person’s fault – in other words, that there is a 51% or higher likelihood that the other person caused the accident (CPR §1-139). In contrast to criminal cases, in personal injury cases it’s not necessary to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. By strategically examining all the evidence, attorney Lakota Denton can successfully establish fault and obtain compensation for you. As an experienced personal injury lawyer, he’ll do that through negotiations with insurers or in a jury trial.
How much you might get depends on all the facts of your case, including how badly you were injured. Compensation pays for the losses or “damages” you’ve experienced because of your accident. North Carolina law allows personal injury recovery for medical bills, lost wages, future lost income, pain and suffering, which includes physical pain and emotional trauma, and punitive damages when the behavior of at-fault parties is particularly bad. Asheville’s personal injury lawyer Lakota Denton will work diligently to make sure that you get fair compensation that covers all of your losses. Our law firm will analyze your medical bills and records and how your injuries have affected your overall quality of life and well-being. Then our personal injury lawyer will assertively negotiate with the at-fault party’s insurance company. If you’re not satisfied with the insurance company’s offer, Lakota will advise you about your options for taking your case to court.
No—don’t speak to the at-fault party’s insurance adjuster. Insurance adjusters have only the interests of their companies in mind. And the interests of insurance companies is to save money. They will likely look for ways to avoid paying you for your injuries and your medical bills. If you speak to an insurance adjuster before consulting with our Asheville personal injury lawyer, it can harm your case. It may make it very hard to recover reasonable compensation for your injuries. Any comments made to an adjuster may be used against you in settling your personal injury claim or at trial in a lawsuit. If you’re contacted by an insurance adjuster for the at-fault party, refer them to our personal injury attorney Lakota Denton.
You only have to pay attorney fees if we recover compensation in your case. Once attorney Lakota Denton obtains an insurance settlement or jury award for you, he will receive a previously agreed-upon percentage of the personal injury settlement or award amount. If he doesn’t recover compensation for you, you don’t owe him anything. Additionally, Lakota provides free consultations to help injured people learn about their legal options. You don’t have to pay him anything to meet and find out whether you have a case that needs a personal injury attorney. Once we meet, you are under no obligation to hire him for your case.

I’m leaving a 5-star review for Lakota Denton and his excellent team because of their utmost care and compassion. I came to them drowning in the turbid waters of despondent lawyers and sketchy doctors, and they put me on a plan to physical recovery, while they recovered my case.
