Accidents happen — but when they’re caused by someone else’s carelessness, you may be entitled to compensation. Our Durham-based personal injury lawyers have decades of experience helping injured North Carolinians recover medical expenses, lost wages, and more. We’ll stand by your side every step of the way.

Suffered a job-related injury in Durham or nearby? We help injured workers apply for workers’ comp benefits, appeal denials, and fight for full coverage when employers or insurance companies push back. Don’t go it alone — let us help you protect your rights.

Car Accident Lawyer

From fender benders on I-85 to major crashes on city roads, car accidents can leave lasting injuries. Our Durham car accident attorneys help you deal with insurance companies, collect evidence, and pursue the compensation you deserve.

Elder Abuse Lawyer

If you suspect a loved one is being mistreated in a Durham nursing home or care facility, we’ll take immediate steps to intervene. Our firm handles elder abuse cases with urgency and compassion — and we fight hard to hold negligent caregivers accountable.

Motorcycle riders face unique dangers on Durham’s roads. We help bikers injured by distracted drivers or poor road conditions recover compensation and get back on the road — or rebuild after tragedy.

Frequently Asked Questions – Durham Office

1. Do you handle cases filed at the Durham County Courthouse?
Yes. Our attorneys regularly represent clients in both Durham County Superior and District Courts. We’re familiar with local court procedures and have experience working with area judges and clerks.

2. Can I meet with an attorney in person at your Durham office?
Absolutely. While some consultations can be done by phone or video, we welcome in-person appointments at our Durham location. Call ahead to schedule a time that works best for you and we’ll set up your free consultation.

3. How long will it take to resolve my case?
It depends on the type and complexity of your case. Personal injury claims may settle in a few months, while others involving litigation can take longer. We always aim for the fastest resolution without compromising your outcome.

4. What if I was injured at Duke or NCCU — do I have a case?
Yes, potentially. If you were injured due to negligence on a university campus — including slip and falls, campus transit accidents, or other incidents — we can review the facts and help you understand your options.

Legal Resources for Durham Residents

Navigating a legal matter in Durham requires not just legal expertise, but local knowledge. Our attorneys at Kellum Law Firm understand the unique legal environment in Durham County and have years of experience advocating for clients throughout the region.

Our office works closely with the Durham County Courthouse, located in the heart of downtown Durham.
