Legal Services Available Through Our Raleigh Office

Kellum Law Firm represents North Carolina clients in several areas of injury and disability law. The services below are among the principal reasons individuals and families contact our Raleigh office.

Car, Truck, and Motorcycle Accidents

Traffic collisions can raise difficult questions about fault, available insurance coverage, the seriousness of an injury, and future medical or financial needs. Commercial truck accidents may also require examination of vehicle records, driver conduct, and other evidence.

Our firm assists with car accident claims, truck accidents, and motorcycle injury cases throughout North Carolina.

Personal Injury and Premises Liability

Injuries involving unsafe property conditions, pedestrian collisions, and other potentially negligent conduct may give rise to personal injury claims. Establishing liability often requires examining what happened, the legal duties involved, and whether the evidence supports a claim.

Workers’ Compensation

Employees injured on the job may face disputes over medical treatment, eligibility for wage benefits, or whether they can safely return to work. Workers’ compensation claims are governed by different procedures from ordinary personal injury lawsuits.

Our workers’ compensation attorneys assist with workplace injury claims and disputes before the North Carolina Industrial Commission.

Wrongful Death

When a fatal accident may have resulted from another party’s negligence or other actionable conduct, surviving family members may have questions about whether a wrongful death claim is available, who may bring it, and what damages may be recoverable.

Our wrongful death practice assists families with these difficult legal matters.

Nursing Home Neglect and Elder Abuse

Families may become concerned about unexplained injuries, falls, pressure sores, or inadequate care in a nursing home or assisted living facility. Whether those circumstances support legal action depends on the applicable duties and available evidence.

Social Security Disability Insurance

Individuals who are unable to work because of a qualifying medical condition may need guidance about Social Security Disability Insurance eligibility, denied applications, or appeals.

Our Social Security Disability Insurance practice assists with SSDI matters. This is a separate federal benefits process from workers’ compensation and personal injury litigation.

What Should You Do After an Accident in Raleigh?

Following an accident, the immediate priority should be appropriate medical attention. Once urgent needs have been addressed, taking a few practical steps can help preserve information that may become important to an insurance claim or potential legal action.

Document the Accident

When possible, retain photographs of the accident scene, vehicle damage, visible injuries, or relevant property conditions. Keep the names of witnesses and copies of any police reports, incident reports, or correspondence relating to the event.

If the accident involved a motor vehicle, a crash report may provide useful information about the drivers, vehicles, and reported circumstances. However, the report may not answer every question about liability.

Keep Medical and Financial Records

Save documentation of medical appointments, treatment recommendations, prescriptions, and work restrictions. Keep records of time missed from work and expenses associated with the injury.

These records may help establish the consequences of an accident, particularly when symptoms continue after the initial treatment or additional care becomes necessary.

Be Careful With Insurance Settlement Decisions

An insurance company may contact you soon after an accident to discuss what happened or propose a settlement. Before accepting an agreement, consider whether you understand the nature of your injuries, the treatment you may need, and the rights that would be released.

North Carolina’s contributory negligence law can also make disputes over fault particularly important. An allegation that you contributed to an accident should be evaluated in light of the evidence and applicable law rather than automatically accepted.

Understand Where Your Claim May Be Handled

Personal injury lawsuits involving accidents in Wake County may proceed through the North Carolina court system, depending on the parties, claims, and applicable jurisdictional and venue rules.

The North Carolina Judicial Branch’s Wake County website provides official information about court locations, procedures, and services.

Other types of claims follow different procedures. Workers’ compensation disputes generally involve the North Carolina Industrial Commission, while Social Security Disability Insurance appeals proceed through the federal benefits system.

If you are unsure how to proceed after an injury, our attorneys can review your circumstances and explain the available options.

Common Injury and Accident Concerns in Raleigh and Wake County

Raleigh combines busy commuter corridors, residential neighborhoods, commercial districts, construction projects, and major employment centers. Different environments can give rise to different types of injuries and legal questions.

Traffic Accidents on Raleigh Roads

Major routes such as I-40, I-440, Capital Boulevard, and Glenwood Avenue carry a mixture of commuter, commercial, and local traffic. Collisions involving passenger vehicles, motorcycles, pedestrians, or commercial trucks may result in disputes about fault and insurance coverage.

When an accident causes a serious injury, preserving evidence and understanding the available insurance policies can become important parts of evaluating a claim.

Workplace Injuries

Raleigh-area employees work in construction, healthcare, transportation, hospitality, technology, and many other industries. Workplace injuries may involve falls, equipment accidents, lifting injuries, or occupational illnesses.

Employees with potentially compensable injuries should understand the applicable reporting and filing requirements. Disputes may also arise concerning medical treatment, wage benefits, and return-to-work restrictions.

Nursing Home Neglect and Elder Abuse

Families with relatives in Raleigh-area nursing homes and assisted living facilities may become concerned about unexplained injuries, falls, pressure sores, or changes in a resident’s condition.

Not every injury establishes neglect. However, documenting concerns, asking questions about care, and obtaining appropriate medical attention can help families understand whether further investigation is needed.
