Frequently Asked Questions – Wilmington Injury Law Office
1. What should I do immediately after a car accident in Wilmington?
Ensure everyone’s safety, call law enforcement, seek medical attention, and document the scene.
2. How do I choose the right personal injury attorney in Wilmington?
Look for a lawyer with local experience, proven results, and a focus on personal injury law. Our attorneys have been fighting for injury victims across North Carolina for decades.
3. Can I afford to hire an injury lawyer?
Yes. We work on a contingency fee basis, meaning there are no upfront costs — you only pay if we recover compensation for you.
4. What if the other driver fled the accident scene?
You may still be able to recover through your own uninsured motorist coverage. It’s important to speak to an experienced car accident lawyer quickly after a hit-and-run.
5. How long do I have to file a lawsuit after an accident in Wilmington?
In North Carolina, you generally have three years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit, but wrongful death cases have a two-year deadline. Acting early protects your rights.
6. Can I file a workers’ compensation claim if I got hurt at the Wilmington Port?
Yes. If your injury occurred while working at the port or in a maritime capacity, you may qualify for workers’ compensation or other maritime claims. Consult with our Workers’ Compensation Attorneys for advice.
7. What are the warning signs of elder abuse in care facilities?
Signs include unexplained injuries, malnutrition, sudden emotional withdrawal, and poor hygiene.
8. Will my Wilmington case go to court?
Most cases settle before trial, but if necessary, we are prepared to represent you aggressively in court. Preparing for litigation often helps maximize settlement offers as well.

Supporting Injury Victims Across Wilmington and the Cape Fear Region
At Kellum Law Firm, we’re proud to help residents of Wilmington and surrounding communities recover after serious injuries. Each case is unique, but our mission remains the same — to provide experienced, compassionate legal support during life’s most challenging times. Here are a few examples of the types of cases we handle:
Car Accident on Market Street
A local resident was injured in a rear-end collision on Market Street during evening rush hour. The accident initially seemed minor, but within days the client developed significant back and neck pain. We helped document medical treatment, negotiated with the insurance carrier, and ultimately recovered a settlement that covered medical bills, lost income, and future rehabilitation needs.
Workplace Injury at the Port of Wilmington
Another client was injured while unloading cargo at the Port of Wilmington. Initially denied workers’ compensation benefits, the client turned to Kellum Law Firm for help. Our Workers’ Compensation Attorneys fought the denial, appealed the case successfully, and helped the client receive both wage replacement benefits and coverage for long-term physical therapy.
Elder Neglect in a Local Nursing Facility
The family of a Wilmington senior contacted us after noticing signs of neglect and unexplained bruising in a care facility. We conducted a thorough investigation, working closely with state agencies, and filed a civil claim to hold the facility accountable. Families facing similar concerns can learn more through our Elder Abuse Legal Guide.
