Doug Maynard worked with several other North Carolina-based and Georgia-based attorneys to secure a $10,000,000 settlement for the estates of the decedents.

While some choose to handle their own personal injury claims to save on legal fees, many often benefit from hiring a personal injury lawyer. From understanding the law to having additional experts and resources on their side, a personal injury lawyer can make a big difference in your stress and the compensation you receive for your injuries. 

The case had an interesting procedural twist from the typical personal injury claim as the Maynard Law client was a Third-Party Defendant. The initial insurance claim was denied, but through litigation, we were able to secure a $250,000 settlement.
