About Brian Elston Law

Brian Elston Law operates out of 80 Central Ave in Asheville, North Carolina, and brings a three-area practice to clients dealing with some of the most stressful legal situations a person can face: getting hurt, getting wronged at work, or both at the same time. By covering personal injury, workers' compensation, and employment law under one roof, the firm gives clients in western North Carolina a place to turn whether their problem started with an accident on the job, a car crash, or a workplace dispute that escalated into termination or discrimination. Asheville has grown considerably in recent years, with a diverse economy that includes healthcare, tourism, manufacturing, and a growing professional services sector. Workers and residents in this environment face a correspondingly wide range of legal issues. Brian Elston Law is positioned to address the intersection of those issues, particularly when a workplace injury leads to disputes over benefits and later becomes an employment matter involving retaliation or termination. Having an attorney familiar with all three of these practice areas can be an advantage when your situation does not fit neatly into one category.

How They Can Help

Brian Elston Law helps clients pursue compensation through personal injury claims involving car accidents, premises liability, and other negligence situations throughout the Asheville area. The workers' compensation practice covers initial filings, disputes with employers or insurers, and appeals before the North Carolina Industrial Commission. The employment law component adds representation for workers facing discrimination, harassment, retaliation, or wrongful termination, areas that can sometimes arise directly from a workplace injury or workers' compensation claim. The firm approaches each case by identifying all available legal avenues and building a strategy that addresses the full scope of the client's situation.
