About Speaks Law Firm

Speaks Law Firm occupies Suite 310 at 300 N 3rd St in downtown Wilmington, giving the firm a central location that is accessible to clients from across New Hanover County and the surrounding area. The firm concentrates its practice on workers compensation and personal injury law, two areas that frequently intersect when a person is hurt at work through circumstances involving outside parties or unsafe conditions. For injured workers and accident victims, the period immediately following an injury can be disorienting, with medical appointments, employer pressure, and insurance company communications all arriving at once. Speaks Law Firm aims to take the legal burden off clients during that time, stepping in to handle the claims process while clients focus on their recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where is Speaks Law Firm located and is it easy to get to?

What types of workplace injuries does Speaks Law Firm handle?
The firm handles a broad range of workplace injury cases, including falls, equipment accidents, repetitive motion injuries, and incidents involving third-party contractors or property owners.
How does North Carolina determine workers compensation benefits?
Benefits in North Carolina are generally based on your average weekly wage, the severity of your injury, and whether the injury results in temporary or permanent disability. An attorney can help calculate what you may be entitled to receive.
Can I choose my own doctor for a workers compensation injury in North Carolina?
In North Carolina, your employer or their insurer generally has the right to direct your medical care initially. There are exceptions and procedures to request a change of physician, and an attorney can advise you on those options.
What if I was partially at fault for my personal injury accident in North Carolina?
North Carolina follows a contributory negligence rule, which means that if you are found to share any fault for an accident, you may be barred from recovering compensation. This makes it especially important to have an attorney evaluate your case carefully.
How does Speaks Law Firm charge for its services?
Personal injury and workers compensation attorneys typically work on a contingency fee basis, meaning legal fees are only collected if the case results in a recovery. Reach out to Speaks Law Firm directly to discuss their specific fee structure.
