What can I do if I am unable to afford an attorney for my catastrophic injury case?

If you are unable to afford an attorney for your catastrophic injury case in North Carolina, there are options available to you. One option is to contact a free legal aid clinic in your area and inquire whether they can help you with your case. These clinics often have attorneys willing to provide pro bono (free) legal services to those in need. You can also contact the North Carolina Bar Association to see if they have a lawyer referral program. The program connects individuals in need of legal help with attorneys who are willing to provide free consultations. In addition, you may be able to find a lawyer who will take your case on a contingency basis. This means that the attorney only gets paid if you win your case. Be sure to fully understand and agree to the terms of any contingent fee agreement before signing it. Finally, if you are unable to afford an attorney and have a valid catastrophic injury claim, you may be able to represent yourself in court. Keep in mind, however, that the complexities of the legal system can be daunting, and you may be at a disadvantage if you lack the knowledge and experience necessary to navigate the courts. No matter which option you choose, it is important to remember that if you have a valid catastrophic injury claim, you have legal rights, and there are resources available to help you access those rights.
