We attempt to serve as many of your legal needs as possible. However, we realize that the profession of law has become so complex that in some instances it is not possible for one attorney or even our entire firm to properly and economically serve all the diversified needs of a particular client. Whenever we cannot adequately serve you with our own resources, we will either obtain the services of another attorney knowledgeable in the area needed to be served as joint counsel or refer you to another attorney or firm so qualified. Of course, your desire in such a situation always governs.
Our particular areas of interest include:

Everyone makes mistakes and mistakes have consequences. In North Carolina, a simple DWI can carry a penalty of up to two years in prison, the loss of your driver’s license, and outrageous insurance premiums. Even a simple speeding ticket can cost you hundreds or even thousands over a period of time in increased insurance premiums. If you have been charged with any traffic offense, we suggest you talk to an experienced attorney in order to know all your options and possible consequences. Oftentimes, we can negotiate a favorable outcome for you without having to go through a trial in Court. However, if no deal can be made we are fully prepared to go to battle at trial for you. At Kelly & West we have over 20 years of experience defending motorists, helping clients keep their drivers license, and preventing increases in insurance premiums.

Workers' Compensation & On the Job Injuries

Worker’s Compensation is a statutory remedy for employees who are injured by accident while in the course of their employment. It is a no-fault remedy where the employee is not required to prove fault to receive benefits and the employer is not allowed to deny liability. All that is required for a Worker’s Compensation claim is an on the job injury, by accident, that arises out of the job and is due to the fact that the worker was carrying on the business of the employer. Worker’s Compensation covers just about any on the job injury or disease. However, Worker’s Compensation will not cover a pre-existing injury unless the injury was aggravated or made worse due to the worker’s employment. Worker’s Compensation provides monetary awards for specific injuries. In addition, you can receive payment of medical bills that are related to your injury and you may be able to collect compensation for your lost wages up to a certain amount. Most employers with three or more employees are required by law to have some form of Worker’s Compensation. Either they must carry Worker’s Compensation insurance or are required to be self-insured. If you have been injured on the job, by accident, while carrying out the business of your employer, you may be entitled to receive compensation for your injuries. An experienced attorney can help you protect your right to receive fair compensation and make sure you have no missed opportunities.
