Your Recovery is Our Concern
If you have been injured or lost a loved one as a result of the negligence of another, you are entitled to receive compensation for the damages caused by that negligent conduct. These claims are often referred to as “personal injury claims.” Many attorneys want to get involved in the field of personal injury. It can often be confusing trying to wade through the billboards, phone book advertisements and letters received from attorneys immediately after an accident. When selecting an attorney, careful attention must be paid to one important factor – experience. That’s where we come in. James Van Camp, Michael Newman and Thomas Van Camp have handed thousands of personal injury claims, many of which have resulted in trial.
Our team has handled hundreds of personal injury trials over the years, and are some of the most experienced litigators in the area. This is important, because your case may not settle and you may be required to go to the courthouse to pursue your claim. If a trial is necessary, you need seasoned litigators on your side. Our philosophy is simple – achieve the best result for our client. This requires knowledge of the facts and law surrounding your case, the willingness to fight for a fair resolution, and the capability and experience to take your case to trial if the insurance company is unwilling to offer you a fair settlement.
Our philosophy in personal injury cases is one of total dedication to the well being of our client. To us that means making sure that proper medical treatment is provided. It means coordinating with forensic and medical experts. It means regularly talking to people to see how they're doing, to see if they need anything and to keep them informed about the status of the case.
We are committed to doing these things because we understand that "recovery" from a serious personal injury or the wrongful death of a loved one is about a lot more than just "compensation."

Difference-Making Results
We are always willing to invest in a good case. To us, that means hiring forensic experts, using technology, reviewing medical records, conducting a thorough investigation and doing whatever it takes to build a successful case. The insurance adjusters and opposing counsel know us and our reputation, and they know how compelling our presentations to judges and juries can be.
Our effectiveness is evidenced by the number of seven-figure settlements we've obtained, including North Carolina's largest in 2003.
A key reason for the success we've had can be traced to our preference for getting involved in cases early on. And while this work is generally not glamorous — we believe it often means the difference between a satisfactory settlement and no settlement at all.
