Thomas York, founding attorney of NC Injury Law, PLLC, is marking 34 years of North Carolina personal injury practice, a milestone that traces to his admission to the North Carolina Bar in 1992 and the establishment of his Wilmington practice in 1996. Across more than three decades representing accident victims throughout New Hanover County and North Carolina, York and the firm report recovering more than $50 million in settlements and verdicts for injured clients over the course of his career.
According to the firm, that reported recovery figure reflects the cumulative total of settlements and verdicts obtained since the practice was established in 1996, spanning matters that include car accidents, truck accidents, motorcycle crashes, pedestrian accidents, rideshare collisions, slip and fall cases, traumatic brain injuries, and wrongful death claims in the Wilmington market and statewide. In connection with the milestone, the firm noted that it continues to offer free consultations for area injury victims seeking to understand whether a personal injury claim exists.
The timing of legal advice can carry particular significance under North Carolina law. The state is one of a small number that apply a contributory negligence standard, under which an injury victim found even one percent at fault may be barred from recovering damages. The firm points to that rule as a reason accident victims often seek legal guidance before providing statements to insurance adjusters.
"Many accident victims in Wilmington are uncertain whether they have a viable claim, and some give statements to insurance adjusters before they understand how the law applies to their situation," said Thomas York, Founding Attorney at NC Injury Law. "Thirty-four years of work in New Hanover County courts and insurance negotiations provides familiarity with the adjusters, defense firms, and carriers that operate in this region. That local context is the practical value an early consultation with a local attorney can provide."
The firm attributes ongoing demand for injury representation in part to growth in the Cape Fear region. Wilmington and New Hanover County have been cited in U.S. Census Bureau population estimates among the faster-growing areas of North Carolina, and the firm says increased traffic on primary corridors such as Oleander Drive, Eastwood Road, and the Market Street commercial zone extending from Ogden to Porters Neck has accompanied that growth. Additional context on the practice is available through the Thomas York NC Injury Law Firm website.
To serve the region's diverse communities, the firm provides bilingual English and Spanish legal representation, including for New Hanover County's Spanish-speaking population. The firm handles matters on a contingency fee basis, under which clients are not charged upfront fees.
