Our Personal Injury Legal Services in Chapel Hill
Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcyclists face a higher risk of serious injury, and too often, they’re wrongly blamed for crashes. We understand the unique dangers bikers face and the biases they’re up against. If you or a loved one was injured in a motorcycle crash, we’ll build a strong case backed by evidence and expert testimony. Our goal is to protect your rights, your health, and your financial future.
Slip and Fall Accidents
A fall on someone else’s property, whether at a local business, rental property, or public space—can result in serious injuries. If the hazard was preventable, you may be entitled to compensation. Our team investigates to determine whether property owners failed to fix or warn about unsafe conditions. We’ll fight for what you’re owed
Bicycle Accidents
Chapel Hill’s bike-friendly roads are a great benefit—but they come with risks when drivers don’t share the road. We advocate for injured cyclists, holding reckless drivers and their insurers accountable. Whether you were doored by a parked car or hit in a bike lane, we’re here to help you pursue recovery and justice
Wrongful Death
When someone you love dies due to another party’s negligence, the loss is both emotional and financial. At RHD Legal, we stand with families in Chapel Hill during their most difficult times. We’ll pursue justice in the form of wrongful death claims, which may include damages for funeral expenses, lost companionship, and long-term financial support.
Trucking Accidents
Commercial truck accidents can lead to devastating injuries due to the size and weight of vehicles involved. We hold trucking companies, negligent drivers, and their insurers accountable for unsafe practices, including driver fatigue, overloaded trailers, and regulatory violations. Let RHD Legal handle the investigation while you focus on healing.
Car Accidents
if you’ve been injured in a car accident on Fordham Boulevard, I-40, or a neighborhood street, our attorneys are ready to help. Car accident claims can quickly become complicated when insurance companies try to downplay injuries or shift blame. We handle both simple and complex claims, including rideshare accidents, uninsured drivers, and multi-vehicle crashes.
