Serving Chapel Hill with Local Experience and Relentless Advocacy
Chapel Hill had 61,960 residents at the 2020 Census, and between UNC students, riders on the fare-free Chapel Hill Transit system, and daily commuters, its streets are busy with people on foot, on bikes, and behind the wheel. Serious injuries here are often treated at UNC Hospitals, a Level I Trauma Center and North Carolina’s designated burn center, and Orange County civil cases are heard at the courthouse on East Margaret Lane in Hillsborough. Whether you’re a student, resident, or commuter, you’ll get honest advice, clear communication, and legal strategies designed around your goals.
Our Personal Injury Legal Services in Chapel Hill
Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcyclists face a higher risk of serious injury on roads like NC 54 and US 15-501, 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, a student rental, or a 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 and paved greenways like the Bolin Creek Trail are a great benefit, but they come with risks wherever riders meet traffic. 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 on I-40 and US 15-501 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 (US 15-501), 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.
