Our PRactices
trucking
We know the industry, and the industry knows us. With valuable relationships and a team of experts in multiple areas such as accident reconstruction, truck safety, and human factors, Frankel Rainey stands ready to help our clients navigate some of the most devastating times of their lives.
catastophic injury & wrongful death
Catastrophic injury and wrongful death claims are unique and complex. This is particularly true in North Carolina where principles of contributory negligence are often argued by insurance companies and defense attorneys to place responsibility for the accident on the injured party. We have more than 30 years of experience litigating these claims. Frankel Rainey understands the importance of evidence preservation from the time of injury going forward and how to use available evidence to build the most powerful story in support of our client’s claim. We also understand where many defendants and insurance companies fall short in their duty to preserve evidence and how to use that information to assist our clients and their claims. Expert testimony is often critical in these cases. We have relationships with liability experts in fields such as engineering, crash reconstruction, human factors, and biomechanics.
We also work with experts who address complex damages issues, including medical doctors, surgeons, life care planners, economists, and vocational rehabilitation experts. We litigate these cases across the state, and we bring our collective experience from hundreds of such cases to bear on behalf of every client we represent.
eminent domain & condemnation
Property rights are fundamental to the freedoms we enjoy. When government entities, such as transportation departments, or private corporations, like energy companies, attempt to take property rights from North Carolinians, we work with dedication and tenacity to ensure that our clients receive what they are constitutionally guaranteed: due process of law and just compensation for the property rights taken from them. We have years of experience representing owners of property—commercial, industrial, agricultural, and residential—who find themselves fighting for fair treatment and just compensation when principles of eminent domain and condemnation are used to take their property. We work with a team of highly qualified professionals, including appraisers, engineers, and other experts to ensure that every facet of the case is properly investigated, evaluated, and presented so that our clients receive every measure of damages to which they are entitled.
Eminent Domain and Condemnation is a unique and complex area of law, and the notion of fighting the government can be daunting. Our attorneys know where to look and leave no stone unturned in these cases. Our years of experience help us to simplify this complex area of law as we fight for our clients’ constitutional rights to just compensation.
