What Happened

The other two drivers involved were taken to the CMC-Pineville by ambulance.

The North Carolina Personal Injury Lawyers’ Perspective
This accident is an unfortunate loss of life and a clear picture of how deadly a head-on collision can be, the fact that the other drivers survived is astonishing. The surviving victims of this accident should seek the services of a North Carolina (NC) personal injury lawyer despite the death of that at-fault driver. It is very likely the insurance company will try to downplay their injuries compared to the death of the young woman. In spite of her death the victims have the right to file a personal injury claim to recover compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. A North Carolina (NC) personal injury lawyer will better serve the victims for a fair and adequate compensation for their injuries.
