Hurt In A Fayetteville Car Accident? Our Attorneys Are Here To Help.

Last updated on September 8, 2026

At Hardee, Massey & Blodgett, LLP, our auto accident attorneys serve clients across North Carolina who have been seriously injured by another driver’s negligence. While crashes can happen anywhere, they are not evenly distributed. One of the hot spots statewide is Fayetteville.

If you were hurt in a Fayetteville area car accident or lost someone you love, our lawyers are ready to help you seek full and fair compensation. They have more than 60 years of combined legal experience and take a team approach to many cases. These are just some of the many reasons why our firm has become a trusted resource for the injured throughout North Carolina.

Most Dangerous Places To Drive In Fayetteville

According to a study of fatal car accidents between 2018 and 2020, Cumberland County had the fourth-highest fatal crash rate statewide. However, that same study found that the deadliest stretch of road in North Carolina is located in Fayetteville.

The unfortunate distinction goes to a nearly five-mile stretch of Cliffdale Road, specifically the section that runs between Beverly Drive and Lansdowne Road. During the three years studied, that section of Cliffdale saw 10 car accidents, resulting in 11 deaths.

It should come as no surprise that Interstate 95 is also identified as one of the most dangerous roads in or running through Fayetteville, due to its high speeds and high volume of traffic. There are about 24 car accident deaths per year on the stretch of I-95 that runs through North Carolina.

Many Car Accidents Are Caused By Driver Negligence

Most auto accidents are not “accidents” in the strictest sense. They are both foreseeable and preventable. In recent years, the three top causes or contributing factors in fatal car accidents were:

• Drunk driving (23%)
• Speeding (25%)
• Texting and distracted driving (7%)

Those numbers reflect only fatal accidents. The number of drivers injured by drunk driving, speeding and distracted driving is likely many times higher. When our attorneys investigate crashes, we look for evidence of these and other dangerous behaviors. Our goal is to prove that the other – and only the other driver – was at fault for the crash.

Why Choose Our Fayetteville Auto Accident Lawyers?

When you hire a law firm after a crash, you should know who will actually be handling your file. At Hardee, Massey & Blodgett, LLP, your case is not handed off to a paralegal. Our Fayetteville car accident attorneys work with you directly, from the first phone call through the final settlement or verdict.

Our attorneys round-table cases as a team, so every client has the full group thinking through their claim. They handle their own litigation rather than referring cases out, and they are prepared to carry a claim through the appellate courts when an insurance company will not deal fairly.

They are also negotiators who take time to learn how an injury has changed your daily life, because those details are what give a demand its weight. Highlighting your personal experience strengthens the foundation of your claim and advocates for the full compensation you need.

When Will I Get A Settlement For My Fayetteville Car Crash Claim?

This is one of the first questions people ask, and it is a fair question when medical bills are already arriving. Most car accident claims resolve in about a year. Claims involving minor injuries often settle within three to six months, while claims involving serious injuries can take two or three years and occasionally longer. Several things drive that timeline:

• Medical treatment: Your claim should not settle until your doctors understand the full extent of your injuries. Settling early can leave you paying out of pocket for treatment you did not know you would need.
• Liability disputes: North Carolina’s contributory negligence rule gives insurers a reason to argue that you share part of the blame. Untangling that takes investigation, and investigation takes time.
• Available coverage: When your damages exceed the at-fault driver’s policy limits, your Fayetteville car accident lawyer may need to look at other sources of insurance coverage as well. That adds steps to the claim.

No one can hand you a date at the beginning of a case. Once our attorneys have documented your injuries and losses in full, they can give you a realistic picture of the timeline and keep you updated as your claim moves.
