Frequently Asked Questions
As your attorneys, we will listen to you, advise you and fight for you.
The simple answer is your case is worth, based on the law, facts and risks that apply, what a 12-person jury in North Carolina would award for such a claim. The reason for this answer is that a seasoned personal injury attorney knows that a case can either settle or be presented to a jury. Most cases do in fact settle because both the person injured (plaintiff) and the insurance company representing the individual at fault (defendant) weigh and assess the risk of proceeding forward to a jury trial against the accepted benefit of getting the case resolved voluntarily.
There are many factors that enter into the determination of a personal injury settlement but the primary three (3) are liability, legal damages and insurance coverage.
- Liability relates to negligence or fault of the defendant and (especially in North Carolina) the absence of fault of the plaintiff, as North Carolina is a “contributory negligence” state meaning the plaintiff must be 100% free of fault;
- Legal damages typically include medical expenses, lost wages and pain and suffering;
- Insurance coverage relates to the amount of liability coverage the defendant has for the accident and injuries and also any coverage the plaintiff has such as uninsured or underinsured coverage that may apply.
As to the time it typically takes for a case to settle, most cases will settle after the injured person completes his or her medical care, the medical records and bills are obtained and then exchanged with the opposing insurance company. This can take on average 4-6 weeks after the completion of medical treatment but can vary depending on need for further documentation.

What Our Clients Say About Us
The professional and expeditious manner in which Chris Mauriello and his Associates addressed our collection issues produced positive results each time we have needed his service. I’ve been in the international service business for over 40 years and have not received the level of service Mauriello gave me with anyone else. I would readily recommend their services.
Ricky S.
My experience with Mauriello Law Offices was 100% positive! I would not consider going to any other attorney. I received the entire amount that I was seeking in my settlement, including my attorney fees. Chris Mauriello is a highly skilled attorney who fights hard for his clients!
Erik M., MD
Mauriello Law Offices represented my grandmother when she was injured after a fall. North Carolina is one of only 2 states that still has a loophole in the law that can protect establishments from such cases. In spite of this Chris was able to secure a settlement to help my grandmother with her medical bills. He truly went above and beyond while working with our family. He demonstrated incredible knowledge of the law, took the time to explain it in terms we could understand and always took as much time as needed to answer any questions. He even continued to follow up with my grandmother after the settlement had been reached. He and his amazing team became an extension of our family. They genuinely invest in their clients and fight to get them the possible outcome even in the most unfortunate situations. I honestly don’t know what we would have done without the help of Mauriello Law.

Among over a dozen law firms I contacted for my difficult product-liability case, Mauriello Law Offices was the only one up to the task. They quickly assessed my case and informed me of how things really stood. They did not try to sell me their services by offering empty promises and raising false hopes. They told me what they could do – and they delivered, exceptionally. For those looking for a law firm and wanting straightforward and honest expertise with results to match, call on Chris Mauriello and his team.
