Raleigh personal injury and medical malpractice attorney

If you have been injured in any kind of accident, attorney Jeanne Washburn uses her experience and skill to get you the best possible results. If your injuries were the result of medical malpractice, Jeanne calls in experts in medicine to testify to the proper medical procedures that should have taken place.

What to do if you have been injured

If you have been injured, try to take pictures of the accident scene and your injuries. Many people have cameras on their cell phone, and you can use that to document evidence. Police reports may not capture everything that happened to you. After all, a picture is worth a thousand words.

Stay off of social media and do not talk about your injuries. North Carolina courts have recently ruled that social media entries are discoverable in court. You do not want to have any entries or pictures of you taken out of context and used against you at trial.
