Questions like “How many fatal motorcycle accidents occur in the North Carolina each year”, “What are the leading causes of motorcycle accidents?” and “What should I do after being involved in a motorcycle accident?”.

Questions About Asheville Personal Injury Law

Lakota R. Denton is an Asheville Personal Injury Attorney who can help you with any questions you might have related to personal injury law, personal injury settlements and everything else related to personal injury cases in North Carolina.

What is Personal Injury Law?

Personal injury law refers to the legal remedies and defenses involved in civil lawsuits brought as a result of wrongful conduct. In fact, the word “tort” comes from a Latin term meaning twist, wrong, or harm.

In contrast to criminal law, a tort action does not involve the government prosecuting the wrongdoer.

Rather, these legal cases involve a private plaintiff seeking compensation (usually cash) for the harm caused by the defendant’s actions.

I was referred to Lakota after being involved in a multiple vehicle car accident. Lakota and Jenny were both great to work with, they both were very caring and offered the best advice for my situation. Before speaking with them I was confused about the whole process and what was supposed to happen, Lakota went over each step of the process with me and made sure all of my questions were answered and I understood before I left. I left their office much more confident than I was when I walked in. They are wonderful to work with and I will not hesitate to call them in the future if needed.

Him and Jenny both have a caring and gentle spirit which was greatly appreciated during a stressful lawsuit. Thank you both so much for everything.

In an accident? Need Help? This is your turn-key, set-it-and-forget-it solution! Lakota and Jenny are two of the best friends you will meet in Asheville! If anything can go sideways, be atypical or oddball... it seems like it will happen to me. True to form, several legal obstacles cropped up... even though I was not at fault in the accident. Jenny takes ownership of your problems. Like a dog with a bone, they will relentlessly work to resolve issues in your favor. Lakota and Jenny make you feel like family, as if you are their primary concern. PS: Lakota: Jenny deserves a raise!

I was a passenger in a car that was involved in an accident. The EMS had to transport me to the hospital where I went through many exams and tests. I had Mr. Denton handle my case, and he did a superb job on handling all that was involved in settling the case. I would never have been able to do all that was required had I not sought out Mr. Denton's help. He knew how to handle it all proficiently, and he settled the case to my satisfaction. You can trust this attorney to do the work for you, and you will be quite satisfied with the results. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking all the stress/frustration off my shoulders and doing such a great job!!

Just want to say that Lakota Denton and his staff are incredible. I left his office feeling like I was just adopted into his family. Very informative and easy to understand, I have a total understanding of how he handles cases from the short talk I had with him. I would recommend Lakota and his staff to anyone injured in an accident. If I could give 20 stars it would not be enough. Very happy with this Lawyer.

Tj Stephens

Absolutely the best attorney in the area, long story short I was involved in a motorcycle accident where the individual at fault had very little insurance and my property damage and personal injury costs were substantial. Lakota was extremely professional and genuinely helped in every way he could. Very good at communication, he kept me informed the entire time going on 7 months. Without him this mess could have been a catastrophe. I rate him 5 stars because that's the highest I could rate, he and his staff deserve an even better rating than that. I highly recommend him!
