Edwards Kirby, LLP - Personal Injury Lawyers

Edwards Kirby, LLP is a personal injury law firm based in North Carolina with offices in Raleigh and Charlotte. They help people who have gone through life-changing injuries or the loss of a loved one. Their goal is simple: help regular people get justice when someone else’s actions have caused serious harm.

The firm is led by John Edwards and David Kirby, both highly experienced lawyers known for their success in major injury and wrongful death cases. They’ve been helping people for decades, and they only take on serious cases where they believe they can make a real difference.

They don’t handle hundreds of cases at once. They give each one the attention it deserves. That means more focus, more time, and stronger results.

What Kinds of Cases Do They Take?

Edwards Kirby focuses on high-impact personal injury and wrongful death cases. These are usually complex and involve serious injuries or even the loss of life. They have experience handling:

• Catastrophic injuries

• Traumatic brain injuries

• Spinal cord injuries

• Wrongful death

• Medical malpractice

• Birth injuries

• Trucking and car accidents

• Nursing home neglect

• Dangerous products and defective medical devices

• Premises liability (injuries on someone else’s property)

They often help when other law firms say, “This case is too tough.” If it’s serious and it matters to you, it matters to them.

Catastrophic Injury Cases with Long-Term Impact

If you’ve suffered a catastrophic injury, your life may never go back to the way it was. These kinds of injuries change everything—how you live, how you work, how you connect with others.

Edwards Kirby helps people who have gone through:

• Paralysis from a spinal cord injury

• Amputations due to trauma or medical mistakes

• Severe burns from explosions or fires

• Blindness or hearing loss

• Chronic pain or permanent disability

These cases need careful attention. They’re not just about what happened today—they’re about what you’ll need for the rest of your life.

Wrongful Death Lawsuits Handled with Care

When a loved one passes away because of someone else’s mistake, it’s not just sad—it’s devastating. The law allows families to file a wrongful death claim to recover damages and seek justice.

Edwards Kirby handles wrongful death claims tied to:

• Fatal car or truck crashes

• Unsafe medical care

• Defective products

• Workplace accidents

• Nursing home negligence

They help families recover costs for funeral expenses, lost wages, and the pain of losing someone too soon. They also make sure the people or companies responsible are held accountable.

Medical Malpractice: When Doctors Get It Wrong

Doctors are supposed to help us heal. But when they make serious mistakes, the results can be dangerous—even deadly. Medical malpractice happens when a healthcare provider fails to meet basic standards of care.

Edwards Kirby handles medical cases like:

• Surgical errors

• Birth injuries

• Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis

• Medication mistakes

• Anesthesia errors

• Hospital infections

These are hard cases to prove, but the firm works with medical experts to show exactly what went wrong—and how it could have been avoided.

Birth Injuries and Delivery Errors

Childbirth should be a joyful experience. But sometimes, mistakes in the delivery room lead to injuries that can last a lifetime.

The firm helps families dealing with:

• Cerebral palsy

• Lack of oxygen during birth

• Brachial plexus injuries (nerve damage in the arm)

• Delayed C-section decisions

• Failure to monitor the baby or mother

These cases are heartbreaking, but the firm works hard to get families the support they need—both financially and emotionally.

Helping Victims of Trucking and Commercial Vehicle Accidents

Accidents involving large trucks are more dangerous than regular car crashes. These vehicles weigh thousands of pounds and often cause life-altering injuries when they collide with smaller cars.

Edwards Kirby handles truck crash cases caused by:

• Tired drivers

• Overloaded trailers

• Poor truck maintenance

• Drug or alcohol use

• Speeding or reckless driving

They dig deep to find the truth, including reviewing trucking logs, safety records, and video footage when available. Then, they use that evidence to fight for full compensation.

Serious Car Accident Claims

Even a "small" car accident can cause serious injuries. And insurance companies don’t always treat victims fairly. Edwards Kirby steps in to level the playing field.

They help with:

• Neck and back injuries

• Concussions and brain trauma

• Broken bones

• Internal injuries

• Wrongful death from fatal crashes

They handle everything—calling the insurance companies, collecting medical records, and making sure you don’t get short-changed.

Nursing Home Neglect and Abuse Cases

When a loved one lives in a nursing home, we expect them to be safe and well cared for. Sadly, not all facilities do their job. Edwards Kirby helps families when a parent or grandparent is harmed by:

• Falls

• Bedsores

• Malnutrition

• Physical or emotional abuse

• Medication mistakes

• Lack of supervision

They help families take legal action and make sure the nursing home is held responsible.

Dangerous Products and Medical Devices

When companies put out unsafe products, real people suffer. From recalled medications to defective implants, product liability cases can be extremely serious.

Edwards Kirby works with clients hurt by:

• Faulty heart devices

• Unsafe drugs

• Defective car parts

• Contaminated consumer products

• Toys or tools that caused injury

They go after the manufacturers, distributors, and any other party responsible for putting dangerous items on the market.

Brain and Spinal Cord Injury Cases

Brain and spinal cord injuries may not always be visible, but they can change someone’s entire life. People often need therapy, medication, and long-term care.

This firm helps people dealing with:

• Memory loss

• Loss of mobility

• Mood and personality changes

• Difficulty speaking or understanding

• Ongoing pain

They work with neurologists, rehab centers, and family members to understand the full impact—and then build a case that reflects those challenges.

Premises Liability and Unsafe Property

Property owners have a duty to keep their spaces safe. If they don’t, and someone gets hurt, they can be held responsible.

Edwards Kirby helps people who were injured due to:

• Slippery floors with no warning

• Unsafe stairwells

• Poor lighting

• Lack of security in public areas

• Structural failures (like collapsing decks or railings)

They help you prove the property owner knew about the danger—or should have—and failed to fix it.
