The “big yellow house on the corner” of Elizabeth Avenue has been a landmark of Charlotte injury law for nearly 50 years.

Editorial Verdict

Why Choose Price, Petho?

Few injury firms in the Carolinas have the institutional memory of Price, Petho. Founded in 1979, this is one of the rare Charlotte practices that has tried injury and workers' compensation cases through every economic cycle, every major rule change at the NC Industrial Commission, and every shift in jury attitude in Mecklenburg County. Larry Price and Doug Petho are the kind of attorneys other lawyers call when they need a hard case won. If you've been hurt at work or in a serious accident — especially if a carrier has already denied your claim — this is the kind of firm that can turn it around.

What You'll Pay

Personal injury and workers' compensation cases are handled on a contingency-fee basis. There is no upfront cost — the firm's fee is a percentage of the recovery, and you pay nothing if there is no recovery. NC Industrial Commission rules cap workers' compensation attorney fees at 25% of unpaid weekly benefits and disputed amounts.

Client Experiences

What Clients Say

Client
Marcus T.
Workers' Comp · Construction
★★★★★
“My back injury claim got denied twice before I called Price, Petho. Doug picked up the phone himself, walked me through it, and got my benefits restored within months. They handled the IME and the carrier's lawyers without me having to lift a finger.”
Client
Brenda H.
Wrongful Death · Charlotte
★★★★★
“After we lost my husband in a workplace accident, no one would tell us what our rights were. Larry Price and his team took our case immediately and treated my family like real people. I will never forget what they did for us.”
Client
Devon R.
Car Accident · Mecklenburg
★★★★★
“The other driver's insurance tried to blame me, citing NC contributory negligence. Price, Petho lined up the police report, the witnesses, and an accident reconstructionist. Settlement covered all my surgeries and lost wages.”
