H. Edward Knox

Eddie had a long history of going the extra mile for his clients. He once traveled to Whiteville, North Carolina to meet a client who had lost her husband in a serious car accident. She and her late husband were driving home from a friend's funeral service when they were struck by a negligent driver. His client had been a beautician and, as a result of her injuries, was no longer able to work. Eddie obtained the policy limits from the adverse insurance company for her and later handled the estate of her husband. For years afterward she continued to call him to say hello and thank him for helping her through a devastating period in her life.

In another matter, Eddie persuaded the Industrial Commission to overturn its decision denying a client's workers' compensation claim for injuries sustained on the job. The client had been driving for work when he was involved in a car accident, and the insurance company denied the claim. After Eddie's argument and his presentation of evidence, which included depositions from several doctors, the Commission agreed to pay the claim.

Eddie also represented a young man seriously injured when a negligent driver collided with his vehicle. The other driver was later convicted of driving while impaired. His client was paralyzed from the waist down and spent several months in hospital, and when he was released his mother became his primary caregiver. He died seven months later. Alongside the original personal injury claim, Eddie obtained accidental death benefits for the mother despite the time that had passed between the accident and her son's death.
