The Law Offices of John M. McCabe, P.A. is widely recognized for its unwavering advocacy and record of success in representing individuals throughout North Carolina who have been seriously injured or killed by tractor-trailer and bus collisions, construction accidents, animal attacks, and nursing home neglect. With a strong focus on justice and accountability, the firm has earned a reputation for delivering powerful results in high-stakes injury cases.
Founder John M. McCabe is a former President of the North Carolina Advocates for Justice (NCAJ) and currently serves as Chair of the Board of Visitors at Campbell University School of Law. For more than three decades, John and his team have worked not only to secure justice for their clients, but also to reform laws that unfairly limit the rights of injury victims.
John recently led the charge for historic changes to North Carolina’s automobile insurance laws—reforms that significantly increased the state’s minimum liability coverage for the first time in decades and eliminated a longstanding credit that allowed insurance companies to deny the full benefits of purchased coverage. These efforts have improved the ability of accident victims to recover fair compensation and hold insurers accountable.
