What I handle for Jacksonville clients
Where I can help Jacksonville clients get what they deserve
Many Jacksonville injury cases arise along US-17, Western Boulevard, Lejeune Boulevard, and the Camp Lejeune gate corridors. I handle commuter, commercial vehicle, and civilian military-family cases throughout Jacksonville, with in-person or remote consultations available.
Car accidents
Adjuster lowballs, quick offers, and the contributory-negligence defense.
Motorcycle accidents
UM / UIM stacking when the at-fault driver has insufficient coverage.
Truck & commercial vehicle
Multi-defendant, FMCSA-regulated cases other firms struggle to investigate.
Premises liability
Slip-and-fall, Airbnb, vacation rental, deck collapse, nursing home falls.
Brain injury
TBI, concussion, and brain bleed, where long-term impact drives case value.
Wrongful death
Claims brought by the estate under NC's 2-year statute of limitations.
Jacksonville case work
Jacksonville case work is dominated by US-17 and Lejeune-corridor crashes, with military-family civilian cases mixed in.
Jacksonville sits on US-17 with three major east-west arteries including Western Boulevard, Lejeune Boulevard, and Piney Green Road. The crash pattern is heavy commuter volume, tight traffic-light cycles, and shift-change surges at the Camp Lejeune main gate. Rear-enders and merge crashes dominate. Delivery-truck and commercial-vehicle collisions on Western Boulevard show up regularly.
For military-family civilian cases I coordinate with base counsel when needed, and I work around deployment schedules for depositions and mediation. Onslow Memorial is the initial trauma stop; serious cases transfer south to Novant Regional in Wilmington or north to ECU Health in Greenville, and both transfers become important documentation. Onslow County Superior Court sits at 625 Court Street in downtown Jacksonville. I appear there when the case files in Onslow venue.
Consultation is free. I have driven to Jacksonville for client meetings and I offer secure video when travel does not work. No fee unless I win.

From clients across eastern North Carolina
What clients say about working with me on their case.
“Mr. Armstrong is the best! Not only is he a good attorney, he truly cares about the health of his clients. He is very easy to get in touch with and has no problem answering any questions you may have. He did a wonderful job with my case.”
“First time I had ever had a settlement in a car accident. I am very pleased with not only the settlement, but also the professionalism and honest support from Mr. Armstrong, along with his legal assistant Stephanie who could answer almost any question.”
“We were both seriously injured in an automobile accident in North Carolina on our way home to New York. During our long recoveries and afterwards, he was in frequent contact with us to keep us posted on the progress of our cases. He addressed all our questions and concerns with clear explanations. We would highly recommend the law firm of Robert L. Armstrong.”

Jacksonville questions
The questions clients most often ask about Jacksonville cases, from venue and drive time to who handles the meeting and how coverage works.
Frequently asked questions
The crash was during Camp Lejeune shift change — is that different?
Gate-corridor and shift-change traffic patterns can create fact-heavy cases: multi-vehicle chain reactions, following distances, and traffic-light timing. I pull crash-scene surveillance, traffic-camera footage where it exists, and I look at the reconstruction with the specific corridor timing in mind.
Do you handle cases against the federal government?
Pure Federal Tort Claims Act cases against the government (on-base incidents, VA medical care) go to federal-practice counsel. Civilian-side cases where a military family is the injured party — off-base crashes, retail premises, rental injuries — are cases I take in North Carolina state court.
Do I have to drive to Wilmington for meetings?
No. I offer secure video conferencing and I drive to Jacksonville for meetings when the case warrants it. Most Jacksonville clients I meet by video for the initial consultation and in person as the case develops.
