What I handle for Kure Beach clients
Where I can help Kure Beach clients get what they deserve
Kure Beach and Fort Fisher injuries lean toward serious US-421 crashes and vacation-rental premises — the fact patterns are similar to Carolina Beach, but the volume is lower and the stakes are usually higher. I take these cases from anywhere in Kure Beach and drive or meet remotely, whichever works for your recovery.
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.
Kure Beach case work
Kure Beach injuries are lower in volume but higher in stakes.
South Pleasure Island — Kure Beach and Fort Fisher — has fewer crashes than the bigger beach towns to the north, but the ones that happen are often serious. US-421 south of Snows Cut is a two-lane road with limited shoulder, and head-on and wrong-way crashes there produce the worst injuries I see out of New Hanover County. On the beach, the injury pattern is rental-house decks, pier walkway boards, and beach-access stair hazards at high tide.
The trauma center is Novant Regional in Wilmington. Fort Fisher and Ocean Front Park emergencies are usually stabilized there within the hour after 911 is called. I have met clients in ICU there and worked the case from evidence preservation forward — surveillance, EMS run reports, rental-operator maintenance records — before insurers had a chance to close ranks.
The consultation is free. If I take the case, no fee unless I win. If I don't take it, I will tell you why and where to look next.

From clients across eastern North Carolina
What clients say about working with me on their case.
“After calling around to a few lawyers, Rob responded swiftly. He gave me courteous service and was very realistic about all aspects of the case. I have referred several people to him.”
“He delivered honest and informed communication before I even decided to retain him. He is straightforward, supportive, kind, and focused. If communication, attentiveness, and experience are what you are searching for, you will find them with Robert!”
“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.”

Kure Beach questions
The questions clients most often ask about Kure Beach cases, from venue and drive time to who handles the meeting and how coverage works.
Frequently asked questions
Is a head-on crash on US-421 south of Snows Cut different from any other crash?
The injuries are usually worse and the shoulder is narrower, so first-responder access is slower. That means EMS run reports, the North Carolina Highway Patrol reconstruction, and any dashcam or surveillance from nearby homes matter more than in an urban wreck. I preserve those from the first week when the case warrants it.
I was hurt on a Kure Beach pier or beach access — who is liable?
It depends on ownership. Public accesses have short procedural notice requirements to the town or the state. Private accesses attached to a rental or an HOA are premises cases against the possessor. The first thing I do is find out who owns the boards you fell on.
Can you meet me in Kure Beach?
Yes. I have driven down for consultations when the injury made travel impossible. It is a 30-minute drive, and I would rather see the property than take a description over the phone.
