Injured in Winston-Salem?

Tell us what happened and where. We are not a law firm and this is not legal advice; naming your city here is not a claim that we can connect you with an attorney in it.

What do we actually know about Winston-Salem?

Two public records. The Census Bureau estimates Winston-Salem has about 257,271 residents. The federal crash census (NHTSA FARS) counts 210 fatal crashes in Forsyth County from 2020 to 2024, the most in 2021 (45). Those are county-wide counts, not Winston-Salem alone. Neither figure says an attorney is available here, and neither indicates what any particular case is worth.

When and where did those crashes happen?

  • 89 of the 210 fatal crashes (42%) happened after dark.

  • 3 of the 210 fatal crashes (1%) began with a cyclist being struck.

NHTSA FARS — Fatality Analysis Reporting System, 2020–2024, across Forsyth County. "After dark" is the crash report's light condition; "rural" is the road's classification, not the city's; a cyclist is counted only when being struck was the first harmful event. Source

These are public figures about the area, published by the agencies named beside them. They describe roads and populations, not claims, and none of them says anything about what any particular case is worth.
