About Duplin County
Duplin County sits in Eastern North Carolina and is anchored by Kenansville and Warsaw with daily traffic along NC‑11, NC‑24/50, US‑117, and I‑40. Agriculture, food processing, schools, and health care drive the local economy. Congestion spikes around schools, festivals, and weekend travel, increasing the risk of collisions on rural two‑lane roads with limited lighting. Residents rely on regional hospitals and clinics serving Wallace, Beulaville, and nearby towns.
Because so much of the county is rural, crashes can involve higher speeds, commercial trucks, farm equipment, or limited visibility. If you were hurt anywhere in Duplin County, a local firm that knows the courts, insurers, and medical networks can move quickly to secure evidence and protect your claim. We offer free consultations and can meet in Kenansville or Warsaw, or start by phone at (910) 293-3124.
