C. Douglas Maynard, Jr. worked as an insurance adjuster for several years prior to beginning the practice of law representing people against insurance companies. His insider's view of the insurance industry enables him to decipher your policy to determine your rights, to anticipate how your claim will be handled, and to hold insurers accountable for unfair and deceptive claims practices. Mr. Maynard has resolved multiple cases in excess of one million dollars ($1,000,000) including denied life insurance, liquor liability / motor vehicle collision, and workers’ compensation claims.

He is well-respected in the legal community for his knowledge of insurance law and frequently leads seminars on the topic. He practices in litigation and arbitration of personal injury and workers’ compensation claims, as well as handling many insurance coverage disputes, denials, and beneficiary disputes. Doug has argued cases before the Supreme Court of North Carolina and the Court of Appeals. He has filed “friends’ of the court” briefs (amicus) on insurance coverage issues in both courts. Doug is frequently consulted, retained or associated by lawyers throughout North Carolina and the United States on issues related to North Carolina insurance law. He is also editor of one of the definitive legal treatises (book) on uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage in North Carolina. Doug does not represent any insurance company but only people and those seeking insurance coverage or money from insurance companies.

Doug has lived in Winston-Salem for more than 50 years, having moved there when he was just three months old. As the son of a local physician and having handled personal injury and workers’ compensation cases for over 25 years, Doug is very familiar with many of the healthcare providers in the area.
