Frequently Asked Questions

What is the statute of limitations for personal injury in North Carolina?

North Carolina gives injury victims three years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. Wrongful death claims must be filed within two years. Acting promptly is important because evidence and witness recollections fade over time.

Does North Carolina use contributory negligence?

Yes — North Carolina is one of only a few states with a pure contributory negligence rule. If an injured person is found even 1% at fault for an accident, they may be completely barred from recovery. This makes having an experienced attorney who can counter fault arguments critically important.

What compensation can I recover after a car accident in Charlotte?

Injured victims may recover medical expenses (past and future), lost wages, reduced earning capacity, pain and suffering, and property damage. In cases involving drunk or reckless drivers, punitive damages may also be available under North Carolina law.
