North Carolina Personal Injury Laws

North Carolina has laws that significantly affect a victim’s ability to recover compensation. Understanding these regulations is critical—and a major reason why working with our North Carolina personal injury lawyer is so important.

Contributory Negligence

North Carolina is one of the few states that follows the pure contributory negligence rule. This means that if an injured person is found even 1% at fault for the accident, they may be barred from recovering compensation. Insurance companies use this strict rule to avoid paying claims—which makes skilled legal representation vital.

Statute of Limitations

Most personal injury cases in NC must be filed within three years of the injury date. Wrongful death claims must be filed within two years. Missing these deadlines can permanently prevent you from pursuing compensation.

Damage Caps

North Carolina does not cap economic or general damages in most personal injury cases. However, medical malpractice cases have a cap for non-economic damages.

Filing a Personal Injury Lawsuit in NC

The claims process can feel overwhelming, especially while you’re trying to recover physically and emotionally. At CR Legal Team, we simplify the legal process so you can focus on healing.

1. Initial Consultation

We assess the details of your case, review evidence, and determine your best course of action—all at no cost.

2. Investigation

Our team gathers critical evidence such as:

  • Police reports
  • Medical records
  • Surveillance footage
  • Photos of the scene
  • Witness statements
  • Expert evaluations

3. Filing the Claim

We submit a claim to the insurance company or responsible party and handle all communication on your behalf.

4. Negotiation

Our attorneys negotiate aggressively to obtain a fair settlement that compensates you fully for your losses.

5. Litigation (if necessary)

If the insurance company refuses to offer a fair amount, we are prepared to file a lawsuit and take the case to trial.

Throughout the process, you’ll receive clear communication and updates every step of the way.

Recovering Compensation

A successful personal injury claim can include compensation for both economic and non-economic damages.

You may be entitled to recover compensation for:

  • Medical expenses
  • Future medical care
  • Lost wages
  • Loss of earning capacity
  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional distress
  • Property damage
  • Loss of enjoyment of life
  • Permanent disability or disfigurement

In wrongful death cases, compensation may also cover funeral expenses, loss of companionship, and loss of the deceased’s income.

FAQs About Personal Injury Lawsuits in NC

What should I do after an accident or injury?

  • Seek immediate medical attention.
  • Report the incident (to police, your employer, property owner, etc.).
  • Document everything: photos, medical records, witness info.
  • Avoid discussing your case on social media.
  • Consult an attorney as soon as possible.

What if the person who injured me doesn’t have insurance?

You may still recover compensation through your uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage if the injury occurred in a vehicle accident. Otherwise, suing the at-fault party personally may be necessary.

How long does a personal injury lawsuit take to resolve?

Timelines vary widely. Some cases settle in a few months; others take years if they go to trial. Factors include case complexity, extent of injuries, and whether fault is contested.

Will my case go to court?

Not necessarily. Many personal injury cases settle out of court through negotiation or mediation. However, if a fair settlement can’t be reached, your attorney may recommend filing a lawsuit and going to trial.

Do I need an attorney to file a personal injury claim?

While not legally required, hiring an attorney is highly recommended. A skilled personal injury lawyer in North Carolina can help navigate complex laws, gather evidence, negotiate with insurers, and improve your chances of a fair settlement.

Whatever you’re up against, our firm is here to make your journey easier. We can work with you to create a personalized legal strategy to secure maximum compensation.
