How Our Attorneys Will Help
Our Team has the clout to handle your case and recover the compensation you are owed. Some of the actions our premises liability attorneys in Raleigh can perform to help with your claim include:
- Offer legal advice to help you make informed decisions and avoid common errors, such as taking an early settlement that’s far less than what your case is worth.
- Gather evidence, interview witnesses, examine incident reports, and investigate the scene to find out who is liable for your injury.
- Assess your hardships, such as medical bills, lost income, pain and suffering, and future care needs, to determine what your claim is truly worth and seek maximum compensation.
- Prepare all legal documents, submit your claim on time, and handle communication with insurers so you can focus your energy on your recovery.
- Attempt to negotiate for a fair settlement that fully covers all of your damages, both present and future, before taking your case to court.
- File a civil lawsuit and fight for your rights before a judge and jury to seek full compensation if insurers are unwilling to reach a meaningful settlement.
What Is Premises Liability in Raleigh?
Premises liability is the legal responsibility a property owner has when someone gets hurt on their property due to unsafe conditions. This applies to private homes, businesses, and public spaces.
The law in North Carolina focuses on whether the owner acted reasonably and whether you had a legal reason to be on the property. Some examples of cases our Raleigh premises liability lawyers can handle include:
- You slip and fall on a freshly mopped grocery store floor with no warning signs.
- A loose shelf in a warehouse store collapses, and a heavy item falls on you.
- You fall because of poorly lit stairs at your apartment complex.
- You’re assaulted in a hotel parking lot with a history of crime, but no cameras or security patrol.
- A neighbor’s unrestrained dog bites you while you’re legally walking past their yard.
- A faulty electrical system causes a fire in a rental unit where you’re living, resulting in burns.

What Is the Statute of Limitations for Premises Liability in North Carolina?
In most cases, under N.C. Gen. Stat. § 1‑52(5), you have three years from the date your injury becomes apparent (or should have been apparent) to file suit. For cases involving wrongful death, the time limit is two years from the date of death.
These time limits are strict, and missing them can harm your legal Standing. It’s important to speak with Our Team early to protect your rights.
