North Carolina Personal Injury Laws
Understanding North Carolina’s personal injury laws is essential for successfully navigating your case. Here are some key legal principles to keep in mind:
- Contributory Negligence: North Carolina is one of the few states that follows the pure contributory negligence rule. This means if you are found to be even 1% at fault for your injury, you may be barred from recovering compensation. This strict standard makes it crucial to have an experienced attorney building a strong case on your behalf.
- Statute of Limitations: In most cases, you have three years from the date of your injury to file a personal injury lawsuit in North Carolina. However, deadlines can vary depending on the type of case, so it’s important to act quickly.
- Damages Cap: While most compensatory damages are not capped in North Carolina, non-economic damages in medical malpractice cases are capped at a certain limit (with exceptions).
Our attorneys understand the nuances of North Carolina law and are here to ensure your rights are fully protected throughout your case.
Compensation Available to Injured Victims
If you were injured due to someone else’s negligence, you may be entitled to compensation for a variety of losses. Depending on the specifics of your case, you could recover damages for:
- Medical Expenses (past and future)
- Lost Wages and Loss of Earning Capacity
- Pain and Suffering
- Emotional Distress
- Property Damage
- Permanent Disability or Disfigurement
- Loss of Enjoyment of Life
In cases involving gross negligence or intentional harm, punitive damages may also be awarded to punish the wrongdoer and deter similar behavior in the future.
At CR Legal Team, our goal is to make sure you receive full and fair compensation for the physical, emotional, and financial hardships you've endured.
