Statute of Limitations in North Carolina

The statute of limitations dictates the amount of time an individual has to file a lawsuit against the other party involved. In the state of North Carolina, the statute of limitations is three years, according to the North Carolina General Assembly.

This means if you suffered an injury due to someone else’s careless actions, you have three years from the date of your injury to file a lawsuit. While most personal injury cases are able to be settled before filing a lawsuit becomes necessary, it’s important to be aware of the deadlines in the event that a fair settlement cannot be reached and you need to take your case to trial.

Our attorneys know the laws in North Carolina and can make sure you don’t miss your opportunity to receive any compensation you deserve.

How to Prove Negligence

If you believe someone else was responsible for your accident and injuries, you have a legal right to seek compensation for your losses. However, to have a successful personal injury claim, you must be able to prove the other party was at fault.

To prove liability, you must show that the other person acted without care or concern for the safety of others. Additionally, you must prove it was this reckless behavior that directly led to your accident and injuries.

Proving negligence isn’t easy without legal representation. Our North Carolina personal injury lawyers can gather all the necessary documents and evidence needed to build the strongest case possible on your behalf.

Important Tips to Remember

Dealing with a personal injury is stressful and it can be difficult to know how you should proceed. However, it’s important to understand that your actions can either have a positive or negative effect on your claim.

If you were hurt in an accident that wasn’t your fault, keep these important tips in mind to protect your legal rights and any compensation you may be entitled to later on:

Giving a recorded statement or prematurely signing anything from the other party’s insurance company could cause you to receive much less than your case is worth. Even worse, an insurance adjuster may pressure you to sign a form that releases the company from liability entirely, leaving you with nothing. For this reason, it’s in your best interest to avoid speaking with insurance adjusters unless you’ve consulted a lawyer first.

It’s important to keep detailed records and document everything related to your accident. This can include photographs of your injuries, copies of your medical records and treatment expenses, the names of any witnesses, and any other pertinent information regarding your accident. All of these details will be valuable to your case and help you receive the maximum amount of compensation possible.

The most crucial call you can make after being hurt in an accident is to a personal injury law firm. These cases are time-sensitive and waiting to take action can damage your claim. Our attorneys at Lewis & Keller represent individuals in Winston-Salem, Greensboro, High Point, and other surrounding communities in North Carolina. Please don’t hesitate to call us and find out if we can help you get money for your losses.

FAQs

No two cases are the same, so it’s difficult to predict an exact amount that your case is worth without reviewing all of the details. When you call us, our attorneys will evaluate every aspect of your case, including all of your medical bills, property damage, pain and suffering, and more in order to calculate a fair number you may be entitled to.

While an attorney isn’t required, having tough, experienced legal representation increases your chances of receiving a fair settlement. Many injured victims are taken advantage of by the insurance companies and end up with far less than they deserve. With an attorney on your side, you can rest easy knowing your case is being handled by someone who has your best interests in mind.

The length of time it takes to settle personal injury claims will vary, as there are many different variables to consider. However, our office will work quickly and efficiently towards the best resolution possible for your case. Furthermore, we establish an open line of communication so you will always be kept up to date on the progress of your case.

While most personal injury claims are able to be settled outside of the courtroom, your case may need to go to trial if a fair settlement cannot be reached. Going to court can be an intimidating process. If you do need to file a lawsuit and take your case to trial, it will be to your benefit to have an attorney represent you. At Lewis & Keller, our team of tough trial lawyers is fully prepared to fight for your rights in and out of the courtroom.
