Statute of Limitations for Injury Claims in North Carolina

North Carolina law allows only Three Years to file a personal injury claim. This deadline is critical to your rights because if you don’t get your lawsuit started in court before North Carolina’s three-year filing window closes, you’ll lose your right to have your case heard. Call our offices today to avoid missing your window of opportunity.

Types & Causes of Slip, Trip, and Fall Accidents

Many different factors can cause a public facility to be a dangerous place for its visitors, ultimately causing a Slip, Trip, or Fall injury. The factors include:

  • Too much wax or polish
  • Poor lighting
  • Torn, worn, or broken, bulging areas of carpet
  • Unstable stacks of merchandise
  • Unrepaired damaged flooring or uneven floor
  • Substances on the floor, such as spills from containers
  • Lack of warning signs in the appropriate places throughout the store

Victims should be aware that in North Carolina if the victim is at any fault for causing their own accident, they have no payment rights. This is called “contributory negligence.” Insurance companies will try to use this against you, so call our office to craft the best possible defense for your case.

What to do if you’ve been injured in an accident:

  1. Report your accident to the appropriate authorities ASAP. Whether this is the police, an employer, a store employee, or a supervisor. Get medical treatment for any injuries you have sustained, don’t “shake it off.” Some injuries, like traumatic brain injuries or internal injuries, can have delayed symptoms. The sooner you can receive medical attention, the better for your health and your case.
  2. Collect as much information as possible. Either you or someone you trust should attempt to get information from any involved parties. Important information can be the names of all parties involved and any eyewitnesses. If you were in a car crash, get the other driver’s insurance information too.
  3. Take photographs. Photograph the scene, your injuries, the causing factors of the accident, and anything you think may be relevant. If you were injured on someone’s property due to a dangerous condition, take photos of the dangerous condition.
  4. Get copies of all relevant documents. This can include police reports, incident reports, medical documents, and communications with insurance companies.

The more information you have about your case, the stronger your claim will be. If you were injured due to another’s carelessness, contact one of our experienced North Carolina Personal Injury lawyers to learn more about filing a claim.
