Pursuing compensation for injuries caused by negligence or wrongful conduct.
If you've been injured due to someone else's negligence — whether in a car accident, slip and fall, or other incident — you may be entitled to compensation for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages. North Carolina's contributory negligence rule makes these cases particularly challenging, making experienced representation essential.
Our litigation team investigates thoroughly, works with medical and accident reconstruction experts, and fights insurance companies that try to undervalue your claim.
North Carolina is one of only a few states that follows the contributory negligence doctrine. If you are found even 1% at fault for your injuries, you may be barred from recovery entirely. This makes it critical to have an attorney who can establish that the defendant was solely responsible for your injuries.
The statute of limitations for most personal injury claims in North Carolina is 3 years from the date of injury. Wrongful death claims must be filed within 2 years. Missing these deadlines bars your claim permanently.
