North Carolina Auto Injury Law
In North Carolina, the limitation period for personal injury claims is 3 years from the date of injury (N.C. Gen. Stat. § 1-52(16)). Missing this deadline typically bars your claim permanently.
Wrongful death claims must be filed within 2 years under N.C. Gen. Stat. § 1-53(4).
North Carolina follows the contributory negligence rule. If you are found even 1% at fault for your injuries, you are completely barred from recovering any damages. North Carolina is one of only 4 states (plus DC) that still follows this strict doctrine.
North Carolina is a fault (tort) state. You can file a claim directly against the at-fault driver's insurance or sue them in court.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do immediately after a car accident?
Call 911, seek medical attention, document the scene with photos, exchange insurance information, get witness contact details, and call a lawyer before your insurance company.
How long do I have to file a car accident claim?
The statute of limitations varies by state — typically 2-3 years. But evidence degrades quickly, so contact a lawyer within days of the accident.
Should I accept the insurance company's first offer?
Almost never. First offers are typically 2-5x lower than what cases settle for. An attorney can negotiate a fair settlement or take the case to trial.
