The statute of limitations: North Carolina lawsuit deadline attorneys
Filing a lawsuit does not mean that your case will go to trial. The vast majority of personal injury cases are settled out of court. However, there is a statute of limitations on claims, which varies by state and by the type of case. It is necessary to file a formal lawsuit if your case is not settled by the deadline; otherwise your legal standing to recover monetary damages could expire. Filing the lawsuit not only preserves your rights to a jury trial but often brings the defendant and the insurance company to the negotiating table.
In North Carolina, the statute of limitations is typically three years for a personal injury claim and two years for wrongful death, but there are many exceptions. It is common that a permanent injury is not diagnosed or the causal connection of a loved one's death is not discovered until well after the original event.
We can act swiftly if you are up against the statute of limitations. We take all the steps to secure your compensation no matter how much time has passed, and we help with all the immediate concerns associated with your injuries and insurance claims.
