North Carolina’s personal injury laws confuse most people. McMinn, Fradin, Gray & Logan help make sense of it through easy-to-understand counsel for every client.
Negligence is the foundation of most personal injury cases in our state. It means someone failed to act with reasonable care, which caused harm to another person.
For example, when a driver runs a red light and hits your car, he or she is most likely negligent. The motorist had a duty to follow traffic laws but breached that duty and caused your injuries. In such cases, the negligent driver must pay for your damages.
Time is always of the essence in personal injury cases. N.C. Gen. Stat. § 1-52 sets a three-year deadline for claimants to file their injury actions.
This clock starts ticking from your injury date. You could lose your right to seek compensation if you miss this deadline.
There are exceptions to this rule, such as cases involving minors or certain medical malpractice situations. But it’s always best to act quickly and consult with McMinn, Fradin, Gray & Logan as soon as possible after an injury.
Our state follows the pure contributory negligence rules found in the North Carolina Supreme Court’s rulings from SMITH V. FIBER CONTROLS CORP. (1980). This standard means that if a jury finds you even 1% at fault for your injuries, it could bar you from recovering compensation. It’s a harsh rule, and it’s one reason why having a McMinn, Fradin, Gray & Logan on your side is important.
