The Negligent Driver Could Place the Blame on You
The negligent party is responsible for paying your compensation by a percentage for which they are at fault. Under North Carolina General Statutes, this rule falls under contributory negligent
This can deny recovery to any claimant alleged to be even 1% responsible for the resulting injuries. When it comes to proving liability, it can be incredibly beneficial to have Wake County car accident lawyer on your side. With their experience, they can help you build a case that does not allow an insurance company to pin an unfair share of blame on you.
North Carolina Imposes Time Limits on Car Accident Injury Claims
North Carolina General Statutes is the state’s statute of limitations for personal injury cases. It imposes a time limit to file a claim. In most cases, you have up to three years from the date of your injury, although other limitations and exceptions may apply.
Not filing a claim within this time limit will likely lead to a denial of benefits or a civil case dismissal. Therefore, it is essential to know which statute of limitations applies to your case.
Even if you do not think your case will result in a civil suit, it is extremely important that you take steps to ensure you remain within these limitations to not risk your ability to pursue compensation..
Do not take chances by waiting too long. Contact Tien Law Firm today to discuss your situation.
