Someone has injured you, and you are probably scared of how this injury will affect your life. You are probably also angry over the fact that you should never have been injured in the first place. If the negligent person had bothered to be a little more careful, you wouldn’t be dealing with all the negative issues you’re currently faced with.
You have every right to feel this way, and there is a way to get justice for what you’ve been through. Filing an injury claim against the negligent party is the right step, but you may require some help.

Can I file a claim against more than one negligent party?
Yes. Sometimes more than one person contributes to an accident. For instance, a store worker could be responsible for injuring you, but the store can also be held liable for what their worker did. You can sue both the store worker and the store for your damages.
Can I sue a dog owner if their dog injures me?
Yes, you can. In North Carolina, all dog owners are strictly liable for injuries caused by their dogs. If you are bitten or attacked by a dog and are injured, it doesn’t matter whether the owner knew the dog was aggressive or not. You will be able to sue for damages in Charlotte.
What’s the amount of time I’m given in NC to file an injury claim?
In the state of North Carolina, the law grants you three years to file your claim. That three-year time frame starts the day of your injury accident.
Are there limits on how much compensation I can receive in a personal injury case?
Yes, in medical malpractice cases there are damage caps. This means that the jury or insurance company can only award you a certain amount of money for non-economic losses, $500,000 at most. However, other types of injury cases don’t have caps.
What types of damages can I receive if I win my Charlotte injury case?
You can receive compensation for medical bills, lost income, caregiving costs, loss of quality of life, mental suffering, physical pain, and more.
