North Carolina Personal Injury Laws

North Carolina follows a fault-based (or “at-fault”) system when it comes to personal injury laws related to car accidents. In a fault-based system, the party responsible for causing the accident is typically held liable for the resulting injuries and damages.

To win a personal injury lawsuit in North Carolina, you must prove the following elements:

  1. Duty of Care: You must demonstrate that the defendant owed you a duty of care. This duty of care varies depending on the circumstances of the case. For example, in a car accident case, all drivers owe a duty of care to operate their vehicles safely and obey traffic laws.
  2. Breach of Duty: You must show that the defendant breached their duty of care. This means proving that the defendant failed to act as a reasonably prudent person would under similar circumstances. For instance, if the defendant was speeding, driving recklessly, or engaging in negligent behavior, they may be found to have breached their duty of care.
  3. Causation: You must establish a direct causal link between the defendant’s breach of duty and your injuries. In other words, you must prove that the defendant’s actions or negligence directly led to your injuries. This can sometimes be a complex aspect of a personal injury case, particularly in cases with pre-existing injuries or multiple contributing factors.
  4. Damages: To succeed in a personal injury lawsuit, you must demonstrate that you suffered actual damages as a result of the defendant’s actions. These damages can include medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and other losses related to the injury.
 

Keep in mind, North Carolina follows a legal doctrine known as “contributory negligence,” which is a strict and potentially harsh rule in personal injury cases. Contributory negligence is a defense that can be raised by the defendant (the at-fault party) in a personal injury lawsuit. Under this doctrine, if the injured party (the plaintiff) is found to have contributed in any way to the accident or their injuries, even if their contribution is minimal, they can be barred from recovering any compensation for their injuries and damages. In other words, if the plaintiff is found to be even 1% at fault for the accident, they can be completely denied compensation.

Personal Injury Compensation in Your Case

An unexpected injury or the tragic loss of a loved one can have an immense, life-altering impact on victims and surviving family members in the Piedmont Triad. At Lanier Law Group, P.A., we understand that you are likely facing new challenges, not least of which involves the financial burden of paying medical bills and making up for lost wages. If your injuries or the death of your loved one were caused by another person or party’s negligence, you have the right to seek fair and reasonable compensation for your damages.

Depending on the various unique circumstances involved in your case, these damages may include:

  • Pain and suffering
  • Disability and/or disfigurement
