The statute of limitations dictates the amount of time an individual has to file a lawsuit against the other party involved in their accident. In North Carolina, the statute of limitations varies between two and three years, according to the North Carolina General Assembly.
In other words, if you were injured due to someone else’s negligence, you have three years from the date of your injury to file a lawsuit. While most personal injury cases are able to be settled before filing a lawsuit becomes necessary, it’s important to keep the statute of limitations in mind in the event that a fair settlement is unable to be reached and you need to take your case to court. If you fail to file before the statute of limitations, your chances of receiving any compensation are little to none.
