Last updated on April 15, 2025

North Carolina law allows individuals who have been injured due to the negligence of others to seek compensation for their losses. But navigating these legal claims can be challenging, especially when dealing with an accident’s aftermath. That is where a knowledgeable personal injury attorney can make a significant difference.

Our firm has been voted five times in a row as “The Best Law Firm” by local media, reflecting our community trust and success in personal injury law. Having helped over 65,000 clients with their legal needs, our attorneys have the knowledge and resources to assist you with your personal injury claim.

What Types Of Accidents Qualify As Personal Injury Cases?

A personal injury case arises when someone suffers harm due to another person’s negligence. Common cases we handle include:

  • Car accidents: Whether on Highway 24 or Sunset Avenue, crashes often lead to serious injuries.
  • Truck accidents: Large trucks on U.S. Route 701 can cause devastating collisions.
  • Motorcycle accidents: Riders face greater risks on the road.
  • Slips and falls: Hazardous conditions in stores or sidewalks can lead to severe injuries.
  • Workplace injuries: Job-related accidents may qualify for workers’ compensation and personal injury claims.

You may be eligible for financial compensation if you were injured in any of these situations. But not every injury leads to a valid legal claim. Since each type of accident brings unique challenges, it is better to approach it with legal help. Our attorneys carefully evaluate the specifics of your situation to determine if you have a legitimate personal injury case.

Common Injuries After An Accident In Clinton

Serious accidents can leave survivors with life-changing injuries. Some of the most common we have witnessed in our clients’ cases include:

  • Broken bones: This can require surgery and long recovery times.
  • Head injuries: Concussions and traumatic brain injuries can have lasting effects.
  • Spinal cord damage: This may result in paralysis or chronic pain.
  • Burns: Severe burns can lead to disfigurement and extensive medical treatment.
  • Soft tissue injuries: Sprains, strains and ligament damage can limit mobility.

Recovery from these injuries often requires medical care, time off work and, sometimes, a change in lifestyle. All these require deserved compensation. In your situation, our role is to help you through this period, advocating for your recovery and rights.

What Compensation Can You Recover In A Personal Injury Claim?

When filing a claim, you may be entitled to two types of damages:

  • Economic damages: Cover financial losses such as medical bills, lost wages, property damage or rehabilitation costs
  • Noneconomic damages: Compensate for personal suffering, including pain and emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life or permanent disability or scarring.

Remember, every case is unique, and the amount you can recover depends on the details of your accident. Our attorneys can assess your case and apply the appropriate legal strategies to pursue maximum compensation.

Statute Of Limitations For Filing A Personal Injury Claim In North Carolina

In North Carolina, you have a limited window to file a personal injury lawsuit. The statute of limitations for most cases is three years from the accident date. If you miss this deadline, you may lose your right to seek compensation. However, certain exceptions may apply, depending on the circumstances of your case.

Waiting too long can make critical evidence disappear and make it harder to prove your claim. Act swiftly to preserve your ability to gather evidence, ensure witness availability and meet legal deadlines.

After an accident, you might think you have time on your side, but the law is clear. Without the right legal guidance, you risk losing your chance to seek compensation. Our lawyers are ready to act fast to help ensure all your legal rights are protected from day one.
