Fact

You have limited time to file your personal injury claim. There are deadlines on filing claims called “statutes of limitations.” Statutes of limitations vary depending on the type of injury and the state in which the claim is filed. For North Carolina statutes of limitations are as follows:

  • Personal injury - 3 years
  • Most business transactions torts - 3 years
  • Wrongful death - 2 years
  • Libel - 1 year
Fiction

Some people think that a wrongful action (a tort) entitles them to receive a large recovery. However, the tort must be coupled with actual provable loss (called “damages” in the law).  A serious civil wrongdoing can result in little to no harm or damage, in which case there would be no “big bucks” as compensation.
