The Statute of Limitations After a Car Wreck Can Be Difficult to Interpret
All civil cases have a state-imposed statute of limitations that determines how much time you have to file your lawsuit.
- In North Carolina, you generally have three years to file a personal injury lawsuit, per G.S. § 1-52, and two years to file your wrongful death lawsuit, per G.S. § 1-53.
- In South Carolina, you generally have three years to file your personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit, per S.C. Ann § 15-3-530.
However, it can be more complicated than you think to comply with the filing deadline since various factors can cause it to change. Thus, the best way to ensure you meet the statute of limitations is to let our car accident attorney handle this mandatory part of your case. We will file your lawsuit on time and help you avoid the potentially costly consequences of missing the deadline.
Common Causes of Car Wrecks
Car wrecks can have a wide variety of causes. Proving the cause of your collision is crucial to establishing the at-fault driver’s negligence. The primary reason for most car wrecks is driver error, which can include the following:
- Distracted driving
- Driving under the influence
- Driver fatigue
- Ignoring traffic signs and signals
Additional causes of car wrecks can include road and weather conditions, vehicle defects, or defective parts. Our car accident team will prove the cause of your accident and hold the at-fault driver or other entity liable for your post-accident expenses and losses.
How Our Car Accident Lawyer Proves the Cause of Your Wreck
Your accident only qualifies for compensation if you show how negligence caused the wreck. Thus, our car accident lawyer will collect evidence that proves the following elements of negligence:
- Duty of care: The responsibility to drive safely.
- Breach of duty: The action or behavior that puts your safety in danger.
- Causation: Proof the accident would not have occurred without the negligent act.
- Damages: Establishing the accident’s resulting monetary impact.
Let us handle the process of proving these legal elements for you. At Farmer & Morris Law, PLLC, we take care of everything else so you can take care of yourself.
