Get Free Case ReviewNorth Carolina Car Accident Laws
Understanding North Carolina's unique car accident laws is crucial for your case. Our state follows the contributory negligence doctrine, one of only a few states with this strict standard. This means that even minimal fault can bar recovery, making skilled legal representation essential.
Insurance Requirements in NC
North Carolina requires minimum liability coverage of 30/60/25 ($30,000 bodily injury per person, $60,000 per accident, $25,000 property damage). Many drivers only carry minimum coverage, which may not fully compensate serious injuries. We explore all available insurance policies and compensation sources to maximize your recovery.
Common Car Accident Injuries We Handle
- • Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- • Spinal cord injuries & paralysis
- • Whiplash & neck injuries
- • Back injuries & herniated discs
- • Broken bones & fractures
- • Internal organ damage
- • Burn injuries
- • Soft tissue injuries
- • PTSD & psychological trauma
- • Wrongful death
Each injury requires different medical treatment and documentation. We work with medical experts to ensure your injuries are properly documented and valued for maximum compensation.
Why Time Matters
Evidence disappears quickly after an accident. Skid marks fade, witnesses forget details, and surveillance footage gets deleted. The sooner you contact us, the better we can preserve crucial evidence and build a strong case for maximum compensation.
