Legal Question in Personal Injury in North Carolina
Time stipulation for injury claims
To Make a claim for an injury is there a 3 year time limit? Or, can one make some kind of claim after that. Of course, I have much documentation. I did try to notify this party once by certified mail, but he never responded.
Thanks

Re: Time stipulation for injury claims
As a general matter in North Carolina, claims for negligence or for breach of contract have a three year statute of limitation. You need to be very careful, however, about the exact nature of your claim, and there are several exceptions. If you are ind doubt, you should contact a lawyer. Once the statute of limitations has run, you claim is probably barred, regardless of the merits of the action, and regardless of whether the other person has received something (other than a complaint and summons) by certified mail.
