It’s important to act quickly to get legal help after suffering a personal injury in a North Carolina accident. For one thing, important evidence can disappear with time and eyewitnesses’ memories can fade. Also, North Carolina sets deadlines for filing a personal injury claim. Known as a “statute of limitations,” the time limit for filing a personal injury claim in North Carolina is generally three years from the date of the accident. Some exceptions may apply, so you should talk to the lawyers at Younce, Vtipil, Baznik & Banks, P.A., even if you think too much time may have passed.
