General deadline for injury lawsuits in North Carolina

Discovery rule may extend this deadline
For defective product injuries
For vehicle and property damage claims
Discovery rule may extend deadline for medical malpractice. North Carolina has a 4-year statute of repose for medical malpractice and a 12-year statute of repose for product liability.
North Carolina is one of only 4 states (plus DC) that follows contributory negligence. If you are even 1% at fault for the accident, you may be completely barred from recovering any damages. This makes legal representation critical — the insurance company will look for any way to attribute fault to you.
Some states limit the amount of damages you can recover in personal injury cases. Understanding these caps is crucial for setting realistic expectations.
No general cap for personal injury
3x compensatory damages or $250,000, whichever is greater
$600,000+ for non-economic damages in medical malpractice (adjusted periodically)
North Carolina caps punitive damages and medical malpractice non-economic damages, but has no general cap on personal injury non-economic damages. The contributory negligence rule is the biggest hurdle for plaintiffs.
