Statute of Limitations for Construction Accidents in NC
Following an injury, you will likely have a lot on your plate. In North Carolina, it is important that you file your construction accident injury claim in a timely manner. The statute of limitations for injury claims is three years in North Carolina. That means that your claim must be filed within three years of the date of the injury (or two years in wrongful death cases). Negotiations and litigation may take longer, but the initial filing must happen before the two-year statute of limitations runs out.
