How Can I Be Sure I’m Eligible for Compensation?
To recover compensation from a personal injury, a plaintiff (the victim) must prove the negligence of another (the defendant) is the direct cause of the injury. However, the defendant is only negligent if he or she owes a particular duty to the plaintiff.
Depending on the personal injury claim, proving these things can be very difficult. Evidence such as witnesses, expert testimony, and medical records may be required.
Eligibility for compensation can also be affected by North Carolina’s statutes of limitations.

Can I File My Personal Injury Claim Any Time After My Injury?
Unfortunately, no. Each state has statutes of limitations that dictate the length of time you have to file a personal injury claim. Different claims have different filing time periods.
In North Carolina, for example, personal injury claims must be filed within three years of the date of injury.
If you have a personal injury claim, take it to an experienced personal injury lawyer at the DeMayo Law Offices as soon as possible. During an initial consultation, victims are informed of the amount of time they have to file and how much compensation may be available for recovery.
How Much Is My Personal Injury Claim Worth?
Each personal injury claim is different. Each settlement is based on the injury claim and what losses were endured by the plaintiff.
Settlement dollars are equal to claimed losses and typically include medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

Do I Have to Go to Court for My Personal Injury Claim?
Fortunately, no. In most cases, a settlement can be reached long before a court date is needed. However, accepting a settlement quickly can sometimes leave money on the table.
To reach a comprehensive settlement, it’s best to hire an experienced personal injury lawyer who will handle the claim and work with the defendant to reach the appropriate settlement.
