Pure contributory negligence

North Carolina is one of the few states retaining pure contributory negligence — even 1% of fault on your part can completely bar recovery. Last-clear-chance exceptions are narrow. Skilled representation is critical.

Maximum recovery

Non-economic damages in medical malpractice capped under N.C.G.S. § 90-21.19. No general cap in standard cases.

Pre-suit notice

State Tort Claims Act claims filed with the Industrial Commission within three years.

N.C.G.S. § 1-52
