How Do Wrongful Death Lawsuits Work In North Carolina?

In North Carolina, the law allows the deceased individual’s estate to file a lawsuit for wrongful death. While we certainly understand that the family needs time to grieve over its loss, it may be necessary to take action during this time in order to prevent a tolling of the one-year statute of limitations to bring a wrongful death claim.

Also, it is important to act before evidence may be lost or discarded, witnesses become unavailable, and to allow a thorough independent investigation of the circumstances around your tragic loss. If action is not taken prior to the applicable statute of limitations, the decedent’s estate will be barred forever from filing a lawsuit for wrongful death.
