Slip and fall accidents happen every day across Raleigh and Wake County — on poorly maintained commercial properties along New Bern Avenue and South Wilmington Street in East and South Raleigh, in grocery stores and restaurants throughout the county, in crumbling apartment complex parking lots, and in inadequately maintained public spaces. Property owners have a duty to maintain safe conditions. When they fail that duty, people get hurt. North Carolina's pure contributory negligence rule means insurers will look for any evidence that you share even a fraction of the fault to eliminate your claim entirely. TopDog fights to get you every dollar you deserve.
From commercial retail properties along New Bern Avenue and Capital Boulevard in East and North Raleigh to grocery stores and restaurants throughout South Raleigh and Garner — we know where dangerous conditions accumulate in Wake County and who is responsible for them. WakeMed Raleigh Campus and Duke Raleigh Hospital regularly treat serious fall injuries. Those accidents cause real damage to Raleigh families and we fight to get injured people the care and money they deserve.
Property owners and their insurers across Wake County may look for any evidence that you contributed to your own fall — and under North Carolina's pure contributory negligence rule, even a small finding of fault on your part can eliminate your claim entirely. We know how to leverage the justice system in Wake County Superior Court to fight back and prove otherwise, protecting your right to recover what you may be owed.
IMPORTANT NORTH CAROLINA LEGAL INFORMATION — SLIP AND FALL
Statute of Limitations: 3 years from the date of injury under N.C. Gen. Stat. § 1-52.
Property Owner Liability: Property owners must maintain reasonably safe conditions for lawful visitors. The standard of care owed depends on the visitor's status (lawful visitor or trespasser).
Contributory Negligence (Critical): If you are found even 1% at fault — for example, if you were distracted or ignored a warning sign — you may be completely barred from recovering damages. Evidence of the dangerous condition must be preserved immediately.
Government Property: Claims against a state agency are filed with the North Carolina Industrial Commission, with a 3-year deadline for injury claims and a 2-year deadline for wrongful death.
This is a brief summary of commonly applied laws in the jurisdiction. There are often different laws that apply to different circumstances. Once you hire TopDog, your attorney will advise you on the applicable laws.
Insurance companies in North Carolina may look for any evidence of your fault to close your claim under the state's pure contributory negligence rule — even a small finding against you can eliminate your recovery entirely. They may use delay tactics and lowball offers while building that argument. TopDog Law and its co-counsel fight to preserve your right to recover what you may be owed.
