It costs absolutely nothing to see if you have a case
Wrongful deaths in North Carolina stem from various circumstances. Some of the most common causes include:Â
Your attorney needs to understand the cause of your loved one’s death to build a strong wrongful death case. Our network of attorneys can investigate the circumstances surrounding the incident and identify all potentially liable parties.
In North Carolina, wrongful death lawsuits must be filed by the personal representative of the deceased’s estate. This person is typically named in the deceased’s will or appointed by the court if there is no will. The personal representative acts on behalf of the deceased’s beneficiaries, who may include:Â
While the personal representative files the lawsuit, any compensation recovered is distributed to the qualifying beneficiaries according to North Carolina’s intestate succession laws or the deceased’s will.
Pursuing a wrongful death claim requires legal knowledge, investigative skills, and negotiation experience. A qualified wrongful death attorney can provide invaluable assistance by:Â
If the insurance company or at-fault party refuses to offer adequate compensation, your attorney will be prepared to take your case to trial.
An experienced wrongful death lawyer offers compassionate guidance and keeps you informed throughout the legal process. They can increase your chances of obtaining the full compensation your family deserves.
After losing a loved one due to someone else’s actions, you must take certain steps to protect your legal rights and strengthen a potential wrongful death claim:Â
In North Carolina, wrongful death lawsuits must typically be filed within two years from the date of the deceased person’s death. However, certain circumstances may extend or shorten this timeframe, so you need to consult an attorney as soon as possible.
Settlements are distributed according to the North Carolina Intestate Succession Act, regardless of whether the deceased had a will. The distribution typically prioritizes the surviving spouse and children, followed by parents and other relatives.Â
Insurance policies often play a significant role in wrongful death cases. Depending on the circumstances, you may be dealing with auto insurance, homeowner’s insurance, or professional liability insurance. An experienced attorney can help navigate the complexities of multiple insurance policies and ensure you pursue all available sources of compensation.
Recoverable damages may include medical expenses related to the fatal injury, funeral and burial costs, lost income and benefits the deceased would have earned, loss of the deceased’s services and care, and compensation for pain and suffering experienced by the family.
