  1. Making Sense of North Carolina Personal Injury Lawsuits

  2. Why Personal Injury Lawsuits Do End Up In Court? A personal injury attorney can facilitate negotiations between the at-fault party, the insurance company, and the injured person to come to a fair settlement agreement. Yet, in the past few years, more and more personal injury claims have gone to court. This is in part because insurance companies have been putting more pressure on their claims adjusters to minimize the number of settlements and deny claims, rather than settling those claims for a fair sum.

  3. The first step in any personal injury claim, long before it goes to trial, is to establish who the negligent or at-fault party is. This the defendant, also known as the tortfeasor, is the person who has caused the injury through their negligence or wrongdoing. 1 Establishing Who Is Liable in Your Personal Injury Claim Establishing Who Is Liable in Your Personal Injury Claim

  4. Filing a Personal Injury Claim Lawsuit in North Carolina 2 Personal injury claim lawsuits are civil proceedings that are filed in the North Carolina Civil Court. Which court you file the claim with will depend on the amount of compensation you are trying to obtain. After you file the lawsuit, the defendant will receive a notice and will have a deadline to answer the lawsuit by admitting to the allegations or denying those allegations.

  5. 3 The non-binding arbitration process involves a court-appointed arbitrator who will allow each side of the case to present their case within half an hour, each. The arbitrator will then come to a decision. If either side of the case disagrees with that, then they have one month to appeal the decision. If nobody appeals, then the final decisions of the arbitrator are entered as the final judgment. Arbitration of Personal Injury Lawsuits in NC District Courts

  6. 4 In other cases, where the plaintiff is seeking greater than $10,000, and the case goes to the Superior Court, there may be a mediation process, instead of arbitration. In such cases, the mediator will not be deciding the case, the way that the arbitrator would in a District Court case. There will also not be any testimony or evidence associated with mediation.
