Frequently Asked Questions

What Damages Can You Recover After A Car Accident In North Carolina?

After a car accident in North Carolina, you can recover damages for a range of losses you suffer. These include medical expenses, property damage, lost wages, and pain and suffering. If the accident caused permanent injuries, you may also be eligible for future medical care and loss of earning capacity. In cases of gross negligence, such as drunk driving, punitive damages may be awarded. Consulting with an attorney can help you receive fair compensation for all your damages.

The amount you can recover in a personal injury claim depends on several factors, including the:

  • Severity of your injuries
  • Extent of the property damage you incur
  • Impact on the quality of your life

North Carolina law allows you to recover economic damages, such as medical bills and lost wages, as well as non-economic damages for things like pain and suffering. However, the state’s contributory negligence rule may bar recovery if you’re found to be partially at fault for the accident.

Settlement amounts from personal injury claims can indeed be used to pay medical bills. After a car accident, your settlement should cover both current and future medical expenses related to the injuries you sustained. It isn’t uncommon for medical providers or health insurers to place a lien on your settlement, making them entitled to receive a payment from the funds you receive from your settlement. Working with an attorney can help ensure that these liens are handled properly and your taxing medical expenses are resolved smoothly.

You can sue for emotional damage in a personal injury lawsuit. Emotional damages, more commonly referred to as pain and suffering, include the mental distress and psychological impact caused by an accident. This can involve things like:

  • Anxiety
  • Depression
  • Post-traumatic stress disorder
  • Other forms of emotional trauma

Emotional damages are considered non-economic damages. These can be far more difficult to quantify but are still nevertheless recoverable in North Carolina personal injury claims.

If a driver is drunk at the time they are involved in an accident, the legal case can move from being merely civil to encompass a criminal charge as well. Drunk driving in North Carolina is illegal, and drivers involved in accidents while under the influence of alcohol can face criminal charges. In these instances, the criminal case would be separate from the civil lawsuit you’d file to recover the damages you suffer. Know that you can still pursue a personal injury claim against the other driver regardless of the outcome of the criminal case.
