“Poisson, Poisson & Bower, PLLC was recommended by someone I know. My experience was long and drawn out, but that is the way it is with workers’ comp. Everyone was friendly and good to me. They never thought they were better than me. Dianna always talked to me when I called. They were also very thorough. Everyone thinks this is a fast process but it’s not. They were honest about that with me. Dianna had a friendly attitude, and we were always able to talk to one another. She always got to what I called about right away.”

Statute of Limitations on Personal Injury Claims

Like all states, North Carolina has a statute of limitations on the amount of time you have to file a personal injury lawsuit. If you were injured due to someone else’s negligence, you have three years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit. This may not sound like a tight deadline at first. However, when you factor in the amount of time it could take to recover from your injuries, gather the information you need to file a claim, and go through one or more rounds of negotiations with the insurance company, three years can go by fast.

If you fail to act before the three-year time limit expires, you will lose your ability to demand compensation for your injuries, no matter how strong your underlying claim may be.
