I'm Not At Fault, Can I Seek Legal Action?

Understanding Liability in Legal Cases
In personal injury cases, liability is determined by negligence or fault. Just because another party's actions contributed to the incident does not mean you can't pursue legal remedies. A local attorney can evaluate your case and help you establish fault. Demonstrating that another party's negligence led to your injuries can strengthen your position for claiming damages.

The Role of Comparative Negligence
North Carolina follows the rule of contributory negligence, which means if you're found even slightly at fault, you may lose your ability to recover damages. However, if you prove the other party is entirely responsible, you can seek compensation for your injury-related expenses. An experienced legal advisor can analyze the specifics of your case, helping you establish your lack of fault through evidence such as witness statements, accident reports, and other relevant documentation.
