Commonly Asked Questions

Who is eligible to file a wrongful death claim in North Carolina?

According to North Carolina law, a personal representative of the deceased’s estate is eligible to file a wrongful death claim, this representative could be named in the deceased’s will or estate plan. If a personal representative does not exist, the court can appoint one. While anyone can be appointed, in North Carolina the surviving spouse, child, or parent of the deceased is a common choice.

What damages are recoverable in a wrongful death claim?

Depending on several factors, you may recover extensive damages, including medical expenses leading up to your loved one's death, loss of income or cash flow, loss of consortium, loss of society and companionship, and pain and suffering experienced by your loved one.

What is the wrongful death statute of limitations in North Carolina?

The statute of limitations is the time limit of when a claim must be filed before the claimant loses their opportunity. You have two years from the date of your loved one’s passing to file a claim before the statute of limitations runs out. There are some circumstances where the statute of limitations may be extended, depending on the details of your case. An attorney from our firm can let you know your options.

How long does it take to resolve a wrongful death claim?

The timeline for resolving a wrongful death claim can vary widely depending on the complexity of the case, the willingness of the parties to settle, and the court's schedule. It can take anywhere from several months to a few years to reach a resolution. An experienced attorney can provide a more accurate estimate based on the specifics of your case.

Can multiple parties be held liable in a wrongful death case?

Yes, multiple parties can be held liable in a wrongful death case if it is determined that their combined actions or negligence contributed to the death. This is common in cases such as multi-vehicle accidents, medical malpractice involving several healthcare providers, or workplace accidents involving multiple entities.
