Why Statue of Limitations are So Important. Many clients are unaware of the statute of limitations in North Carolina. The Kelly & West Law Firm team has released a new blog post helping clients understand the statute of limitations in North Carolina. What are statutes of limitations? The post describes them as, "Let's say your car is damaged in an accident. At the time, you don't have the resources to file a lawsuit against the other driver. You wait a year before deciding to take the case to court. Is the case still valid?" So, the longer a person waits to file a lawsuit, the higher the chances are of losing valuable evidence, forgetting facts, losing track of witnesses, or even passing a critical case figure. Statutes of limitations attempt to prevent evidence and memories from getting stale. Statutes of limitations vary based on the area of law or category of case. Here are some examples of statutes that are effective under North Carolina legislation: Personal Injury or property damage claims due to an accident are barred after three years. Wrongful death claims cannot be brought forward after two years from the date of death. Trespassing upon real property must be brought forward within three years of the initial trespass.
