Families Can Recover Compensation After a Loved One’s Fatal Brain Injury

- Funeral and burial expenses
- The decedent’s medical bills
- The decedent’s pain and suffering
- Loss of the decedent’s income
When our law firm handles your family’s case, we carefully detail your recoverable damages. We also handle the negotiation process on your behalf and fight hard to obtain a favorable monetary settlement.
How North Carolina’s Statute of Limitations Affects Your Tryon Brain Injury Case
The state requires the timely filing of any civil lawsuit. Because your accident happened in Tryon, its filing deadline is determined by North Carolina law. Accordingly:
- If you or a loved one suffered a brain injury caused by someone else’s negligence, G.S. § 1-52 generally entitles you to three years to file your personal injury lawsuit. The statutory clock starts running on the date the accident occurred.
- If a loved one succumbed to a brain injury after a negligence-based accident, G.S. § 1-53 generally entitles your family to two years to file its wrongful death lawsuit. The statutory clock starts running on the date of your loved one’s demise.
At Farmer & Morris Law, PLLC, our brain injury lawyer will ensure your Tryon case is filed on time. Filing your lawsuit too late could mean you cannot file it at all. It could also be dismissed without its merits ever being heard.
How We Document the Legal Elements of Negligence in Your Brain Injury Case
Your brain injury case is governed by many state laws. In addition to the statute of limitations, the state requires proof of the at-fault party’s negligence in causing the injury. The four elements of negligence include:
- Duty of care
- Breach of duty
- Causation
- Damages
To prove these elements, we build a strong case file with the following evidence:
- Medical records
- Employment history
- Accident report
- Injury photos
- Accident scene photos
- Witness statements
- Expert testimonials
We will not tax you or your family with collecting evidence. Our legal team does this for you and submits your case file along with a demand letter to the at-fault party and their insurance provider.
