File Your North Carolina Dog Bite Lawsuit within the Allotted Time
Dog bite victims in North Carolina have a limited time to file civil lawsuits against animal owners. In general, you have:
- Three years to file a personal injury lawsuit, per G.S. § 1-52
- Two years to file a wrongful death lawsuit, per G.S. § 1-53
If the dog bite victim is a minor, the statute of limitations generally does not start running until their 18th birthday. The best way to avoid missing, misunderstanding, or misinterpreting the filing deadline is to let a Lenoir dog bite injury attorney handle it for you. We will file your lawsuit on time.
Our Lenoir Dog Bite Attorneys will Gather Evidence of the Dog Owner’s Financial Liability
Dog ownership is a responsible undertaking. According to G.S. § 67-4, the owner of the dog that bit you bears liability if state law determines the dog is “dangerous.”
Proving the owner is financially liable for your dog bite claim is a complex legal undertaking. Let our Lenoir dog bite attorneys handle it for you. Contact our consultation team at Farmer & Morris Law, PLLC, to find out how hard we will fight for you.
