Acting Fast to Claim Motorcycle Accident Damages
In North Carolina, motorcycle accident survivors generally have three years to start a case, as codified at G.S. § 1-52. Missing this deadline could mean missing out on your chance to recover financial compensation for losses like:
- Medical expenses: Treating injuries like bone fractures, concussions, road rash, and lacerations can cost a significant amount of money— especially if your injuries will require long-term care.
- Property damage: If your motorcycle were damaged or totaled in the accident, you could qualify for reimbursement for fixing or replacing it.
- Pain and suffering: Any adverse effects on your physical or mental well-being can count as “pain and suffering,” so long as you can tie those effects to your experiences during the motorcycle crash.
- Disability: Whether you lost partial use of your arm or sustained an intellectual debility after a blow to the head, you deserve compensation for the ways in which your disability has changed your life.
- Loss of earning capacity: Trying to earn a living after sustaining a severe injury could be challenging. Thus, the responsible party should compensate for the difference between what you can make now versus what you expected to earn over your lifetime.
- Diminished quality of life: Being unable to live independently, care for dependents, or spend time on your favorite hobbies can make it harder to enjoy your life.
We encourage you to contact our team as soon as possible to protect your right to ask for these and other damages. We work closely with clients to better understand their situation and ensure we ask for adequate compensation based on their circumstances. In addition, a motorcycle accident attorney from our office can ensure you file your case in time to avoid running afoul of state law.
Compensation and Justice After a Motorcycle Accident
Motorcycle accidents are sadly all too common in North Carolina. The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) released a report on 2021 traffic accidents and found the following:
- Fatal motorcycle accidents are on the rise in North Carolina.
- There were 3,613 motorcycle crashes statewide in 2021.
- These crashes caused 3,227 injuries and 206 fatalities.
These numbers demonstrate how the odds are not in your favor to escape uninjured if you are involved in a motorcycle accident. Unfortunately, motorcyclists are at such an elevated risk of injury because their vehicles do not offer the same protection as others. Motorcycles are smaller and lighter than most other vehicles they are likely to collide with.

- Driver who did not pay attention to the road or failed to obey applicable traffic laws.
- Parts manufacturer that failed to warn customers about problems with vital parts, like brakes or steering columns.
- Local government that failed to fix issues with the road, like potholes or broken street signs.
- Mechanic who failed to assess or fix problems with your motorcycle correctly.
