Compensation for Lincolnton Negligent Security Survivors
Thanks to the liable party’s actions (or inaction), you have lost money and sustained injuries that you never should have had to deal with. For that reason, you have the right to ask the liable party to reimburse you for everything you have suffered, including but not limited to:
- Loss of wages for any money you should have earned but had to sacrifice in order to let your injuries heal
- Property damage if something of value was destroyed in the incident (e.g., your car was hit in a hospital parking lot)
- Medical expenses for any treatment you have already received or will probably need in the future
- Pain and suffering to include both physical and psychological distress stemming from your injuries and from the traumatic nature of the incident that caused them
- Disabilities to include injuries that cause temporary, permanent, partial, total, physical, and/or intellectual disabilities
- Reduced quality of life if you can no longer perform common activities (e.g., playing with the dog, dressing yourself)
How Do You Calculate Negligent Security Injury Damages?
Put simply, our team can look for evidence that proves your injuries are connected with negligent security and establishes a monetary value for those injuries. Such evidence might include:
- Testimony from an eyewitness who saw the incident happen
- Testimony from an economist who can explain what effect your injuries might have on your ability to earn a living
- Medical records or bills that tell us how much you have spent on treatment
We can also use legal formulas to help us figure out what a fair settlement is in your case.
What You Need to Know About Negligent Security Cases in Lincolnton
You do not need to be an expert in North Carolina’s negligence laws to file your case. The team at Farmer & Morris Law, PLLC, can manage your case on your behalf.
That said, it is a good idea to know some of the basics when it comes to what factors influence your case and how your case may go. One of our negligent security attorneys can talk to you about the following things.
The Statute of Limitations on Lincolnton Cases
A statute of limitations is a law that tells you how long you have to begin a legal action after sustaining a negligence-related injury. In North Carolina, this law can be found at N.C. Gen. Stat. § 1-52, which gives you three years to decide whether or not you want to file a case.
Liable Parties in Negligent Security Cases
The at-fault party in such cases is not always who it seems to be. For example, if you were attacked in the lobby of your apartment building, your first instinct might be to blame the building’s owner for failing to install a lock that would keep out anyone who does not live in the building.
While this might very well be what happened, it is important to investigate another possibility: that the owner installed the lock in good faith, not realizing that the manufacturer had sold a faulty product.
How Long Your Negligent Security Case May Take
Some liable parties are eager to settle. Others may try to drag your case out as long as they can in the hope that you will give it up and they will not have to pay.
You should prepare yourself for either eventuality and do your best to be patient as we fight your case. If you ever want progress reports, advice, or reassurance, Farmer & Morris Law, PLLC, can be there for you.
