Where do I file an insurance claim? Can I sue for an out of state accident?
By Danny Glover Jr, Elizabeth City NC Car Accident Lawyer, Trucking Accident, and OBX Motorcycle Accident Attorney
If you were involved in an “accident” in North Carolina, normally that is the state where a legal claim for damages would be made. While there are certain exceptions, a good general rule of thumb is this:
Who’s at fault means, “Who caused the wreck” under the NC accident laws. Liability for accident injuries in North Carolina is related to negligence and the duty of care.
Sometimes more than one person can cause the wreck, sometimes 100% of the fault rests on one driver.
Determining who is legally liable for accident injuries in North Carolina requires careful review of the documentation of the wreck scene and causes of the NC accident case.
