Understanding Wrongful Death Claims
According to the North Carolina Statutes section 28A-18-2, “wrongful death” is defined as a fatality caused "by a wrongful act, neglect, or default of another.” Examples of wrongful death claims include car accidents, slip and falls, pedestrian accidents, medical malpractice, dangerous drugs, and defective products. Whatever the nature of the accident, if your loved one was killed because of someone else’s actions, our firm is here to listen to your story and help you determine the next step.
How To File A Claim
Wrongful death claims aren’t available to just anyone. Depending on where you live, state laws will determine who may lawfully file a claim, and when. In North Carolina, the claimant has two years from the date of the individual’s death to file a wrongful death claim. After that date, the court is very unlikely to accept the claim.
Who Can File A Claim
In North Carolina, the representative of the deceased person’s estate is entitled to file a claim after their passing. Typically, this will include a spouse, the deceased person’s adult children, the deceased person’s parents, or perhaps a sibling or other close relative. If the deceased individual never named a personal representative in their will or estate plan, the court will appoint one.
