Learn about Statue of Limitations with Kelly & West Law Firm
Lillington,United States - September 14, 2022 /PressCable/ —
Many clients are unaware of the statute of limitations in North Carolina. The Kelly & West Law Firm team has released a new blog post helping clients understand the statute of limitations in North Carolina.
What are statutes of limitations? The post describes them as, “Let’s say your car is damaged in an accident. At the time, you don’t have the resources to file a lawsuit against the other driver. You wait a year before deciding to take the case to court. Is the case still valid?” So, the longer a person waits to file a lawsuit, the higher the chances are of losing valuable evidence, forgetting facts, losing track of witnesses, or even passing a critical case figure. Statutes of limitations attempt to prevent evidence and memories from getting stale.
They are also very strictly enforced, so if a lawsuit is not filed within the allotted time, clients can lose the right to file the lawsuit forever.
Statutes of limitations vary based on the area of law or category of case. Here are some examples of statutes that are effective under North Carolina legislation:
● Personal Injury or property damage claims due to an accident are barred after three years.
● Wrongful death claims cannot be brought forward after two years from the date of death.
● Trespassing upon real property must be brought forward within three years of the initial trespass.
● Assault, battery, or false imprisonment cannot be brought forward more than three years after the act.
● Libel and slander must be brought forward within one year of the act.
A complete list of statutes of limitations currently active under North Carolina legislation can be found on the NC Legislature website.

Mastermind review: Louis Koo plays detective in ludicrously bad Hong Kong mystery thriller
1/5 stars A fine line separates a labyrinthine murder thriller from an infuriatingly fragmented mess. With Mastermind, emerging Hong Kong writer-director James Hung Ling-ching (The Seventh Lie) crosses it with reckless abandon, delivering a detective mystery with such irredeemably awful plotting that genre fans will rarely have felt so insulted. Set over a single, relentlessly storm-soaked night in H City – a fictional, dystopian metropolis of 5 million starved of proper rule of law – the film...
