Car Accidents claims in Concord

Cabarrus County keeps adding intersections. A road like Poplar Tent gets widened, a signal replaces a stop sign, lanes get restriped. People keep driving the road they remember. When two drivers are each running a slightly outdated picture of the same intersection, the insurer does not have to prove which one was wrong, only that you held some piece of the blame yourself, however small it was. In North Carolina a piece is the same as all of it. Photograph the signs and the striping that day, because they may change again. Ask whether the other driver lives here or was passing through on I-85 that day. Familiarity with a road cuts both ways in an argument like that.
How fault gets decided can end a car accident case in Concord before it starts. North Carolina's rule: Pure contributory negligence — 1% at fault bars all recovery. You have 3 years to file. Rear-end, intersection, and highway collisions — the most common case we help with.

Frequently asked questions

Where do I get a crash report in Concord?

The Concord Police Department handles crashes inside the city limits, including much of the US-29 corridor through town. On I-85 the NC State Highway Patrol is often the responding agency, and elsewhere in the county it may be the Cabarrus County Sheriff's Office. The NC Division of Motor Vehicles also handles crash-report requests statewide. Ask at the scene.

Which court would handle my injury case in Concord?

Concord is the seat of Cabarrus County, so a filed injury suit goes to the Cabarrus County Courthouse. North Carolina splits civil cases between District Court and Superior Court according to the amount claimed. Most injury claims are worked out with an insurer and never get that far, but if yours does, the deadline in North Carolina is 3 years from the date of the crash.

My crash was on I-85 near the Cabarrus and Mecklenburg line. Which county is it?

Cabarrus County borders Mecklenburg, and I-85 runs straight across that line, so a few hundred yards decides which sheriff's office and which courthouse are involved. The NC State Highway Patrol works much of that stretch on either side. Note the last mile marker or exit you passed. The legal rules are identical in both counties, because contributory negligence and the 3-year deadline are statewide.

How long do I have to file an injury claim in North Carolina?

In North Carolina, the deadline is generally 3 years from the date of the accident. 3 years personal injury; wrongful death 2 years. Deadlines are strict — the sooner you act, the more options you have.
