Slip & Fall claims in Greensboro

Strip-mall parking lots are where a lot of Greensboro falls happen. A wheel stop, broken asphalt, and a light that has been out for weeks all count. The store may not own the lot. Leases split that responsibility between the landlord and the tenant, so the first real question is who was supposed to maintain the surface you fell on, and the second is whether anyone reported the problem before you found it. Then comes the part that hurts. They will say you could see it and should have gone around, and here that is a dismissal. Photograph it in daylight and again at night. Get the property manager's name off the sign at the entrance.

Frequently asked questions

Where do I get a crash report in Greensboro?

The Greensboro Police Department handles crashes inside the city limits. Out on I-40, I-85, or I-73, the NC State Highway Patrol is often the responding agency, and in unincorporated parts of the county it may be the Guilford County Sheriff's Office. The NC Division of Motor Vehicles also takes crash-report requests statewide. Three agencies means three places to look. Write down which one responded.

Which court would handle my injury case in Greensboro?

Greensboro is in Guilford County, and a filed suit goes to the Guilford County Courthouse. Guilford is one of the North Carolina counties that holds court in two cities, Greensboro and High Point, so the location can depend on the case. North Carolina also splits civil matters between District Court and Superior Court based on the amount claimed. You have 3 years from the crash to file.

A tractor-trailer hit me on I-85. Is that claim handled differently?

The rules are the same, but the other side moves faster. A commercial carrier's insurer may have someone documenting the scene, the vehicle, and the driver's account within hours, and in a state where 1% of fault on you ends the claim entirely, an early one-sided record of what happened is worth a great deal to them. Get the report, and keep your own photos and notes.

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.
