Car Accidents claims in High Point

Downtown High Point parks its cars at an angle. Backing out of an angled space means backing into a lane you cannot see. Add delivery vans stopped in that lane and the sight line is gone. A backing crash is the one an insurer likes best, because the driver leaving a space carries an obvious duty to look, and it takes only a percent of that duty to end a claim in North Carolina rather than reduce it. Photograph where the van was parked. Photograph your mirrors. Whether you could see anything at all is the entire question here. Downtown businesses keep cameras, and most will show you the file if you ask that week.
How fault gets decided can end a car accident case in High Point 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 High Point?

The High Point Police Department writes reports for crashes inside the city. On I-74 and US-311 the NC State Highway Patrol is frequently the responding agency, and elsewhere in the county it may be the Guilford County Sheriff's Office. The NC Division of Motor Vehicles also takes crash-report requests statewide. If you aren't sure who responded, the report number from the scene is the fastest way to find out.

Which court would handle my injury case in High Point?

High Point is in Guilford County, which holds court in both High Point and Greensboro, so a filed suit goes through the Guilford County courts. North Carolina separates civil cases into District Court and Superior Court depending on the amount claimed, and that depends on the claim rather than the city. Most claims settle without a filing. The deadline if yours is filed is 3 years.

A delivery truck hit me on US-311. Is that claim handled differently?

The law is the same, but the other side is not one person with a personal policy. A commercial carrier usually has a claims process that starts the same day, its own account of what happened, and a strong reason to find some share of fault on you, since 1% is enough to end your claim in North Carolina. Keep your own photos and the report number.

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.
