Slip & Fall claims in High Point

Showroom floors change for market. Temporary carpet goes down, cords get taped, ramps get built over a threshold, and aisles narrow without warning. All of it comes out again in a week. That is the problem with these claims, because the thing that caught your foot may be gone by the time anyone asks about it, and the exhibitor, the building owner, and the company that installed the flooring will each remember it differently. Photograph it while it is still there. Report it to the showroom and to building management, separately. Expect the answer that a careful person watches the floor. Here that answer does not reduce anything, it ends it.

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.
