Why Statue of
Limitations are So
Important.
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.
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.
