North Carolina's general deadline for personal injury claims is three years. Under N.C. Gen. Stat. § 1-52(16), the claim doesn't accrue until bodily harm becomes apparent, or reasonably should have become apparent, whichever comes first. The same subsection adds an outer limit: unless another law provides otherwise, no claim accrues more than 10 years after the defendant's last act or omission. Some claims follow different deadlines, so it's worth asking a lawyer early. The North Carolina State Bar also offers a public member search where you can confirm a lawyer's license status.
