Attorney Michael Shepherd: 555 South Mangum Street, Suite 800, Durham, North Carolina.

North Carolina is one of only five jurisdictions that recognize contributory negligence. This means that if you are determined to be even 1% at fault for the crash, you may not be able to recover any damages from the other party.

Calling a personal injury attorney can help you to better understand your legal rights when you have been involved in an accident. In some cases, a personal injury lawyer may be able to help you find exceptions if contributory negligence is a factor.

North Carolina is one of only five jurisdictions that recognize contributory negligence. Under contributory negligence, if you are determined to be even 1% at fault for the crash, you cannot recover any damages from the other party. This law is sometimes applied in circumstances that would seem strange to someone unfamiliar with the law. For instance, even if you have a green light at an intersection and are hit by a driver who ran a red light, the courts may say that you contributed by not seeing your way clear through the intersection.
