How fault works

PURE CONTRIBUTORY NEGLIGENCE — 1% at fault bars all recovery

Construction sites in North Carolina's fast-growing metros like Charlotte carry real danger, falls, scaffold collapses, equipment and electrical injuries. Workers' compensation may cover an injured worker regardless of fault, but when a third party such as a general contractor, subcontractor, or equipment maker was negligent, a separate claim may exist, and there North Carolina's pure contributory negligence rule applies, so being even 1% at fault can bar recovery. OSHA violations and site records can strengthen a case but may be hard to obtain alone, and third-party injury claims generally must be filed within three years. Connecting with an independent, licensed North Carolina attorney can help an injured worker understand every path, whatever language they speak.

What a connected attorney can do

  • Investigate what happened and identify who is responsible
  • Deal with the insurance companies so you don't have to
  • Track the 3 years filing deadline so you never miss it
  • Pursue the compensation you're actually owed

Frequently asked questions

I was hurt on a construction site, is workers' comp my only option?

Not always. Beyond workers' compensation, a negligent third party like a subcontractor or equipment manufacturer may be liable, though that claim is subject to North Carolina's strict 1% contributory negligence rule. FaultFreeClaims is not a law firm; we connect you with an independent attorney who can evaluate both paths.

How long do I have to bring a construction injury claim in North Carolina?

Third-party personal injury claims generally carry a three-year deadline in North Carolina, while workers' compensation follows its own separate process. Acting early helps preserve OSHA and site records. We can match you with an independent, licensed attorney to review your case.

Can I recover if the accident was partly my fault?

North Carolina follows this rule: PURE CONTRIBUTORY NEGLIGENCE — 1% at fault bars all recovery. Because the answer depends on the details, it's worth talking to an attorney who knows North Carolina law before assuming you have no case.

Does it cost anything to get connected?

No. Getting connected with an attorney through FaultFreeClaims is free and comes with no obligation. We are not a law firm — we connect you with independent, licensed attorneys.
