FAQs About Personal Injury

  • What qualifies as a personal injury case?

    Personal injury cases arise when an injured person suffers harm due to the negligence or wrongdoing of another person or entity. Common examples include car accidents, medical malpractice, nursing home abuse, and wrongful death claims. At Tarantino Law, PLLC, we help clients pursue personal injury claims to recover damages such as lost wages, medical expenses, and pain and suffering.


  • How do I know if I can file a lawsuit after an accident?

    To file a lawsuit, you must prove that someone else was at fault and that you suffered damages—either physically, emotionally, or financially. We evaluate your situation based on North Carolina’s rule of law and applicable statutes of limitations. Our team offers honest insight and strategic advice on whether pursuing legal action is right for your circumstances.


  • What compensation can I receive from a personal injury claim?

    Compensation may include reimbursement for medical bills, ongoing treatment, property damages, lost wages, and non-economic damages like pain and suffering. In some cases, punitive damages are available when conduct is especially reckless. Every claim is different, and we work to ensure our clients receive fair outcomes that reflect their hardships.


  • Does Tarantino Law handle serious injuries or wrongful death cases?

    Yes. We represent clients in complex cases involving wrongful death, catastrophic injuries, and medical malpractice. Whether you’re dealing with loss of a loved one or the long-term effects of a traumatic injury, our firm provides compassionate and determined representation throughout the legal process.


  • What is strict liability, and when does it apply?

    Strict liability applies in some personal injury law cases where fault does not need to be proven—only that the injury occurred under specific conditions, such as defective products or certain dog bite cases. We guide clients through whether this standard applies to their situation and how it impacts the claim.


  • Are there different rules for personal injury cases in North Carolina?

    Yes—North Carolina follows a contributory negligence rule, meaning if you're found even partially at fault, you may not recover damages. This differs from states like California personal injury law, where partial fault still allows for compensation. Knowing the local rules is essential, and our firm offers guidance that reflects the unique requirements of your jurisdiction.


  • How long do I have to file a personal injury claim?

    The statutes of limitations for personal injury lawsuits in North Carolina are generally three years from the date of the incident. However, this timeline can vary depending on the specifics of your case. It’s critical to act quickly—delays could affect your ability to recover.


  • Why choose Tarantino Law over a bigger personal injury law firm?

    While some of the largest personal injury law firms focus on volume, Tarantino Law, PLLC offers a deeply personalized experience. We combine the strategic knowledge you'd expect from top personal injury law firms with a level of care that puts clients first. Our approach is rooted in trust, open communication, and strong results—just check our personal injury law firm reviews.
