Can I Claim Compensation If I Was Partially At Fault in a Bicycle Accident in North Carolina?
North Carolina follows a strict contributory negligence rule, which means if you are found even slightly at fault for the accident, you may not be able to claim compensation. However, there are exceptions, and an experienced attorney can provide guidance based on the specifics of your case.
