How North Carolina law treats burn-injury claims

Shared fault

North Carolina is one of the last pure contributory negligence states: any fault on the injured person's part, however slight, bars recovery entirely.

Smith v. Fiber Controls Corp., 300 N.C. 669 (1980); see also N.C. Gen. Stat. § 143-291

Damage caps

North Carolina places no cap on non-economic damages in ordinary injury cases. Its $500,000 cap is limited to medical-malpractice actions and is re-indexed to inflation every three years.

N.C. Gen. Stat. § 90-21.19
