How North Carolina law treats vehicle fire injuries

Statutory research reviewed 2026-08-14. Not legal advice.

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
