Maintaining your home’s or property’s safety isn’t just a benefit to you and your family—it can protect visitors and guests from injuries and accidents, too.

North Carolina residents are all too aware of how changing seasons can impact their safety. From winter weather driving conditions to slick springtime walkways, knowing what to look for and expect may help you avoid getting hurt.

Although North Carolina receives little to no snowfall most winters, residents still have inclement weather to manage—no matter if they live in one of the many beautiful cities or picturesque rural areas of the state. Colder temperatures plus increased rainfall, ice, and wind can all challenge even the safest and most experienced drivers. Add mountains and densely wooded areas to the mix, and you’ve got a recipe for some potentially white-knuckled driving conditions. 

A great way to enjoy the Raleigh, North Carolina, area is to take advantage of all the local attractions. When it comes to camping, hiking, and sightseeing, there’s much to do all year round.

Murphy’s Law dictates that “anything that can go wrong, will go wrong.” And our team at Wilson Williams Law can attest to this: In our Raleigh, North Carolina practice, we know that driving, sports, medication accidents, and more may all contribute to a plaintiff exploring personal injury case options.  

If you’ve been hurt in an accident, you may be entitled to financial compensation for physical damages to your person or property. But, in order to be eligible to receive those funds, there is a timeline in which you must act. The legal time period in which you as the plaintiff have the right to file a claim is referred to as the “statute of limitations”.
