If I am at fault, even a small amount, can I recover?

North Carolina also has what is called “contributory negligence”. We are one of the few states remaining that still have this law. What it means simply is that if you were 1% at fault you cannot recover for any damages. For that reason, it is especially crucial that you seek the advice of a lawyer if you feel you have a injury case for injuries arising out of a vehicle accident.
