Call Us 919-240-4054Our NC college campus injuries lawyers understand that college is a one-in-a-lifetime opportunity for growth and advancement. For many, the college years are the best years of their lives.
But it doesn’t always work out that way.
In the blur of socializing, partying, and drinking, tragedies can occur. Sexual assaults, injuries suffered during hazing, robberies, and other incidents can ruin young lives just as they’re getting started.
If you or a loved one has been hurt at school, call our NC college campus injuries lawyers; you may have a claim against the perpetrators, the school, or even the state if a public college or university was partly at fault. If you believe you have been wronged at school, an attorney must evaluate your situation because many claims are not obvious. For example, your school may have failed to report crime statistics and warn of crimes under the Clery Act. Colleges and universities have specific duties and responsibilities under state law toward the students they educate.
Colleges and universities also have certain obligations toward students if they have accepted federal funds. For example, a school may have violated “Title IX” because of improper handling of issues involving gender and sex.
If you were assaulted on campus, please know that it is possible to heal and it is possible to seek justice.

While we understand that the time following an injury can be confusing and disruptive, we urge you to avoid delay in evaluating your claim. If appropriate, it is essential to complete medical examinations and investigations as close to the incident as possible, and legal deadlines can prevent you from filing a lawsuit if you wait too long.
