Cary

Cary sits in Wake County, west and southwest of downtown Raleigh. A wreck there is under the same statewide statutes that apply in Five Points, and a later civil case is usually filed at the Wake County Courthouse, 316 Fayetteville St. Mall, Raleigh, not at a separate Cary courthouse. Confirm hours and the current filing cost with the clerk or on the official courthouse page.

An injury filing usually has a three-year window under G.S. 1-52(16). For a death, G.S. 1-53(4) supplies two years counted from death. The contributory-negligence rule is the same one used in Raleigh. Ask at the scene which agency will write the crash report, then request that report and, if you need it, the Division copy at 4121 New Bern Ave. Coverage questions, including the July 2025 auto floors, are in the floors and uninsured-motorist guides.
