Wake Forest

Wake Forest sits in northern Wake County. A wreck there is not a Franklin County case just because the town is near the county line. A later civil filing for a Wake County crash belongs at the courthouse at 316 Fayetteville St. Mall in Raleigh. Use the official courthouse page for hours and the main telephone.

The statewide rules still apply. The injury lawsuit window is three years. A death claim is two years counted from death. Contributory negligence is the fault rule. If the scene was handled by a town officer, a sheriff’s deputy, or a trooper, request the report from that agency, and use the Division counter on New Bern Avenue if you also need that copy. The courts and report guides on this site walk through those steps.
