North Carolina House Bill 813 Halted


 It seems that House Bill 813 has lost its steam in the attempt to get it passed through the North Carolina Senate and will most likely not be enacted into law this session. This is reminiscent of last year when Representative Glazier introduced and got the bill passed in the House, only for it to fail in the Senate. Senator Pete Brunstetter, a Republican from Forsyth County, has tried to get the bill through the Senate this time around. He said that negotiations broke down among the interested parties, including lawyers, medical groups, the chamber of commerce and the insurance federation. https://askcompetentlawyer.com/ A critical blow to the bill's support occurred when the North Carolina Advocates for Justice withdrew its endorsement of the bill in June. The Advocates for Justice were a major driving force behind getting the bill passed. Senator Brunstetter said that the legislation probably will be proposed when the General Assembly meets in 2011. So, for now, North Carolina looks like it will remain a contributory negligence jurisdiction for at least another year.
