My friend hit me in the nose and now I'm having problems breathing. It's been 10 years since this happened. I've gone to an eye ear nose and throat doctor. I was told it will cost 10000.00 dollars to repair the damage done to my nose. Has it been too long ago to be able to sue this friend?

Unfortunately yes, it is likely too late to sue your friend. When it comes to personal injury lawsuits, there is something called the statute of limitations. This is a specific timeframe that you must bring a lawsuit forward, otherwise you can’t. In North Carolina, the statute of limitations is three years after the date of incident, which you are past. While it can’t hurt to check with a personal injury attorney to confirm in case there are important details missing in this question that might shift that, chances are you won’t be able to bring a lawsuit forward.
