In North Carolina maybe not as good as you might think. There is a rule of law dating to the middle ages called " contributory negligence" which means precisely what it says: if you contribute to your own injury you cannot recover. The carrier will argue that your participation was contributory. You might engage a lawyer to research the area for you. I have never seen or heard of a successful case in NC.
