2026 is here, and if you've been putting off pursuing a personal injury claim, now is the time to act. North Carolina's statute of limitations means you have limited time to file your case, typically three years for most personal injury claims and two years for wrongful death cases. Don't let time run out on getting the compensation you deserve. Paynter Law works on a contingency fee basis, meaning no costs or attorney fees until we win your case. Contact us for a free consultation at (919) 245-3116 or visit our website.

After a car accident, the impact often goes far beyond medical bills and lost wages. Pain and suffering damages address the physical pain, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life that can follow a serious injury—but they are often the most misunderstood part of an injury claim.

In our latest blog, Paynter Law explains how pain and suffering damages are evaluated in North Carolina, the methods insurance companies use to calculate them, and the unique challenges created by the state’s contributory negligence rule. If you’ve been injured in a car accident, understanding these factors is an important step toward protecting your right to full compensation. https://www.paynterlaw.com/understanding-pain-and-suffering-calculations-in-north-carolina-car-accident-cases/

We are thrilled to share that Barbara Younger has been selected as the Featured Artist for our 2025 Solstice Lantern Walk mugs!!! 🌃🏮

Her design used dark blue paint to create the evening sky, swirled with a lighter blue to symbolize the mystical nature of the Solstice Lantern Walk, plus golden stars to illuminate the nightscape. She cut the lanterns (including a fish, dove, moon, and butterfly) from white and patterned paper.

When asked what the Solstice Lantern Walk means to her, Barbara said, “The event symbolizes inventiveness, community, and the amazing constancy of Mother Earth.”

Barbara and her husband have been a part of the Hillsborough community for over 40 years. She took an acrylics class at the Passmore Center eight years ago, which sparked her artistic career. Now, her work is favored by adults who appreciate her quirky approach and kids who are drawn to the bold colors and designs.

“I’m always touched when a parent or grandparent lets a child choose a favorite piece for their bedroom or playroom,” notes Barbara.

🌟 Join us on December 20th, 5-8 PM for the Solstice Lantern Walk, and for the chance to take home one of these beautiful 2025 Solstice Lantern Walk mugs!

*Registration is required to attend the 2025 Solstice Lantern Walk & Market. Event registrants who show proof of a $15+ per person donation with their tickets can receive a Solstice Mug, featuring artwork by Barbara Younger, on-site at the Solstice Market while supplies last. Solstice mugs are a collaboration between the Hillsborough Arts Council and Paynter Law.

Find full details for this year’s Solstice Lantern Walk at www.hillsboroughartscouncil.org/solstice! We can’t wait to light up the night sky with you ✨
