US-NC treble damages rules
This source-backed guide covers US-NC treble damages authority (N.C. Gen. Stat. § 75-16 (North Carolina UDTPA — mandatory treble damages)). It explains how to read the calculator's multiplier output and points to the controlling US-NC multiplier statutes.
What the output means
Run this scenario in DocketMath using the Treble Damages calculator.
When the calculator shows a multiplier result, read it as a statutory multiplier on the base damages figure, not as a separate damages category.
- Base damages stay the same until the multiplier is applied.
- The statutory multiplier changes the total by the rule-specified factor.
- Any cap, exception, or carve-out still controls if the statute says it does.
US-NC rule notes
Statutory multiplier
N.C. Gen. Stat. § 75-16 (North Carolina UDTPA — mandatory treble damages) governs the treble (multiple) damages rule for US-NC.
75-16. G.S. 75-16 § 75-16. Civil action by person injured; treble damages. If any person shall be injured or the business of any person, firm or corporation shall be broken up, destroyed or injured by reason of any act or thing done by any other person, firm or corporation in violation of the provisions of this Chapter, such person, firm or corporation so injured shall have a right of action on account of such injury done, and if damages are assessed in such case judgment shall be rendered in favor of the plaintiff a
What changes the result most
- The base damages input, because the multiplier applies to that number.
- The statutory multiplier itself, because 2x, 3x, and 4x produce different totals.
- Any cap or carve-out in the statute, because it can limit the multiplied amount.
