Medical Negligence Attorney in Charlotte, NC

Medical Negligence Overview

Medical Negligence Attorney in Charlotte, NC - North Carolina

Acts of medical negligence can and do cause serious damage to countless numbers of North Carolina patients each year, including permanent injuries, loss of quality of life and even loss of life itself. However, unless you are a doctor yourself, it can be very difficult to know whether a "bad medical outcome" might have been prevented or should never have occurred.

In any case, do not assume you either do or do not have a viable medical negligence claim without speaking to legal counsel. Time is of the essence. If you do not file a claim or lawsuit within the statutory period of time, you may forever lose your right to recover any amount or settlement.

At Powers McCartan, PLLC, our experienced and compassionate North Carolina lawyers represent people and families throughout the state in medical negligence claims against doctors, hospitals and other licensed health care providers. However, because most medical procedures carry some degree of risk, meaning that not every bad result is the result of bad medical care – and because medical negligence cases tend to be time consuming, expensive and difficult to prove - we limit the number of medical negligence cases we handle on a yearly basis. At the same time, we do encourage you to call.

Our experience with specific types of medical malpractice claims includes:

•  Surgical errors
•  Emergency room errors
•  Failure to diagnose, misdiagnosis cases
•  Birth injuries
•  Hospital negligence
•  Nursing malpractice
•  Anesthesia/anesthesiologist errors
