What Is the Statute of Limitations on Medical Malpractice Claims In Raleigh?
In North Carolina, you have three years from when the alleged malpractice happened to take legal action. But there are a couple of exceptions. First off, if you only uncovered the injury a bit later down the road and had no clue about it at the time, you only have one year from that moment of discovery. But don't wait too long because there's an overall cap of four years from when the malpractice supposedly happened. In the case of foreign objects left in the body, you only have a one-year window to take legal action.
Against Whom Can I File a Claim With?
You can file a medical malpractice claim against the healthcare professionals involved. This includes but is not limited to the treating physician, surgeon, nurses, and even the healthcare facility where the malpractice occurred. In cases where a defective product is involved, you may also have a product liability claim running concurrently with the medical negligence case.
What Evidence Can Help Provide Medical Malpractice?
Strong evidence for a medical malpractice case includes medical records, expert testimonies, photos and videos, and any documentation that proves negligence or substandard care. A detailed timeline of events, such as written accounts of your pain since the incident, can also bolster your case.
What Are Some Possible Damages in a Medical Malpractice Case?
One thing you need to know is that each case is different. The damages you may be entitled to, similarly, may be different from what another patient may recover. That said, potential damages in a medical malpractice case include medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and other related costs.
Should I Settle or Go to Court?
Deciding whether to settle or go to court depends on your specific case and what your lawyer thinks is best for you. In most cases, going to court is usually an option if the other party refuses to cooperate or if liability is disputed.
