North Carolina Medical Malpractice Laws

Just because a patient was injured while under the care of healthcare providers doesn’t mean that he/she has grounds to pursue a medical malpractice lawsuit. There are certain elements a medical malpractice case must meet for a patient to recover monetary damages.

Medical malpractice plaintiffs have three years from the date of the injury or death to file a lawsuit in North Carolina. Although there is a cap on non-economic damages (e.g. pain and suffering), the cap doesn’t apply to cases involving severe disfigurement, permanent injury, as well as the defendant’s grossly negligent and reckless conduct.

The Elements of a Negligence Case

The following are the four elements that medical malpractice plaintiffs must prove in court:

The defendant (i.e. healthcare provider) owed a duty of care to the plaintiff
The defendant breached that duty by failing to provide that duty
The breach caused the plaintiff’s injury
The plaintiff suffered damages due to the defendant’s negligence

The Opinions that Matter Most

"Fabulous lawyer, highly recommend for any family law cases!!"
Prompt, thorough, understanding and knowledgeable, are only a few of the adjectives that describe Jetton & Meredith. Fabulous lawyers, highly recommend for any family law cases!!

- Former Client
"A True Professional"
Eric Meredith represented me during what turned out to be a lengthy divorce settlement. During the first meeting, he fully explained the process ahead and answered all my questions and concerns. I still remember the feeling of relief after that meeting knowing I had a true professional in my corner. Eric, along with his Paralegal Julie, kept me updated along the way and were quick to respond with any additional issues. Not only did he call with any updates to the case, he also would ask how I was doing. I cannot recommend Eric at Jetton & Meredith enough.

- Tim
"I highly recommend Mark should you ever need an attorney."
I highly recommend Mark. I hired him to handle a simple assault charge that was filed against me. Mark handled it professionally and expeditiously. He explained each step in the process, and everything happened just as he described. He is exactly the type of lawyer you want representing you.

- J&M Client
"Great service and very personal."
Great service and very personal. Jetton & Meredith are very hardworking attorneys. I will recommend Jetton & Meredith to anyone in need.

- Former Client
"I cannot stress enough how great the customer service was with Jetton & Meredith"
I cannot stress enough how great the customer service was with Jetton & Meredith, with my case being a little more complicated I had the opportunity to work with both Mr. Jetton and Mr. Meredith. I can say they know their stuff, Mr. Jetton was able to get my case dismissed the first time we went to court, no questions asked. Working with Mr. Meredith was a longer process but he walked me through the steps and gave me realistic expectations of an outcome that he was able to provide just as he stated he would do. I couldn’t be more pleased with my decision to hire Jetton & Meredith as my attorneys, and I would highly recommend them to anyone in need of an attorney!

- Former Client
"Far exceeded my expectations"
This law office far exceeded my expectations. All options and possible outcomes were set before me from the start and everything was handled in a professional and timely manner. Not only will I use this law firm again, but I would also and have already recommended them to the people I care most for. Thank you for all you’ve done.
