What Does a Medical Malpractice Lawyer in Durham Cost?
Medical malpractice lawyers in North Carolina typically work on a contingency fee basis, meaning they receive a percentage of your recovery if you win.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the time limit to file a medical malpractice lawsuit in Durham North Carolina?
In North Carolina, you generally have three years from the date of the injury to file a medical malpractice lawsuit. However, there is a strict four-year statute of repose from the date of the negligent act, regardless of when the injury was discovered. Exceptions exist for minors and cases involving foreign objects left in the body.
What damages can I recover in a medical malpractice case in North Carolina?
You can recover economic damages like medical expenses and lost wages, as well as noneconomic damages for pain and suffering. North Carolina caps noneconomic damages at 500,000 dollars per plaintiff in most medical malpractice cases. Punitive damages are also capped and require proof of willful or wanton conduct.
Do I need a certificate of merit to sue for medical malpractice in North Carolina?
Yes, North Carolina law requires that within 30 days of filing a medical malpractice complaint, your attorney must serve a certificate of merit. This document must state that a qualified medical professional has reviewed the case and believes there is a reasonable basis for the claim. Without this certificate, the court will dismiss your lawsuit.
