When patients are harmed by a health care providers’ negligence, they may bring a medical malpractice suit. However, not every medical or dental mistake constitutes malpractice. In North Carolina, in order to prove the occurrence of medical malpractice, the plaintiff (i.e. the person bringing the claim) must prove that the care he or she received from the defendant did not meet the standards of care practiced by

• other health care professionals with comparable training and experience
• who were members of the same health care profession as the defendant
• and are familiar with the same or similar community standards as the one in which the defendant practiced
• at the time when the alleged malpractice occurred.

We offer free consultations to medical malpractice clients.

Medical malpractice claims frequently arise in cases of missed or mistaken diagnoses, errors in drug prescription, surgical errors, birth injuries, failure to inform patients about potential risks related to medical procedures, and other types of improper treatment.

If you were examined or treated by a health care professional and you were injured by that person’s actions—or failure to take proper action—please contact Myers Law Firm. Located in Charlotte, North Carolina, we are dedicated to helping injured people recover compensation for their medical bills, pain and suffering, lost wages, and more.

If your child was harmed by a health care provider, whether during birth or in a different health-care related context, we can help you seek compensation on the child’s behalf. We understand that your primary focus is on caring for the injured child; while you do so, we can in turn focus our resources and skills on pursuing the financial compensation necessary for your child’s recovery, and for any long-term consequences that might impact the child’s life.

In addition, our attorneys have decades of cumulative experience representing clients whose family members died as a result of medical malpractice. In such cases, family members may seek compensation through wrongful death claims.

Medical malpractice claims are complex, and their resolution may not be fast. They involve the use of expert testimony, which must be provided in accordance with North Carolina laws.
