Medical Malpractice Lawyers Durham NC

Experience Makes a Difference in Medical Malpractice Cases

Many people suffer injuries or death because of medical errors that should not have occurred.  If the error is  because someone has failed to provide the type of  care demanded by their profession,  you may have a claim for medical malpractice.  Doctors, nurses and other healthcare professionals have a duty to their patients.   When a physician, doctor, nurse, pharmacist or other healthcare professional agrees to diagnose or treat a patient, they owe a duty of care toward that patient to comply with the standards of their profession.  If the professional fails to provide such care and a patient is injured, the patient has a claim of medical malpractice.

Have You Been Injured Due to Medical Professional’s Failure?

Medical Malpractice may take the form of negligence, mistake or error, ignorance or misdiagnosis.  Some of the most common instances of medical malpractice occur through a failure to diagnose a patient, order appropriate treatment, order necessary tests and proper medication, consult with specialists, or do surgical procedures in a timely manner.

Medical malpractice lawsuits must be brought within three years from the date of the last act of the defendant giving rise to the cause of action or within one year of the date when the injury was or should have been discovered, but not more than four years from the date of the last act of defendant giving rise to the cause of action. N.C. Gen. Stat. §§ 1-15 and 1-52(16) (1996). Foreign object cases must be brought within one year from the date of discovery, but no longer than ten years from the date of the occurrence. N.C. Gen. Stat. § 1-15 (1996). Wrongful death actions based on alleged medical malpractice must be brought within the foregoing period or within two years from death, whichever is shorter. N.C. Gen. Stat. § 1-53 (1996).

For malpractice actions on behalf of minors, the same rules apply, except the child’s action (but not the parents’ action for medical expenses) may also be brought any time before the child’s nineteenth birthday. N.C. Gen. Stat. § 1-17 (1996).

Other Professional Malpractice

Any professional, including attorneys, architects, accountants, stockbrokers, financial advisers, surveyors, and a variety of others, owe a duty to their patient or client.   When they fail to comply with that duty, they should be held accountable.

When a person is injured or suffers loss due to a professional’s failure, they have rights that must be protected and pursued.  We can help you through this complicated process.  If you have been injured by a professional in North Carolina, Contact Mills & Mahoney, P.A., to discuss your case. In all potential professional negligence cases, we will not charge a fee for your initial consultation where we review your claim to determine if we believe the case merits investigation and prosecution.  If we decide to help you with your case, we will do so on the basis of a contingent fee, meaning you do not have to pay us a fee if there is no recovery.

Client Testimonials

“I came to Glenn, Mills, Fisher, and Mahoney with an extremely difficult legal dilemma that seemed impossible to resolve fairly and favorably. I was completely floored–and relieved beyond belief–when Carlos Mahoney called the next day to let me know that he had found a way out of the morass. It was a brilliant solution. Mahoney and his assistant made a truly awful situation much easier to deal with because of the integrity which they brought to the work. They answered all my questions promptly. They never dropped the ball, and were always up to date on the issues when I called, which was no small feat, since the matter had many moving parts and extended over several years. Through it all, Mahoney offered truly wise counsel, making sure that my emotions did not get in the way of my interests. He also guided the case toward a conclusion that was far better than I ever hoped or imagined. I cannot recommend the firm more highly.”

- Laura Edwards

Mr. Mahoney was recommended to me by another attorney for his expertise in insurance coverage. My case had several layers of complexity and Mr. Mahoney was able to navigate through them all in a strategic and succinct manner. His staff is nice and responsive and his fees are reasonable. I would highly recommend his services.

- Matej Polomsky

Could not be more pleased with my results. Carlos did an outstanding job in presenting all the facts in my case. He is held in high regards among his peers, and I was able to witness first hand why. Very thorough, with no wasted time. A truly class act. Highly recommend his services.
