Medical Malpractice
North Carolina Medical Malpractice Attorney
Doctors, nurses, surgeons, and other healthcare workers have a responsibility to their patients to provide a level of service that meets the accepted "standards of care." When a doctor, dentist, chiropractor, or other healthcare worker fails to meet this standard because of negligence or malpractice, a patient can die or face a lifetime of disability or permanent injury.
If you or a loved one were hurt by a physician's malpractice or negligence, or if you contracted a hospital-born illness, you don't have to feel defenseless or intimidated by the insurance company's impressive-looking teams of lawyers. You have rights. Please contact the Law Office of Michael W. Patrick for a free consultation to determine if you have a valid medical malpractice claim, and to receive an honest appraisal of what you could collect in a malpractice suit.
Working to Protect Your Rights and Your Loved Ones
Attorney Michael W. Patrick is dedicated to helping people hurt by medical malpractice get compensation for their injuries, as well as helping family members collect compensation for their loved one's wrongful death.
Michael W. Patrick has more than 25 years of experience serving injured people. Our firm handles many medical malpractice and medical negligence cases involving physicians, hospitals, and healthcare professionals, such as:
- Birth injuries (to mother or child, including preeclampsia, brain damage, Erb's Palsy, and Cerebral Palsy)
- Unnecessary surgeries or procedures
- Surgical errors
- Failure to read and keep accurate medical records
- Failure to diagnose a disease or condition that is more treatable in the early stages (cancer, Parkinson's, diabetes, meningitis, stroke, etc.)
- Failure to treat in a timely manner
- Failure to recognize an emergency
- Failure to perform medical procedures correctly
- Failure to properly monitor patients
- Misreading test results
- Medication, prescription drug, and dosage errors
- Errors with anesthesia
- Negligence
- Nursing home abuse (falls, unexplained bruises, sexual assault, bed sores, pressure sores)
With more than two decades of experience in personal injury law, we will investigate the circumstances surrounding your injury and help you pursue maximum monetary damages for lost wages, hospital and medical expenses, corrective care, loss of quality of life, and pain and suffering.
If a recalled medical device or defective product was used in health care—such as a hip replacement or pacemaker—and it caused injury or resulted in death, we can file a products liability claim to collect compensation from the manufacturer or supplier as well.
