North Carolina Professional Malpractice Attorney
Chapel Hill NC Professional Malpractice Lawyer
If your physician, lawyer, accountant, stockbroker or other trusted professional's incompetence resulted in personal losses or physical harm, you may be entitled to compensation for your physical, financial, or personal injuries.
With more than two decades of experience in personal injury law, the Law Office of Michael W. Patrick has the resources and tenacity it takes to investigate and analyze your case and help you file a professional malpractice or medical malpractice claim.
Most people associate malpractice solely with the healthcare industry. However, in the State of North Carolina, legally there are many types of malpractice. Some examples:
- Legal MalpracticeSquandering time and client resources, committing billing errors, professional dishonesty and deliberate incompetence (missing deadlines and statutes of limitations, for example)
- Medical MalpracticeBirth injuries, misdiagnosis, failure to make a timely diagnosis, medication dosage and prescription drug errors, neglect, nursing home abuse, surgical errors, and failure to read or keep accurate medical records
Working to Protect Your Rights in a Professional Malpractice Claim
Professionals such as doctors, surgeons, accountants, and attorneys have a responsibility to provide services to patients and clients that conform to the "accepted standard of care" in their profession. This standard is usually defined as how a reasonable professional with the same expertise would act, given the same situation.
If a professional fails to meet the accepted standard of care, attorney Michael W. Patrick will apply more than 25 years of experience with malpractice litigation to help hold the professional responsible for negligence or error. Negligence or malpractice by someone you trust and count on can result in injury, loss of money, or loss of legal rights. We can help you collect compensation for your loss or injury.
Malpractice Can Cost You Money and Legal Rights
Professionals such as lawyers and accountants are trusted with your money and freedom. If your lawyer provided incorrect legal advice or failed to file suit on your behalf, you may lose money and an important legal advantage. If your accountant mishandled your money or provided incorrect financial or tax advice, you will most certainly lose money, and you may be held criminally responsible for your accountant's actions.
As soon as you think a professional has acted negligently, maliciously, or erroneously, contact an experienced malpractice attorney to learn how to protect yourself.
