North Carolina Medical Malpractice Lawyers

Under North Carolina law, a legal claim for medical malpractice arises when a patient is injured by medical care that is not within the accepted standards of medical practice in the same or similar communities.

These claims can arise from negligence on the part of physicians, home health care personnel, members of a hospital staff such as nurses, respiratory therapists, technicians, and others. Malpractice claims can also arise from negligence of managed care organizations and their employees.

Are all bad outcomes malpractice?

It is an unfortunate fact of life that people grow ill, and not everyone gets better. The firm feels that we owe it to our clients and the medical community to have potential claims reviewed by experts who are both impartial and highly qualified. We ask the best experts from North Carolina and around the nation to tell us whether or not a tragic outcome was attributed to medical malpractice.

Since 1983, members of the firm have worked to develop highly qualified experts who are willing to review potential malpractice claims and provide impartial opinions. The firm prides itself on obtaining excellent experts and respecting their opinions. It is in no one's best interest to file a claim for medical malpractice simply because there has been an unfortunate outcome in a medical setting.

How can our medical malpractice lawyers help?

Martin & Jones has represented victims of medical malpractice throughout North Carolina. Members of the firm have tried medical malpractice claims from Boone to New Bern.

Four lawyers, John Alan Jones, Tom Barwick, Katie Bricio and Forest Horne, form the medical malpractice section. A large administrative staff, litigation paralegals, and a registered nurse support them.

In addition, the lawyers also have the support of a former insurance adjuster, who for more than twenty years evaluated and investigated medical malpractice claims for physicians and hospitals.

Medical malpractice claims are among the most difficult cases to win at trial. With that in mind, the firm carefully scrutinizes potential medical negligence claims to insure that a claim is valid.

If our experts believe that there is no evidence of medical malpractice, we explain the basis for those opinions to the client so that he/she will understand what happened to him/herself or their loved one.

On the other hand, if we are persuaded that a client has been injured by medical negligence, the firm represents that client both zealously and ethically in order to obtain compensation and justice.

If you believe you or a loved one has been the victim of medical malpractice, please contact us.
