Medical care requires the trust of the patient and their family. When you are placed under the care of a medical professional or when you turn a loved one over for medical attention, you trust in a standard of care. When that standard of care is breached, you may be entitled to significant compensation for any injuries sustained as a result of negligence. At Morrow Porter Vermitsky & Taylor, PLLC in Winston-Salem, we can help you make sense of your situation.
In North Carolina, a medical malpractice case is one of the most difficult lawsuits to pursue. Doctors, insurance companies and other medical professionals are experienced in contesting claims tooth and nail to try to prevent any recovery for patients and their families. If you or someone you love has suffered, it is important to consult with an experienced medical malpractice attorney who can protect your rights.
In addition to medical malpractice claims, our firm also handles professional liability claims, including claims against negligent lawyers. If you lost your case or were unable to recover as a result of unprepared or unqualified representation, you may be able to recover both for your underlying claim and for malpractice. Our attorneys will normally take malpractice cases on a contingency fee, meaning that we do not recover unless you do. We are committed to helping clients who would not otherwise have access to justice and bear the risk so that you can access the courtroom.
