Do I need a medical expert to file a malpractice claim in North Carolina?
North Carolina law generally requires a plaintiff in medical malpractice lawsuits to present expert medical testimony to establish that the healthcare provider’s conduct deviated from the relevant standard of care and caused the plaintiff’s injuries. Our medical malpractice lawyers at ER Law can coordinate with the appropriate medical experts to seek this testimony.
