Liability Overview
Liability Considerations in Charlotte
North Carolina has a 3-year statute of limitations for medical malpractice with minor tolling to age 9. North Carolina caps non-economic damages at $500,000 (subject to ongoing constitutional challenges). Economic damages — lifetime care costs — are uncapped and are the primary avenue of recovery in catastrophic birth injury cases. Charlotte's rapidly growing population and Atrium Health's high delivery volume make it one of the most significant underserved birth injury markets in the Southeast.
