Nursing Home Abuse in Raleigh and the Research Triangle
The Research Triangle's educated, growing population creates demand for nursing home services and a jury pool with high health literacy in elder abuse cases. Wake County Superior Court has seen increasing elder abuse case volume as Raleigh's population has grown rapidly. The proximity of Duke University Medical Center and UNC Hospitals provides access to prominent gerontological expert witnesses for both plaintiff and defense. North Carolina's certificate of merit requirement is manageable for experienced elder abuse attorneys with established expert networks, and the 3-year SOL provides reasonable time for case investigation before filing.
