Charlotte Wrongful Death Lawyer

North Carolina Wrongful Death Attorney

When you have lost a loved one to medical malpractice, you want answers. Unfortunately, the medical profession is taught to avoid answering specific questions or telling you the full story. Some won't even tell you the risks and complications of surgery before you loved one is put under. You want to know what went wrong. You want to know why this happened.

At the North Carolina law office of Devore, Action & Stafford, PA, medical malpractice attorney Troy Stafford helps families find answers. He will help you understand what went wrong. Then, he will work with top medical experts to determine if you are entitled to compensation for the wrongful death of your loved one.

Defense lawyers tell North Carolina attorney Troy Stafford, "When we see you file a lawsuit, we know we have a problem." They know that they will face strong evidence against their clients and good, board-certified experts.

Our law office handles wrongful death cases that involve any type of medical malpractice, including:

• Medication overdoses
• Surgical errors, including bleed outs and oxygen deprivation
• Emergency room errors
• Aspiration pneumonia (inflammation of the lungs)
• Anesthesia errors
• Failure to diagnose and treat illnesses such as cancer, heart attacks and strokes
• Failure to diagnose and treat injuries such as spinal cord injuries
• Errors by radiologists, neurosurgeons and orthopedic surgeons

Not Every Complication Is Malpractice

Some complications that lead to death are not medical malpractice. In order for you to recover compensation for wrongful death, you must be able to show that the medical professional caused an injury that led to your loved one's death. Was your doctor vigilant? Was there a complication during surgery that they caught and responded to quickly? Or, did they ignore that complication and cause further injury? A surgical error or other medical error is often like leaving a faucet running. It is a mistake that can be fixed if caught. However, if left unchecked, it will flood the house.

North Carolina wrongful death attorney Troy Stafford will find answers for your loved one's death and, if medical malpractice did happen, he will fight hard to hold the negligent nurse, doctor or hospital accountable.
