According to the North Carolina Statute of Limitations, victims of medical malpractice have three years of file a claim after the incident. While this may seem like more than enough time, you should not wait to speak with an attorney if you have suffered from any of the following injuries:

• Brain Damage: This can result from lack of oxygen to the baby's brain during labor.
• Forceps Damage: Improper or careless use of forceps during the birth process can lead to nerve damage, brain damage, and cerebral palsy.
• Erb's Palsy: Erb-Duchenne Palsy is an injury that affects the brachial plexus and can result in arm paralysis.
• Cerebral Palsy: Symptoms include abnormal limb movement, loss of muscle strength and control, issues with hearing and speaking, and joints that are too tight or too loose.
