In October 2011 the new Republican Legislation passed a tort bill called Senate Bill 33 which caps claims so that I have not been able to take my case. I had at least four cases and have contacted several lawyers that no longer do medical malpractice. This is the only state a profession in not responsible for errors.
Why is this important?
Yes, I am personally a victim of this law. I am one of every person that has had medical mishaps who have no chance of compensation when an error occurs. Anyone in this state that goes under the knife has no recourse if an error occurs. I will have to go to another state when I need my next surgery for fear another mishap. I have two complete boxes of medical records to back me up but in NC it doesn't matter.
