Birth injuries caused by medical negligence can have lifelong consequences for children and families across Greensboro and Guilford County. These are not random outcomes — they are often the result of medical professionals failing to monitor, respond, or act in time during labor and delivery. Cone Health and Women's Hospital of Greensboro serve the delivery and pediatric needs of families across the Triad. When those deliveries go wrong because of medical negligence, families are often dismissed and told complications were unavoidable. North Carolina's 4-year statute of repose and Rule 9(j) requirements make early legal action essential. Lifetime economic damages are not capped. TopDog fights to get every dollar your child deserves.
Cone Health and Women's Hospital of Greensboro serve the communities where our clients live and deliver babies across Guilford County. We know these facilities and how to hold them accountable when a birth goes wrong. Those failures cause real damage to children and their families and we fight to secure the future every child deserves.
Hospital systems and their insurers across Guilford County use North Carolina's Rule 9(j) requirements and 4-year repose to protect themselves. We know how to leverage the justice system in Guilford County Superior Court to fight back for your child's future.
IMPORTANT NORTH CAROLINA LEGAL INFORMATION — BIRTH INJURY
Statute of Limitations: North Carolina's health care liability framework (N.C. Gen. Stat. § 1-15(c)) applies to birth injury claims. The basic limitation is 3 years from the date of the last negligent act.
4-Year Statute of Repose: No claim may be filed more than 4 years after the date of the negligent act, regardless of discovery (§ 1-15(c)). This applies to birth injury cases.
Minor Exception (§ 1-17(b)): A claim on behalf of a minor must be filed within the statute of limitations or before the minor reaches 10 years of age (whichever is longer). Families should not assume the child has open-ended time to file.
Rule 9(j) Expert Affidavit Required: A qualified expert's certification that the defendant's care fell below the standard of care must be filed with the complaint (N.C. R. Civ. P. 9(j)). Failure results in dismissal.
Noneconomic Damages Cap: $712,847 as of January 1, 2026 (§ 90-21.19). Cap waived if permanent injury and defendant's conduct was reckless, grossly negligent, fraudulent, intentional, or malicious. Economic damages — lifetime medical and care costs — are NOT capped and typically represent the most significant component of a birth injury recovery.
This is a brief summary of commonly applied laws in the jurisdiction. There are often different laws that apply to different circumstances. Once you hire TopDog, your attorney will advise you on the applicable laws.
Hospital systems and their insurers use North Carolina's Rule 9(j) and 4-year repose to protect themselves. The non-economic cap applies with exceptions for severe cases. Economic and lifetime care damages are not capped. TopDog Law and its co-counsel fight for the full recovery.
