In North Carolina, medical malpractice claims must be filed within a certain period of time. Generally, victims of medical malpractice have two years from either the date of omission or the date of discovery of omission (up to a maximum of four years) to file a claim. In cases in which a foreign object was left inside the patient during surgery, medical malpractice claims can be filed within one year of the date of discovery, provided that the date of discovery is within 10 years of the initial surgery.
