Have You Been Harmed by Medical Malpractice and Negligence?
When you are sick or injured, you put your faith in your doctors and other healthcare professionals. In turn, they should do everything they can to help you make a full recovery. Unfortunately, doctors and nurses sometimes fail to live up to the applicable standard of care, resulting in serious injuries to patients.
If you are a victim of medical negligence, you want someone to stand up for your rights and make sure you get proper medical attention. At the Wilmington, North Carolina, office of Shipman & Wright, L.L.P., we have the experience and legal skills needed to recover the compensation you deserve for your pain and suffering.

Building the Best Case Possible
Our firm puts in the time to gather evidence and build a compelling case, whether your loved one has been the victim of nursing home neglect or you have suffered from medication errors. From surgical errors to misdiagnosis or even delayed diagnosis of cancer, the outcome can be tragic. We handle a variety of medical negligence cases while focusing on the following areas:
- Medication errors : Medication errors are on the rise. Administering the wrong medication is very common and very preventable. As a patient, you trust that you will be provided with the right medication and the right dosage, but mistakes can be made, resulting in pain, suffering and sometimes death.
- Nursing home neglect : A nursing home should be a place that not only provides room and board, but more importantly provides rehabilitation and skilled medical care for the injured, disabled or sick. Unfortunately, that is not always the case and legal action needs to be taken.
