North Carolina law requires that a complaint alleging medical malpractice certify that the case has been reviewed by a qualified expert witness who is willing to testify that there has been negligence in the matter. Aside from this requirement, such a medical review is necessary because lay people are not usually in a position to know whether or not a particular action amounts to malpractice.
