KBA Partner Whitney Butcher is an astute, compassionate North Carolina personal injury lawyer who fights for her community and succeeds on the national stage in complex civil litigation. A great researcher and writer, she has a keen eye for detail. A skilled litigator and trial lawyer, whether in North Carolina or beyond, clients are blessed to have her representing them.
Whitney J. Butcher comes to KBA with extensive experience litigating products liability, mass tort, and single event cases. Ms. Butcher joins as a partner after serving as a partner for a prominent North Carolina based personal injury firm. She was also a Senior Attorney for a large firm with a national reach. Ms. Butcher values the importance of quality client-centered representation and knows how to fiercely litigate against billion-dollar companies in complex proceedings.
She served on the Plaintiff’s Steering Committee for the Smith & Nephew BHR Hip Implant Multi-District Litigation (“MDL”). Before that, her peers picked her to work on the Discovery Committee for the Fresenius Granuflo/Naturalyte Dialysate MDL. She has also litigated cases in numerous other federal consolidated litigations and MDLs and has experience taking corporate fact witness and 30(b)(6) depositions, arguing and briefing motions, and helping to oversee document discovery and the review of millions of pages of documents.
Ms. Butcher litigates North Carolina personal injury cases. She is a North Carolina nursing home abuse attorney and a trucking accident lawyer. More broadly, she also litigates institutional sex abuse cases, including clergy sex abuse cases. Representing students and other survivors of sex abuse, she fights hard, secures victories in motions practice, and heads to trial again this year to give a voice to the exploited.
Ms. Butcher is also an accomplished product liability attorney. She is handling the firm’s Cartiva toe implant cases, artificial hip implant failure cases, and other orthopedic medical device cases.
Her favorite aspect of practicing law, though, is the ability represent individuals and help tell their stories. She has successfully represented hip implant clients whose devices failed prematurely, helped numerous families navigate and ultimately resolve tragic wrongful death cases, and worked to secure a multi-million-dollar settlement for a client with a severe traumatic brain injury and orthopedic injuries following a devastating motor vehicle wreck.
Born and raised in Ashland, Kentucky, Ms. Butcher graduated from Elon University magna cum laude in 2009, with double majors in Political Science and Public Administration. She also competed on the Division I Women’s Tennis Team and was named an ITA Scholar Athlete. She then attended Elon University School of Law where she was a member of the Moot Court Board and argued at several national competitions, graduating in 2012. She speaks at professional events.
Whitney is a dog lover, but with this side eye, we’re not sure the feeling is mutual.
