Medical Malpractice Attorney in South Carolina
If you suffered injuries from a medical procedure or surgery because your healthcare provider failed to follow the recognized standard of care during treatment, you may be able to file a medical malpractice claim to recover damages resulting from medical negligence. If you can prove the doctor, hospital or its employees caused your injuries, you may have a claim for medical malpractice.
“The South Carolina Code of Laws defines medical malpractice as: “Doing that which the reasonably prudent health care provider or health care institution would not do or not doing that which the reasonably prudent health care provider or health care institution would do in the same or similar circumstances.”
A free legal evaluation can help you determine if you have a claim because every unexpected or bad medical outcome is considered malpractice. You need to determine if a lawsuit is justified and whether your medical provider or hospital breached a standard of care while treating you.
A medical malpractice case is extremely complex and time consuming, including a variety of medical errors, such as misdiagnosis, surgical errors, medication mistakes, or negligent aftercare. It requires intense knowledge of the law as well as medical experts who can confirm the standard of care necessary for the treatment and whether that standard of care was breached by the medical provider, resulting in the death of your loved one.
There is no cost for our attorney to evaluate your case, and there are no legal fees unless you win your case.
South Carolina has statute of limitations for filing medical malpractice claims, which can’t be ignored. If you fail to timely file your claim, you may lose your right to file a claim and seek damages for your injuries.
