Medical Malpractice FAQs

How do I know if I have a medical malpractice case? +

Not every bad outcome is malpractice - sometimes complications happen despite proper care. We have medical experts review your case to determine if you have a valid claim. Call for a free review.
How long do I have to file a medical malpractice lawsuit? +
In South Carolina, you generally have 3 years from when you discover (or should have discovered) the malpractice, but no more than 6 years from when it occurred. There are exceptions for foreign objects left in the body and cases involving minors. Don't wait - call immediately as evidence disappears and witnesses forget.
How much does a medical malpractice case cost? +

Can I sue if my loved one died from medical malpractice? +

These cases require immediate action to preserve evidence and secure expert opinions about the cause of death.
