What is considered medical malpractice in South Carolina?
All medical procedures carry a certain degree of risk. Sometimes a patient might sustain injuries even when the medical provider does everything he or she is supposed to do. However, if a doctor, surgeon, nurse or hospital staff does not follow the standard of care in South Carolina, he or she may have committed malpractice. With the help of an attorney, you might have grounds to file a medical malpractice lawsuit against the doctor or hospital whose negligent behavior caused your injuries.
What are common examples of medical malpractice?
Many different types of medical malpractice exist that put patients at immediate risk. They include medical misdiagnosis, failure to diagnose a medical condition, failure to monitor patients after surgery, surgical errors, anesthesia errors and childbirth injuries. If you believe you have been the victim of substandard medical care, you should talk to a lawyer with experience in handling such cases as soon as possible.
Can I file a medical malpractice lawsuit in South Carolina?
Yes. When doctors and other medical professionals make mistakes, the results can be devastating. While no medical procedure is risk-free, all South Carolinians have a right to expect medical providers to follow standards of care when it comes to diagnosing illness, ordering lab tests, performing surgery and providing appropriate follow-up care. When a provider fails to do so, the injured patient may be entitled to compensation.
