WHAT IS THE BASIS OF MEDICAL MALPRACTICE LAW IN SOUTH CAROLINA?

The basic premise in Medical Malpractice cases in South Carolina is as follows:

  • The patient is owed a duty of care by a medical professional to be treated in a manner that will not cause further injury or death
  • The medical professional will act in a manner that "any reasonable medical provider" would act under the same cirumstances
  • If the medical professional breaches the duty of care and acts in a unreasonable manner, the injuries suffered by the patient as a result of that breach of duty are compensable

WHAT ARE EXAMPLES OF MEDICAL MALPRACTICE CASES IN SOUTH CAROLINA

Examples of medical malpractice cases include the following:

  • Birth Injuries suffered during delivery
  • Errors in administration of anesthesia
  • Medication errors including dosage errors and mis-filled prescriptions
  • Botched Surgery and surgical errors
  • Diagnosis errors including non-diagnosis and mis-diagnosis

DO MEDICAL MALPRACTICE CASES GO TO TRIAL?

The vast majority of medical malpractice cases actually settle before trial. Specifically, the number of cases that settle in this area of tort law is well over 90%. To put it mildly, your case will likely not go to trial. However, Jay McMillian and The McMillian Law Firm, as your Charleston personal injury lawyer, prepares each case so it is ready for trial if necessary.
