- Surgical errors such as operating on the wrong body part, performing unnecessary or incorrect surgery, failing to use due care during surgery, and leaving surgical instruments in a body cavity
- Anesthesia mistakes such as failing to properly monitor a patient under anesthesia, and failing to conduct a proper work-up to determine potential reactions to different anesthetics
- Failure to diagnose or misdiagnosis such as failing to order or conduct appropriate tests to determine injury or illness, and negligently reading or interpreting any test data
- Birth injuries, from hypoxia (oxygen deprivation) to delivery room errors to failure to properly perform a C-section to improperly responding to shoulder dystocia or potential damage to the brachial plexus
- Prescription or pharmaceutical errors such as prescribing the wrong medicine or wrong dosage, and filling a prescription incorrectly
In medical malpractice cases in South Carolina, you must obtain the opinion of a medical expert before you can file a claim for malpractice. We have built strong relationships with professionals within the medical community, and we can help you get the documentation you need to pursue damages for your injury.
When we take your medical negligence claim, we will seek full and fair compensation for all your losses, from wages and income to medical expenses, including the costs of physical therapy or rehabilitation. We will also help you recover for pain and suffering, as well as permanent disability.
