South Carolina Medical Malpractice Lawyers

​​

When a doctor, nurse, hospital, or other healthcare provider fails to meet the accepted standard of care and a patient is harmed as a result, that provider may be held legally responsible. Medical malpractice cases are among the most complex personal injury claims, requiring detailed medical record review and, in South Carolina, an expert affidavit before a lawsuit can even be filed. Cantwell Law Firm represents patients and families harmed by medical negligence throughout South Carolina.

​

Common Types of Medical Malpractice

• Surgical errors

• Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis

• Medication errors

• Birth injuries

• Anesthesia errors

• Failure to properly monitor a patient's condition

 

South Carolina's Pre-Suit Requirements

South Carolina law requires a Notice of Intent to File Suit and a supporting expert affidavit before most medical malpractice lawsuits can proceed. These requirements exist to screen out unsupported claims early, but they also mean these cases require significant preparation before they're even filed. An experienced attorney is essential to navigating this process correctly.
