Do I Have a Medical Malpractice Claim?

To prove medical malpractice in South Carolina, a patient must have evidence of the following:

  • Failure to provide the standard of care. 
    This means that a hospital employee did not provide the average amount of care that a “reasonable” health care professional would.
  • An injury resulting from negligence. 
    The next step is proving that your injury resulted from the doctor’s negligence.
  • Significant damages caused by the injury. 
    The final requirement is that your personal injury resulted in disability, costly patient medical bills, pain and suffering, lost wages, and/or the need for ongoing/future health care.

How Is Medical Negligence Proven?

Providing proof of medical negligence can be difficult – but it’s an essential part of filing a medical malpractice lawsuit. Digging through medical records and patient bills is often required, along with a thorough understanding of a patient’s rights. Trust out medical malpractice attorneys to determine if hospital employees violated the standard of care.

Your case becomes more complicated if your doctor is an independent contractor and is not considered an official hospital employee. That’s why it’s crucial to have a law firm with experience filing a medical malpractice lawsuit in South Carolina on your side.
