When a doctor injures his or her patient, that doctor should be held accountable.  Similarly, if a nurse or other medical provider harms a patient, he or she should be held accountable.  Medical malpractice cases sometimes require hundreds of thousands of dollars to litigate because medical experts are required to prove gross negligence: that the doctor acted worse than the standard course of action.

​

Finding the right South Carolina medical malpractice attorney is crucial.  The attorney must know the ins and outs of botched surgeries, misdiagnoses, pressure sores, failures to treat, prescription drug errors, and birth injuries.  Luckily for our clients, Andrew has helped handle a number of medical malpractice cases.

LEGAL REQUIREMENTS FOR MEDICAL MALPRACTICE

​

The initial steps in determining whether a case exists are what we call the "foundational requirements."  There must be a patient relationship, a negligent physician, and injuries that result from that negligence.  Although this sounds simple, the second step is the most time-consuming to prove.  The question is not whether a mistake was made; the question is "why did the doctor not properly do what all other doctors do?"  Was the physician inattentive, rushed, understaffed, uncaring?  Whatever the case, we will get to the bottom of it.

​
