Filing a Medical Malpractice Claim in South Carolina 

We trust our doctors, hospitals, and other healthcare providers to uphold a certain standard of care. Unfortunately, this does not always happen—and the consequences can be severe. 

When medical providers fail to properly care for patients, they can be held accountable for their negligence. If you were injured or if someone you love passed away due to the negligent or wrongful conduct of a healthcare provider, such as a doctor, nurse, anesthesiologist, hospital, or emergency room, you could have grounds for a medical malpractice claim. Bauer & Metro, P.C. can help.

These cases are extremely complex; not just any attorney can handle medical malpractice claims. You need someone with extensive experience in this area of law, someone who knows how the system works and what it takes to successfully seek the justice you deserve. Our team is standing by, ready to help you navigate this immensely difficult time in your life. We are intimately familiar with South Carolina’s medical malpractice laws, as well as local regulations that may apply to your case. We work with medical experts to review treatment records and other important evidence that can help fortify your case.

What Is Medical Malpractice? 

Medical malpractice refers to a situation where a healthcare professional, such as a doctor, nurse, or medical institution, fails to provide the expected level of care and treatment to a patient, resulting in harm, injury, or even death. It involves negligence or a breach of the standard of care that medical professionals are expected to uphold.

To have a medical malpractice case, it is not enough to simply show that you sought treatment and were not healed. It is not even enough to show that your condition worsened after you sought treatment. Instead, you must show that the medical provider from whom you sought treatment somehow failed to uphold the standard of care. In other words, you must prove that the medical provider either failed to act in a way that another qualified medical provider would have acted or acted in a way that another qualified medical provider would not have acted in the same or similar circumstances.
