Frequently Asked Questions
What is the statute of limitations for medical malpractice in South Carolina?
In South Carolina, you generally have three years from the date of the injury to file a medical malpractice lawsuit. However, there is a separate three-year statute of repose from the date of the alleged malpractice, which can limit claims. Exceptions may apply for minors or cases of fraud.
Do I need a certificate of merit to sue a doctor in South Carolina?
Yes, South Carolina law requires that your attorney file an affidavit of merit from an expert witness within 90 days of filing the lawsuit. This expert must attest that there is a reasonable basis for the claim. Failure to provide this can result in dismissal of the case.
What damages can I recover in a medical malpractice case in Easley?
You may recover economic damages like medical bills and lost wages, as well as non-economic damages for pain and suffering. South Carolina caps non-economic damages at $350,000 per defendant, with a total cap of $1,050,000 for all defendants. Punitive damages may also be available in cases of gross negligence.
