Medical malpractice happens when a doctor or medical professional acts or fails to act in compliance with the acceptable standards of care for their field. Medical professionals are held to a much higher standard of care than other professions because they are trusted to provide proper medical assistance; the failure to do so can have a substantial impact on the lives of their patients.
Medical malpractice has been a leading cause of death in the United States for many years. This does not include people who become substantially impaired or disabled as a result of a medical error. These errors can range from a misdiagnosis, a surgical error, and an error in treatment or medication. Unfortunately, medical errors happen all too often, leaving patients and their families in devastating positions. If you or a loved one is a victim of a medical error, call Brehmer Law Firm at (803) 771-6600 or send us a message on our Contact page to see if we can help.

When you have a consultation with our attorneys, they will ask you a series of questions to determine whether you may have a claim and who you may have a claim against. If it appears that there might be a claim or claims for medical malpractice, our attorneys may choose to consult with an expert or other medical professional in the same medical field on your claim.

In South Carolina, the Statute of Limitations, or time limit for filing a lawsuit, for medical malpractice cases may vary based on the medical provider. As such, it is important that you contact an attorney as soon as you know or should have known that you are a victim of a medical error so that an attorney may work quickly to investigate your claim before the deadline to file suit expires. These investigations tend to require more time than other civil matters due to the requirement of having expert testimony to support your claim before filing suit.t
