MEDICAL MALPRACTICE LAWSUITS
Each year in the United States, there are between 15,000 - 19,000 new medical malpractice lawsuits filed against doctors, hospitals and other providers.
Medical negligence is an ugly part of the reality that is healthcare in our state.
South Carolinians can suffer serious injuries or death as the result of the negligent actions by doctors and other medical professionals. Those wrongdoers deserve to be held accountable for their action or inactions.
Physician, nurse and hospital errors can leave patients with debilitating physical injuries. In addition to physical pain and suffering, large medical bills caused by repeated surgeries and ongoing physical therapy can cause financial strain. An injury may result in a permanent disability that makes it difficult to work and earn a living. Physical injuries can also make it painful or impossible to engage in the activities of daily living you once enjoyed. This lost enjoyment of life can take a mental and emotional toll not only on the injured person, but on entire families.
Jones Law uses the civil justice system to help victims of medical malpractice start putting the pieces of their lives back together. There is no way to go back and undo the physical and emotional suffering that that has been endured, so the alternative provided by our justice system is to seek monetary compensation.
Jones Law understands that no amount of money can make up for the physical, mental, and emotional pain and suffering caused by a medical error/hospital error. However, monetary compensation can help alleviate the financial strain caused by your injuries. Our goal is to help our clients obtain the compensation they need to try to rebuild their lives.
Jones Law has been a part of recovering millions of dollars in compensation for its clients. By holding medical professionals financially accountable for the harm they cause, we sends a clear message that substandard medical care will not be tolerated in South Carolina. We believe that holding wrongdoers accountable can help prevent similar injuries from happening to other families.

Unfortunately, medical errors remain a leading cause of death and severe injury in this country. There are various types and causes of medical malpractice:
- Labor and delivery errors: We represent families who suffer the injury to a newborn due to medical errors.
- Hospital mistakes: Hospitals are supposed to be safe places where we go to heal. Unfortunately, some leave with serious injuries.
- Misdiagnosis and failure to diagnose: A delayed or missed diagnosis can result in missing a life-threatening condition at an early and treatable stage.
- Surgery errors: There are some mistakes, such as wrong-site surgery, that should never happen.
- Prescription drug errors: The wrong drug or the wrong dose of a drug can result in serious side effects.
At Jones Law, we know how to approach and win medical malpractice cases.

Civil lawsuits in South Carolina are subject to deadlines that are known as a "statute of limitation"
