Act Quickly to Meet the Deadlines on Birth Injury Lawsuits in South Carolina

There are deadlines you must meet to file a medical malpractice lawsuit in South Carolina. In general, S.C. Code of Laws § 15-3-545 gives you:

• Three years from the date of the malpractice; or
• Three years from the date you discovered the malpractice injury

If you do not file suit by the time this deadline passes, you could lose the right to do so. However, there are exceptions when it comes to birth injuries. Many birth injuries take time to recognize and diagnose. It could take a year or more before your child starts showing symptoms.

However, because there are tight deadlines in some cases, we encourage you to act quickly once your child receives a diagnosis or you recognize there might be an issue related to their preventable birth complications.

Examples of Preventable Birth Injuries

To recover compensation in a birth injury lawsuit requires legal representation from attorneys with both a medical and technical understanding of the causes and results of relevant birth injuries.

Some common examples of birth injuries that may support a medical malpractice claim include:

• Cerebral palsy
• Shoulder dystocia
• Brachial plexus palsies
• Traumatic brain injury (TBI)
• Negligent prenatal care
• Complications from breech births
• Failure to monitor respiratory distress or other life-threatening infant medical conditions
• Failure to perform a needed C-section

Birth injury suits involve unique medical issues and seek to determine why the acts of a hospital and its medical professionals resulted in an injury to the infant. Our South Carolina birth injury attorneys can investigate whether the medical team handling your pregnancy complied with all relevant protocols and standards.

We also look into whether the doctor and care team made appropriate and accurate decisions in monitoring both the child and mother’s health during pregnancy and childbirth. When services rendered during the birthing process are deficient, we are ready and willing to deliver the necessary legal representation to help your family seek the just compensation that you deserve.
