Representing Medical Negligence Victims in South Carolina
Patients in Hilton Head are uniquely situated. Certain of the doctors who serve them are semi-retired. They may not keep up with their professions they way they used to, and they may take on care that they are no longer qualified to provide.
If you or someone you care about has become the victim of medical malpractice on Hilton Head Island or in the Lowcountry area of South Carolina, the best way to protect your interests is to work with an experienced, professional and ethical lawyer. At the Law Office of Thomas C. Taylor, LLC, our founding attorney — Tom Taylor — uses 25 years of experience to represent the victims of medical malpractice.
We are focused on achieving the best possible results for our clients, regardless of the challenges they face:
- Misdiagnosis — Failure to appropriately diagnose and treat ailments like infections, heart attacks, stroke or cancer
- Surgical errors — Botched surgeries, including hospital-acquired infections, retained objects, unnecessary surgery and surgery on the wrong body part
- Birth injuries — Injuries during prenatal care in pregnancy, or during labor or delivery that often stem from failure to monitor an infant — injuries that include Erb's palsy, cerebral palsy, brain damage from lack of oxygen and fractures
- Emergency room errors — Failure to treat in a timely manner, misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis
How do I Know if I Have Been the Victim of Medical Malpractice?
Just because you had a bad experience with a doctor does not automatically mean that you have been the victim of medical malpractice. There is a "standard of care" in the medical field. In order to be liable for medical malpractice, your doctor must have breached that standard of care, failing to take actions that other, similar health care providers in similar situations would have taken.
If you think that medical malpractice may have occurred, talking with a lawyer can help you know for sure. At the Law Office of Thomas C. Taylor, LLC, we partner with highly regarded medical experts, review medical records and interview witnesses to gain a complete picture of the situation. We also do an in-depth analysis of all the laws and facts that may affect you.
You Must Take Action Quickly
South Carolina, like most states, has a fairly short statute of limitations for bringing a medical malpractice action. If you or a family member has been a victim of medical malpractice, contact an attorney as soon as possible to protect your rights.
