Purdy Law, LLC supports you with medical and dental malpractice claims

When you place your wellbeing in the hands of a doctor or dentist, you expect them to take care of you and, if you’re sick or hurting, to make you better. And when something happens to violate that trust, the results can be life-altering.

Healthcare providers, including doctors and dentists, have lawyers and experts who are skillful at defending them against claims of negligence. That’s why you need an experienced attorney of your own to protect your rights and guide you through a complex legal system.

Why You Need an Experienced Malpractice Attorney

South Carolina has strict requirements for lawsuits that claim professional negligence. To begin, the victim must file a Notice of Intent with the court. The victim also needs to find a medical expert who will provide a statement, or affidavit, to support the claim.

The Clock is Ticking on Your Malpractice Claim

In a malpractice or negligence case, you have a set amount of time after the incident occurs to file a claim. That period is called the Statue of Limitations, and after it passes, your right to claim compensation is lost. The Statute of Limitations varies depending on details of the case like:

  • Whether negligence occurred in a private practice or government-owned facility
  • When negligence was discovered
  • The state where the incident occurred

Acting quickly is essential. If you think that you have a medical or dental malpractice case, contact an experienced attorney to discuss your options before time runs out.
