Charleston, South Carolina, Medical Malpractice Attorneys
If you are the victim of medical malpractice, your original health issue may have been left untreated or poorly treated, and you likely now have additional medical problems resulting from the negligence of your caregivers. If you entrusted your health to a medical professional and received negligent care in return, you may be entitled to compensation through a medical malpractice lawsuit.
Experienced and Knowledgeable Medical Malpractice Representation
Medical treatment can be difficult to fully understand, and medical malpractice laws are extremely complex. Medical errors add further complications because involved parties must gain a full understanding of both the appropriate treatment that should have been provided and the inappropriate treatment that was actually given.
At the Hughey Law Firm LLC, we collaborate with the appropriate experts for your case, that we know from our experience, and examine the medical aspects of a potential malpractice claim and use our experience to determine the damages involved and potential recovery. Lawyer Nathan Hughey worked for several years as an insurance defense attorney and defended doctors, nurses, hospital, clinics, and other care providers against claims of medical malpractice. Since founding his own firm, Mr. Hughey has represented people just like you – people who have suffered the effects of medical malpractice. He has a thorough understanding of both sides of medical negligence claims, and he has had two medical malpractices cases go to the South Carolina Supreme Court, where his clients won both decisions.
In one recent case, a young woman's medical tests revealed breast cancer, but she was not informed of this finding for 15 months. In another case, a man's X-ray results revealed a two-centimeter nodule on the upper lobe of his left lung. The radiologist recommended additional tests, but the attending physician conducted no additional evaluations. In each case death resulted, and our firm was able to recover a substantial award for the victims' families.
