What damages may be available in a South Carolina hospital negligence case?

Recoverable damages may include medical expenses for additional treatment necessitated by negligent care, lost income and diminished earning capacity, pain and suffering, emotional distress, permanent disability, and wrongful death damages when negligence contributes to a patient’s death. South Carolina currently doesn’t cap compensatory damages in most medical malpractice cases, though punitive damages are subject to certain limitations. An attorney can assess the full range of applicable damages in your case.
