Can I sue a nursing home for injuries caused by neglect in South Carolina?

Yes. Families in South Carolina can file a civil lawsuit against a nursing home that caused or allowed injury through negligence or abuse. South Carolina generally allows three years from the date of the injury to file a personal injury claim (SC Code § 15-3-530), although specific circumstances may affect that timeline. A nursing home abuse attorney can evaluate the details of your situation and help determine the best path forward.
