Medical malpractice harms thousands of South Carolina patients every year — through misdiagnosis, surgical errors, medication mistakes, and hospital negligence. Greenville and Greenville County are home to Prisma Health Greenville Memorial Hospital — the Upstate's only Level I Trauma Center and a major regional referral center — as well as Bon Secours St. Francis Hospital. When these institutions fail their patients, the consequences can be life-altering. South Carolina's medical malpractice framework requires a Notice of Intent to File Suit, an expert affidavit, and mandatory mediation before you can even file suit — making early legal action essential. TopDog fights to get you every dollar you deserve.
Prisma Health Greenville Memorial Hospital and Bon Secours St. Francis Hospital serve the communities where our clients live. We know these facilities, the standards they are held to, and how to hold them accountable when they fall short. Those failures cause real damage to Greenville families and we fight to get injured people the care and money they deserve.
Hospitals and their insurers across Greenville County use South Carolina's NOI, expert affidavit, and mandatory mediation requirements as procedural tools to protect themselves. We are ready to leverage the justice system in Greenville County courts to fight back. You were already failed once. That will not happen again.
IMPORTANT SOUTH CAROLINA LEGAL INFORMATION — MEDICAL MALPRACTICE
Statute of Limitations: 3 years from the act or from discovery of injury, with a 6-year absolute statute of repose under S.C. Code § 15-3-545. For a foreign object left in the body, 2 years from discovery. Minors: tolled to age 19 (up to 7 years for minor).
Notice of Intent to File Suit (NOI) Required (Critical): Before filing a medical malpractice lawsuit in South Carolina, you must contemporaneously file with the court a Notice of Intent to File Suit AND an expert affidavit from a qualified medical expert under S.C. Code § 15-79-125. Filing the NOI tolls all applicable statutes of limitations. The expert affidavit must identify at least one specific negligent act and the factual basis for the claim.
Mandatory Mediation: Within 90 days and no later than 120 days after serving the NOI, the parties must participate in a mediation conference (up to 60-day extension for good cause). Only if mediation fails can a formal lawsuit be filed.
Non-Economic Damages Cap: South Carolina caps non-economic damages in medical malpractice cases at $580,461 per single provider/facility and $1,741,383 aggregate (2025 figures, adjusted annually for inflation under § 15-32-220).
This is a brief summary of commonly applied laws in the jurisdiction. There are often different laws that apply to different circumstances. Once you hire TopDog, your attorney will advise you on the applicable laws.
Hospital insurers in South Carolina use the NOI process and mandatory mediation as procedural barriers. The non-economic damages cap applies but economic damages are not limited. TopDog Law and its co-counsel fight for the full recovery allowed under South Carolina law.
