Creating Options for Victims of South Carolina Doctors’ Failure to Perform Necessary Tests
When improper testing causes a wrong diagnosis, and catastrophic illness, injury, or death results, our lawyers demand accountability
A doctor’s inability to diagnose a serious medical condition can rob their patient of critical time and treatment options, and lead to serious personal injury or wrongful death. When a patient enters a doctor’s office, a hospital, or an emergency room in pain or with a serious injury or medical condition, medical professionals must conduct the proper testing to determine the cause and extent of the problem. Failure to conduct those tests, conducting them improperly, or misreading their results can lead to misdiagnosis, medication errors, worsened condition, and death for which the treating physician may be liable.
If a patient suffers injury or death because a hospital’s cost-cutting policies kept its staff from conducting or ordering tests that could have prevented or improved the outcome, the hospital may be liable as well. That is where we come in. At McGowan, Hood, Felder & Phillips, LLC, you work with a team of experienced South Carolina medical negligence lawyer who know how to build a successful case for compensation. Trust in us when you need help.
