Statistics from the health care industry indicate approximately one medical malpractice case arises every 43 minutes, 19 percent of those situations resulting in significant permanent injury. The majority of states see an average of $20 to $40 million dollars in annual malpractice payouts with South Carolina falling into this category as well. In an effort to assist those suffering from personal injuries due to medical malpractice and other forms of negligence in the Upstate of South Carolina, the Dick James Law Firm has launched an increased effort to protect the rights of injury victims.
