What Is the Difference Between Medical Malpractice and Personal Injury?
Though medical malpractice is a category of personal injury, these lawsuits differ in regards to the parties named in the complaints and the legal requirements for proving the claims. Medical malpractice cases in South Carolina name healthcare professionals or facilities, alleging a failure to provide an expected standard of care. Proving this requires medical malpractice attorneys to perform extensive research and discovery as compared to car accidents, slip-and-fall cases, or other personal injuries. Medical negligence allegations are highly disputed by the healthcare professionals and facilities, and these cases require affidavits and expert witnesses to verify the claims, which are requirements above and beyond what personal injury lawsuits typically require.
