Legal Question in Medical Malpractice in South Carolina

Accident In Hospital Cause of Death

In July 2000 my sister's husband fell from his hospital bed and died from head injuries. After years of haggling we have been told that we do not have a case. We beleive we do. What is the statue of limitations to file a lawsuit for medical malpractice?

Re: Accident In Hospital Cause of Death

There is a statute of limitations of either two or three years depending on whether the hospital is a private entity or state entity. Either way, it looks like the statute of limitation has expired. Feel free to call me at 800-273-2889 if you wish to discuss further.
