Limitation issues are complex legal matters and it is essential to obtain advice from an experienced South Carolina medical malpractice attorney. Medical malpractice claimants must bring suit within three years from the date of the occurrence or the date when the occurrence should have been discovered, but in no case more than six years from the date of the occurrence. Foreign object cases may be brought within two years from the date of discovery.
The statute of limitations is tolled during the claimant's minority; however, the period may not extend beyond seven years from the date of the occurrence, or more than one year after the child attains the age of majority, whichever period is shorter. The statute is also tolled during a claimant's insanity, but the tolling period cannot extend more than five years from the date of the occurrence or one year beyond the date the disability ceases.
If you are the innocent victim of a clinical mistake then you may be able to recover compensation.
