Medical Malpractice

If you or a loved one has been harmed by a healthcare provider’s negligence, I’m here to help. At the Law Offices of Jones Andrews, Inc. in Columbia, SC, I represent clients from across South Carolina in serious and complex medical malpractice cases.

Whether it’s a surgical error, a medication mistake, a birth injury, or nursing home neglect, medical malpractice can take many forms—but every case demands accountability. I’ve built a track record of standing up to hospitals, doctors, and healthcare organizations to fight for justice on behalf of injured patients and their families.

Examples of Medical Negligence

Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider breaches the accepted standard of care, causing injury or death. Not every bad outcome is malpractice, but when negligence is involved, we help clients pursue justice.

Common examples include: 

  • Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis

  • Emergency room errors

  • Surgical mistakes (including wrong-site surgeries)

  • Anesthesia errors

  • Failure to recognize fetal distress

  • Pharmacy and medication errors

  • Post-operative infections and sepsis

These failures can lead to catastrophic results such as brain damage, paralysis, organ failure, or death.

Understanding Liability

Determining who is responsible for your injuries is a complex process. Liability may fall on:

  • Doctors or surgeons

  • Nurses or attending staff

  • Hospitals or clinics

  • Pharmacists

  • Medical device manufacturers

Sometimes multiple parties share responsibility. We work with expert witnesses and investigators to identify the causes and hold every negligent party accountable.

Types of Medical Malpractice Cases We Handle

At the Law Offices of Jones Andrews, Inc., we handle a wide range of cases, including:

  • Cancer misdiagnosis 

  • Birth injuries (such as cerebral palsy and Erb’s palsy)

  • Nursing home abuse or neglect

  • Veterans Affairs medical negligence

  • Implicit bias leading to substandard care

We are committed to exposing failures in care and fighting for those who have been harmed as a result.

What Is My Case Worth? 

The value of a medical malpractice case depends on the severity and long-term impact of the injury.

We seek compensation for:

  • Medical expenses and future care

  • Lost income and earning potential

  • Pain and suffering

  • Emotional distress

  • Loss of companionship or enjoyment of life

  • In wrongful death cases, families may also be entitled to funeral costs and other damages.
