For 20 years, experienced Greenville SC medical malpractice lawyer Thomas Creech has strongly advocated for patients and their families in cases involving careless medical providers.
After you’ve been a victim of medical malpractice, you may not know where to turn or what to do next. First, understand that patients should always receive medical care that meets the standard of care. Medical malpractice is inexcusable and should never occur. No patient should ever be the victim of bad medicine, whether a poor surgical procedure or medical diagnosis.
We See You. We Hear You. We Help You.
Medical Malpractice is Unacceptable
According to the CDC, medical malpractice is the 3rd leading cause of death in the U.S.
It’s bad enough to have been harmed by a medical provider you trusted to do the job right. But now, you’ve got injuries and pain.
Your life has changed for the worse, and it may be permanent. You deserve compensation for the harms and losses caused by the medical malpractice you’ve suffered.
Accountability is essential, too. You can hold a negligent medical provider accountable by seeking compensation for the damage done to you.
