McGowan, Hood & Felder LLC
Medical Malpractice Attorneys

Whether in the operating room, emergency room, or doctor’s office, physicians and nurses are expected to adhere to standard treatment protocols. When doctors and other health care specialists deviate from certain diagnostic procedures and treatment methods, symptoms can be misidentified, warning signs ignored, and life-threatening mistakes made. The medical malpractice lawyers at McGowan, Hood & Felder, LLC work closely with medical professionals and experts in determining what went wrong and how it could have been prevented. When necessary, we subpoena hospital records and interview witnesses in order to expose negligence and mistakes on the part of doctors.


To schedule a free consultation and discuss your case, contact South Carolina medical malpractice lawyers at McGowan, Hood & Felder, LLC. Our Rock Hill, Columbia, and Anderson offices represent clients throughout Charleston, Greenville, Florence, Sumter, Myrtle Beach, Spartanburg, and Orangeburg.

When You are a Victim of Medical Malpractice

Because of changes in tort law, medical malpractice in South Carolina requires a preliminary finding of negligence on the part of a doctor before a case can be taken to court. As your medical malpractice attorneys, we will work closely with you and medical experts in preparing your case for a preliminary finding of physician negligence. Afterward, we also consult economic impact analysts to determine the financial implications of your injury. We present findings detailing your need for future medical treatment, medical equipment, in-home care, and the value of lost earnings and quality of life.

Holding Doctors Accountable

Medical malpractice leaves families devastated by life-changing injuries and loss. When a person’s health or life is on the line, there simply is no room for error or excuses. That is why we are dedicated to vigorously pursuing negligent doctors and demanding compensation for our clients.
