South Carolina Medical Negligence Attorneys
Parham, Smith & Dodson, LLC is one of four law firms in the state whose primary focus is plaintiff representation in medical malpractice litigation. And we are the only such firm in upstate South Carolina.
Many firms won't take medical negligence cases because of the considerable up-front costs and high burden of proof to hold medical providers accountable. Our Greenville-based firm has successfully sued doctors, surgeons and hospitals in the Piedmont region and throughout South Carolina.

The experienced trial lawyers of Parham Smith & Dodson have the financial resources, demonstrated courtroom skills and technical medical knowledge for these complex and vigorously defended cases. We have proved medical negligence in a range of malpractice lawsuits:
- Diagnosis and Treatment Errors — Misdiagnosis leading to harmful treatment or failure to diagnose cancer or serious conditions, resulting in permanent injury or death.
- Surgery Malpractice — A slip of the knife, wrong operation, objects left inside the patient, anesthesia errors and post-surgical neglect.
- Medication Errors — Wrong drug, wrong dose or harmful cross-reactions.
- Birth Injury — Errors in pre-natal care, labor and delivery, or post-natal negligence leading to brain injury, nerve damage or infant death.
- Other actions, policies or decisions constituting physician malpractice, hospital malpractice or nursing malpractice.
Uncommon Experience and Medical Knowledge
We don't take medical negligence cases “on the side.” It is the primary focus of our firm. Our malpractice team includes three proven litigators in Mike Parham, Blake Smith and Bill Dodson. These attorneys have 75 years of experience in plaintiff representation and millions of dollars in verdicts and settlements, including wrongful death. We also have a Legal Physician's Assistant Consultant on staff who helps document the injury, prove the link to a medical mistake and determine reasonable compensation for the lasting physical, financial and emotional damage.
Not every bad outcome is malpractice. There must be serious injury or death, and evidence that the accepted standard of care was breached. Medical malpractice cases often hinge on expert testimony and the ability to explain technical concepts to a jury. We bring in respected medical witnesses and file suit only after we have thoroughly analyzed the medical records and concluded that it makes sense financially to proceed.
