Where to File in South Carolina
South Carolina gabapentin cases may be filed in the District of South Carolina (Charleston, Columbia, Greenville, or Florence) or in South Carolina circuit courts. Richland County Court of Common Pleas in Columbia handles complex pharmaceutical litigation. South Carolina follows modified comparative fault with a 50% bar. The state caps non-economic damages in some cases (S.C. Code Ann. § 15-32-530) but product liability claims may be exempt from certain caps. South Carolina's 3-year SOL provides reasonable filing time.
