Most wrongful death claims in South Carolina will not have a cap on the amount of recoverable damages. One exception is medical malpractice cases, where the law limits the total available non-economic damages to $350,000 against an individual provider and $1.05 million total against multiple providers. Additionally, punitive damages cannot exceed three times the total actual damages or up to $500,000. There are other caps for governmental healthcare providers.
