Where demand and legal capacity are furthest apart
Figure 1. Counties left empty have no lawyer establishments at all, so the ratio is undefined rather than large. This is a market map, not a merit map, establishment counts do not distinguish a medical malpractice practice from a solo doing closings, and nothing here suggests where claims exist.

Where the birth did not happen in the county
22 South Carolina counties recorded births in 2024 and contain no hospital confirmed to provide inpatient labour and delivery, covering 10,647 births. Berkeley at 3,035 and Pickens at 1,234 are the largest.
Those 10,647 South Carolina births happened somewhere else. For the 3,035 families in Berkeley, the defendant facility, the treating clinicians and the home address can sit in three different counties, so a plan weighted by residence is weighted against the wrong thing and the records request crosses a county line before it starts.
| County | Births 2024 | Lawyer offices |
|---|---|---|
| Berkeley County | 3,035 | 68 |
| Pickens County | 1,234 | 14 |
Spartanburg is the gap with volume behind it
Spartanburg County recorded 4,107 births in 2024 against 92 lawyer offices, which is 44.6 births per office against a national median of 34.3. Charleston recorded 4,965 births against 496 offices, 10.0 per office. Similar volume to Spartanburg, 4.5 times the lawyers per birth.
Two more South Carolina counties clear the same bar with real volume: Berkeley at 44.6 on 3,035 births, and Aiken at 55.1 on 2,426 births.
What produces signed birth injury cases in South Carolina
| Step | What happens | Using |
|---|---|---|
| 1 · Find your ceiling | Measure review capacity before anything upstream is sized | Capacity planner |
| 2 · Rebuild attribution | Every inquiry carries source through to the case management system | Landing pages and forms |
| 3 · Plan geography from data | Bid modifiers from South Carolina county births, delivery capacity and legal capacity | South Carolina data |
| 4 · Derive the bid ceiling | Backwards from expected fee, your conversion rates, and screening cost | Keyword cost model |
| 5 · Build screening feedback | Categorise every screen-out and feed it back weekly | Screening support |
| 6 · Report to signed case | Cost per signed case at the top of every report | The model |
| If this is true of your firm | Then | Instead |
|---|---|---|
| Your team cannot review more inquiries than it already gets | Additional demand produces a queue, not cases, and ages the good inquiries in it | Raise capacity first, model it |
| You cannot yet trace an inquiry to a signed matter | You will not be able to tell whether anything worked, in this state or any other | Fix attribution, it is weeks of work and no media budget |
| You do not intend to take South Carolina matters directly | A demand programme is the wrong instrument entirely | Build referral relationships, the playbook |
Clinical measures and legal measures are never joined on this site. Adverse-event rates describe medicine; litigation describes a legal process. Where both appear together it is to describe a market, not to suggest that one predicts the other.
