Proving causation is critical to any taser abuse lawsuit. The defense may challenge whether the taser caused the harm suffered by the victim. With victims often having pre-existing medical conditions, plaintiffs must carefully provide testimony, including expert medical testimony, explaining how the actions of the officer caused the harm to the victim.

In the South Carolina Tort Claims Act, S.C. Code § 15-78-40, the government waives immunity for tort liability in the same manner and to the same extent as private individuals under like circumstances. Although the SC Tort Claims Act does not waive immunity for actual malice or intent to harm, a claim involving intent to harm could be pursued under § 1983.
