Frequently Asked Questions
Is a bad medical outcome always malpractice?
+No. You must show the provider departed from the accepted standard of care and that the departure — not just an unfortunate outcome — caused your injury.
Do I need an expert witness for my case?
+Generally yes. Georgia requires an expert affidavit supporting most medical malpractice lawsuits, and expert testimony is typically needed to prove the standard of care and causation.
How long do I have to file a medical malpractice claim in Georgia?
+Generally 2 years from the date of the injury under O.C.G.A. § 9-3-71, though special rules can apply for cases involving children — it's important to confirm your specific deadline early.
