⚖️ Legal Information
Georgia law generally extends the filing deadline for medical malpractice claims involving young children — for children under age five, a claim may often be brought until the child’s fifth birthday (O.C.G.A. § 9-3-73), subject to an outer statute of repose. Confirming your child’s exact deadline is important, so don’t wait to speak with an attorney.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
1How do you prove a birth injury was caused by malpractice?
We work with maternal-fetal medicine and pediatric experts to review labor and delivery records and establish whether the standard of care was breached and caused the injury.
2How long do we have to file a birth injury claim in Georgia?
Georgia generally extends filing deadlines for young children, often until close to the child’s fifth birthday in many circumstances, but it’s important to confirm your child’s specific deadline as soon as possible.
3What if my child needs lifelong care?
We work with life-care planners and medical experts to project future therapy, medical, and educational needs so your child’s settlement or verdict reflects their full lifetime of care.
Birth injuries like cerebral palsy, Erb’s palsy, and oxygen deprivation often mean a lifetime of care. We build your case around what your child will actually need, for as long as they need it.
