⚖️ Legal Information

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
1Is 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.
2Do 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.
3How 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.
