    Is This Your Situation?

    This page is for patients seriously harmed by negligent care from hospitals, clinics, or individual providers across Georgia, after careful screening of the medical facts.

    Overview

    Not every bad medical outcome is malpractice — but when a provider's care fell below accepted standards and caused harm that wouldn't otherwise have occurred, you may have a claim. We invest in expert medical review before filing, so your case is built on solid ground.

    Liability Considerations

    Medical malpractice claims require proving a provider breached the accepted standard of care and that the breach caused harm that wouldn't have otherwise occurred. Georgia requires an expert affidavit (O.C.G.A. § 9-11-9.1) supporting most claims, and a generally 2-year statute of limitations (O.C.G.A. § 9-3-71) applies.

    What to Do Now

    1. Seek a second medical opinion for ongoing treatment
    2. Request complete copies of your medical records
    3. Document your symptoms and how they've changed
    4. Keep records of all related expenses
    5. Call us before discussing the case with the provider or hospital

    Deadlines and Legal Framework

    Georgia requires most medical malpractice lawsuits to include an expert affidavit (O.C.G.A. § 9-11-9.1) establishing at least one way the provider deviated from the standard of care. We retain qualified experts early to meet this requirement.

    Mistakes That Can Hurt Your Case

    We see these missteps regularly in Trion medical malpractice cases. Avoiding them protects your claim.

    1. Waiting too long to consult a lawyer as the statute of limitations approaches
    2. Signing a release without legal review
    3. Discussing the case directly with the provider's insurer
    4. Assuming a bad outcome alone proves malpractice
