Trusting a doctor or hospital with your health is supposed to make you safer, not hurt you. When a provider departs from the accepted standard of care and it harms you, medical malpractice law gives you a way to hold them accountable — and we handle these cases with the seriousness they deserve.
⚖️ Legal Information
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.
❓ 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.
