Overview
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.
Why This Practice Area Matters
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.
Common Causes
- Delayed or Missed Diagnosis
- Surgical Errors
- Medication Errors or Overdoses
- Anesthesia Errors
- Failure to Monitor a Patient
- Failure to Obtain Informed Consent
Compensation You May Recover
- Past and Future Medical Expenses
- Lost Wages and Earning Capacity
- Pain and Suffering
- Loss of Enjoyment of Life
- Life Care Planning Costs
Case Guide
Medical malpractice cases require early, thorough review by qualified medical experts to determine whether the standard of care was breached and whether that breach caused your injury. We invest in that review before we ever file, so your case is built to withstand scrutiny.

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.
