Let us handle your complex case for you so you can focus on healing.
Do I Have a Case?
Our medical malpractice attorneys understand how devastating it can be to sustain an injury due to carelessness resulting in expensive long-term medical care, disability, drastic reduction in quality of life, psychological harm, and more.
Your right to compensation will depend on the circumstances surrounding your care. Medical malpractice cases are notoriously difficult to prove for a number of reasons. For example, it’s not always easy to determine whether a medical error occurred and what constitutes medical negligence.
Unfortunately, a poor health outcome does not, on its own, constitute a medical malpractice case. For example, if you went for surgery on your left knee, and it did not end your pain, that would not constitute a medical malpractice claim. However, if you went in for surgery on your left knee, and due to a clerical error the hospital performed the operation on your right knee, that could be grounds for a claim. In Georgia, a plaintiff (the injured person) must prove that the doctor or medical professional in question breached the standard of care.

Negligent Medical Care Injury Lawyers Serving Macon
Understanding Medical Malpractice
Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare professional provides a patient with reckless or negligent care. Claims arising out of medical malpractice are not necessarily restricted to doctors and can extend to physician assistants, nurses, therapists, dentists, and other medical specialists. Medical malpractice may include:
Delayed or misdiagnosis: Prompt diagnosis is crucial to your medical care and ultimate recovery. When a doctor fails to timely diagnose or wrongly diagnose the patient, they can miss out on life-saving treatment and suffer injury or death. In such cases, the patient or their family may be able to pursue a medical malpractice claim against the doctor who made the error.
Surgical errors: Practicing surgeons regularly hold the lives of patients in their hands and mistakes made during surgery can have catastrophic results. Surgical errors can include leaving instruments within the patient’s body, operating on the wrong part of the body, and using unclean instruments. Anesthesia errors can also result in permanent injury, brain damage, or death.
Childbirth injuries: Many types of fetal injuries can be caused by medical practice, including brain injuries, fractured bones, brachial plexus injuries, and others. Such injuries can be caused by negligence during prenatal care and childbirth.
Medication errors: Prescription drug errors injure millions annually. Errors can be made during the prescribing, administering, or filling stage.
Time Deadlines
We urge anyone who has been injured by reckless or negligent conduct of another to call a personal injury lawyer as soon as possible after the incident. Each state has specific laws about how long you have after an incident to bring a claim (also called “statute of limitations”).
While Georgia’s statute generally gives injured people two years from the date of the incident to file, this timeline can vary depending on the facts of each unique case, making your timeline longer or shorter. Once the legal time deadline passes for your case, you can no longer receive any money in relation to your claim.
While filing a lawsuit might be the furthest thing from your mind as you come to terms with your negligent or reckless healthcare experience, we urge you not to delay calling a personal injury lawyer to ensure that you know and understand your legal rights and how to protect those rights.
In the case of wrongful death
If negligent care by a medical professional has led to a death, the victim’s family may be able to pursue a wrongful death claim. Learn more about who is eligible to file a wrongful death claim in our FAQs.
What Compensation Could Be Available to You?
Patients injured at the hands of medical professionals could be eligible to receive financial compensation for various damages, including past and future medical costs, lost wages and diminished earning potential, loss of consortium, diminished enjoyment of life, emotional distress and in some cases, punitive damages.
A Common Occurrence
Medical malpractice can present itself in multiple ways. Thousands of cases are reported each year that were cited as being caused by surgeries, misdiagnosis, overprescription, poor aftercare, premature discharge, and more. In the United States, medical error results in 10% of all deaths. The reality of medical malpractice claims is that:
- 21% of people have experienced medical errors
- Approximately 33% of medical malpractice claims are misdiagnosis errors
- Nearly 4,000 surgical errors occur yearly in the US
- Between 15-18,000 lawsuits are filed each year alleging malpractice or negligence
