Medical Malpractice
Doctors, nurses, surgeons, dentists, anesthesiologists, plastic surgeons, hospital staff members, emergency medics, and other health care providers are obligated to provide you with a certain level of medical care when treating you for injuries, illness, or even just a general checkup. At the very least, they are not supposed to hurt you or cause your condition to grow worse. Failure to fulfill this professional obligation is grounds for a Georgia medical malpractice claim or lawsuit.

Georgia Medical Malpractice
Georgia’s statute of limitations for filing a medical malpractice lawsuit is two years from the date of injury—unless the medical malpractice victim is a minor, in which case the statute of limitations doesn’t begin running until he or she turns 7. If the medical malpractice incident involves a medical professional who left a foreign object in the patient, the personal injury plaintiff has one year from the time the item was discovered to file a Georgia medical malpractice lawsuit.
Examples of Medical Malpractice:
- Surgical Errors
- Wrong Diagnosis
- Delayed Diagnosis
- Failure to Diagnosis
- Birthing Malpractice
- Anesthesia Malpractice
- Medication Errors
- Obstetrician/Gynecologist Negligence
- Dental Malpractice
- Injuries caused by Defective Medical Devices or Dangerous Drugs
- Hospital Negligence
Medical malpractice can lead to serious injuries, including cardiac arrest, organ failure, nerve damage, incurable cancer, birthing injuries (cerebral palsy), traumatic brain injuries, infections, and wrongful death. Correcting a medical error may require more surgeries, or, in cases where a medical diagnosis was delayed, chemotherapy or invasive procedures that could have been avoided.
