Medical Malpractice Attorneys in Georgia

We trust our doctors, nurses and other medical professionals to make good decisions on our behalf. And most do. But sometimes, medical professionals make mistakes so serious that the care they provide doesn’t meet the accepted standards of the health care community. When they do, those mistakes are called medical malpractice. Doctors, nurses, nurse practitioners, dentists, psychologists, therapists or any other type of medical care provider could commit medical malpractice. Medical malpractice doesn’t just mean performing a procedure incorrectly, although that is one example. Other types of medical malpractice include:

• Failing to diagnose or misdiagnosing a serious disease or condition.
• Administering or prescribing the wrong medication, or the wrong amount of medication.
• Failing to prevent infections.
• Leaving something inside the patient’s body during surgery.
• Performing the wrong procedure.
• Not getting informed consent before a procedure.
• Some types of injuries to a mother or her baby during a birth.

Why Contact a Georgia Medical Malpractice Lawyer?

Of course, most providers do their best to provide care that lives up to the medical community’s standards. But when they fail in that duty, patients can die or suffer permanent injuries. A wrong or delayed diagnosis means the patient loses critical treatment time as the disease progresses. Unsterilized instruments or hands can cause a serious infection to someone recovering from a surgery or another illness. Combining the wrong medications or giving too much of the right one can kill patients or leave them with irreversible disabilities. Medication errors alone kill one person in the United States each day and injure 1.3 million a year.

Unfortunately, these injuries can come with severe financial costs, in addition to the physical pain and the radical life changes they cause. In a disability case, the victim may need a lifetime of surgeries, physical therapy, home nursing or other very expensive care. In a wrongful death, the family may face funeral costs and the sudden loss of an income, as well as an uncertain future without the care and companionship of a loved one. Even injuries that aren’t necessarily permanent might require therapy and follow-up medical visits to properly treat. Most families simply can’t afford these costs on their own. A Georgia medical malpractice lawsuit can help them get the care they need and provide for the future.
