Atlanta Medical Malpractice Lawyers Serving All of Georgia
Medical malpractice is a disturbing topic of conversation. It would be downright terrifying if more people knew about the admission offered by the American Medical Association itself – that it is the nation’s third-leading cause of death. What’s frustrating is that it may be difficult to even be sure that your malady was caused by malpractice.
In our experience, most doctors are worth their weight in gold — most incidents of malpractice come from the same few doctors, over and over again. Even a good doctor, however, can suffer a lapse in judgment that adds up to professional misconduct. When that happens, you are entitled to full compensation, and we know the most effective ways of seeking it.

The most important decision you are likely to make is your first one – which medical malpractice law firm in Atlanta you will choose to represent you.

FAQ
-
What Type of Damages Are Available Under Georgia Personal Injury Law?
The state allows three different types of damages, depending on the facts of the case:
- Economic damages: Medical bills, lost work time and just about any loss you can easily count.
- Noneconomic damages: Intangible damages such as mental anguish and loss of enjoyment of life.
- Punitive damages: An additional amount awarded to punish the defendant for particularly outrageous conduct (most cases do not qualify for punitive damages, however).
-
I Heard That Georgia Has Placed a Cap on Non-Economic Damages in Medical Malpractice Cases. Is That True?No, not anymore. A few years ago, the state capped non-economic damages in medical malpractice cases, but the Georgia Supreme Court declared the law unconstitutional (based on the state constitution).
-
How Often Are Medical Malpractice Claims Settled Out of Court?
Almost all of the time. According to the U.S. Bureau of Justice, 93 percent of all medical malpractice claims are resolved through private settlement. Health care providers don’t like to go to court, because they consider juries unpredictable and because they don’t want to publicize claims against them.
