Understanding Medical Malpractice

Medical malpractice occurs when a medical professional or health care provider fails to provide a patient with the appropriate standard of care, resulting in injury or death. Medical malpractice can take many forms, including misdiagnosis, surgical errors, medication errors and birth injuries. Victims have the right to pursue legal action when a health care provider’s negligence leads to harm.

Filing A Medical Malpractice Claim In Georgia

In Georgia, victims should be aware of certain unique aspects of medical malpractice claims. For example, to pursue a medical malpractice claim in Georgia, the victim must first file an expert affidavit along with the complaint. This affidavit must be from a qualified medical expert who can attest that the health care provider’s actions fell below the accepted standard of care.

Another important aspect of a medical malpractice claim in Georgia is the statute of limitations. Victims have two years from the date of the injury to file a claim. However, if the damage is not immediately discovered, the victim has up to five years from the date of the injury to file a claim. It is important to note that medical malpractice cases can be complex, so it is crucial to seek legal assistance as soon as possible.
