Frequently Asked Questions
Medical malpractice occurs when a doctor, hospital, nurse, or other healthcare provider fails to meet the accepted standard of care, resulting in injury, illness, or wrongful death. If negligence caused your harm, you may have the right to pursue compensation.
You may have a valid claim if a healthcare provider's negligence directly caused your injury or worsened your condition. An experienced medical malpractice attorney can review your medical records and determine whether you have a strong case.
In most cases, Georgia law allows two years from the date the injury occurred to file a medical malpractice lawsuit. Certain exceptions may apply, so it is important to speak with an attorney as soon as possible.
Depending on your case, you may be able to recover compensation for medical expenses, lost income, future treatment costs, pain and suffering, rehabilitation, disability, and wrongful death damages when applicable.
Not always. Many medical malpractice claims are resolved through settlement negotiations. However, if the insurance company refuses to offer fair compensation, our attorneys are fully prepared to take your case to trial.
Buckhead Law handles medical malpractice cases on a contingency fee basis. That means you pay no upfront fees, and we only get paid if we successfully recover compensation for you.
