What Is Medical Malpractice?

Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare professional or facility provides care that falls below the accepted standard, causing harm to the patient. Under Georgia law a provider who fails to use reasonable care and skill may be held liable for any resulting injuries.

Common Examples of Medical Negligence

While every case is different, and since your situation is unique, it’s best to speak with an experienced medical malpractice attorney to fully understand your legal rights. In the meantime, here are the most common medical malpractice cases we see, with quick explanations to help guide you:

• Misdiagnosis or Delayed Diagnosis: Failing to recognize or properly identify a condition, leading to delayed treatment or worsening illness.
  
  
• Surgical Errors: Performing the wrong procedure, operating on the wrong body part, leaving surgical tools inside the patient, or causing internal injury.
  
  
• Medication and Prescription Mistakes: Administering the wrong drug or dosage, or prescribing medications that cause harmful interactions.
  
  
• Anesthesia Errors: Mistakes before, during, or after surgery that can cause brain injury or death.
  
  
• Birth Injuries: Negligence during labor or delivery resulting in injuries to the baby or mother.
  
  
• Failure to Treat: Ignoring symptoms, discharging a patient too soon, or failing to refer to a specialist.
  
  
• Hospital Negligence: Inadequate staffing, lack of monitoring, or failure to prevent infections.
  
  

Medical malpractice is not just a mistake; it’s a breach of duty that can change your life forever. Our attorneys know how to expose these failures and demand accountability from those responsible. Our goal is to recover the compensation you need to receive treatment and rebuild your life after a preventable medical error.

What Damages Can I Recover in a Medical Malpractice Claim?

Victims of medical negligence are entitled to compensation for both their financial losses and their pain and suffering. Our team pursues full recovery for the following types of losses:

• Medical Expenses: All past, current, and future treatment related to the malpractice, including surgeries, hospital stays, medication, therapy, and assistive care.
  
  
• Lost Income: Wages lost while you recover, and compensation for reduced earning capacity if you can’t return to work.
  
  
• Pain and Suffering: Compensation for physical pain, loss of enjoyment of life, and the daily impact of your injuries.
  
  
• Emotional Distress: Anxiety, trauma, or depression caused by medical negligence.
  
  
• Rehabilitation and Long-Term Care: Physical therapy, rehabilitation, or home health support to aid your recovery.
  
  
• Wrongful Death Damages: If you lost a loved one to medical negligence, we fight for funeral costs, medical bills, loss of support, and loss of companionship.
  
  

Depending on the circumstances, punitive damages may also be available in Georgia if a provider’s conduct was willful or egregious. At Jamie Casino Injury Attorneys, we calculate every loss, both present and future, to make sure you recover what you truly deserve.

What Evidence Is Needed to Prove Medical Malpractice?

Medical malpractice cases depend on powerful evidence. Our attorneys work with medical experts, forensic specialists, and investigators to help prove what went wrong. 

Evidence of medical malpractice often includes:

• Medical Records: Diagnosis reports, treatment plans, prescriptions, and progress notes.
  
  
• Hospital Documentation: Lab results, imaging, surgical records, and discharge summaries.
  
  
• Expert Testimony: Medical professionals who can explain how your provider’s care failed to meet the accepted standard.
  
  
• Witness Statements: Family members or other witnesses who can describe your care and its aftermath.
  
  
• Photos or Videos: Visual evidence showing the severity or progression of your injuries.
  
  
• Provider History: Past complaints or malpractice claims involving the same doctor or facility.
  
  

We handle every step of the investigation and build your case from the ground up. When you let us shoulder the legal burdens, you can focus on healing. When you partner with our August medical malpractice attorneys, we’ll handle the fight for you.

How Long Do I Have to File a Medical Malpractice Lawsuit in Georgia?

Georgia’s statute of limitations for medical malpractice is generally two years from the date of the injury or the date you reasonably discovered the malpractice. However, some exceptions exist, for example, in cases involving minors, wrongful death, if a foreign object is left in the body, or fraud, which can extend or shorten this timeframe.

Because these deadlines can vary, it’s critical to contact an experienced medical malpractice attorney in Augusta as soon as possible. Waiting too long could mean losing your right to pursue justice, no matter how strong your claim is.

Steps You Can Take After Suspected Medical Malpractice

If you believe you were harmed by a medical error, take these steps to protect your health and your claim:

1. Seek Medical Care Immediately: Get treatment from a trusted provider who can address your injuries and document your condition.
   
   
2. Follow All Medical Advice: Attend every follow-up appointment and keep detailed notes about your symptoms and recovery.
   
   
3. Contact a Medical Malpractice Lawyer: Don’t wait to get legal help because evidence can disappear quickly, and the filing deadline clock is ticking.
   
   
4. Avoid Talking to Insurance Adjusters: Insurers may twist your words or pressure you into a low settlement. Let your attorney handle all communication.
   
   
5. Limit Social Media Activity: Anything you post online could be used to challenge your credibility or minimize your injuries.
   
   

These steps will help protect your future health while strengthening your legal case and allowing your legal team to act fast to preserve evidence.

Frequently Asked Questions About Medical Malpractice in Georgia

How much can you sue for medical malpractice in Georgia?

There’s no universal cap on compensatory damages in Georgia medical malpractice cases. The amount you can recover depends on your medical costs, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other related losses. Punitive damages are capped at $250,000 unless special circumstances apply.

How do I prove medical malpractice?

You must establish that a provider owed you a duty of care, breached that duty by failing to meet accepted medical standards, and caused you measurable harm as a result. Our attorneys can use expert testimony and detailed medical evidence to prove every element of your claim.

How long does a medical malpractice case take?

These cases are often complex and can take months or even years to resolve, depending on the severity of your injuries and how willing the insurance company is to negotiate. We push for results as quickly as possible while making sure you’re fully compensated.

Can I still sue if I signed a consent form?

Yes. A consent form does not excuse negligence. It only acknowledges that you understood potential risks. By giving your consent to medical treatment, you did not agree that your doctor or medical facility was allowed to act carelessly or make avoidable errors.

What if the hospital is partly to blame?

Hospitals can be held liable for negligent employees, inadequate policies, or unsafe conditions. Depending on who contributed to your harm, we’ll determine whether to pursue the facility, the doctor, or both.
