Doctors, dentists and other medical specialists have an obligation to conduct themselves professionally. When they do not, patients in their care can be seriously injured. Gone are the days when hospitals, doctors and nurses could do 'No Wrong'. Sadly, today's fast pace and focus on volume, rather than quality, often lead to sub-standard medical care. Many mistakes are simply swept under the carpet with the hope that they will go unnoticed. Patients are commonly discharged with negligently caused infirmities and told "... sometimes these things just happen." Physicians, nurses, and hospitals are not perfect. They make mistakes just like the rest of us. Therefore, like the rest of us, they should be held responsible for their mistakes.

Common instances of medical malpractice include wrong-site surgery, objects left inside patients, medication errors, and failure to diagnose time sensitive illnesses until it is too late.

Unfortunately, such errors are often avoidable and result from medical professionals who are inadequately trained or just too busy to be thorough. In a medical malpractice case we must prove that the medical provider did not meet the applicable standard of care in your or your loved one's particular case in order to recover monetary damages.

Georgia law requires us to produce an expert who will confirm under oath that your medical provider did not meet the applicable standard of care required under the specific circumstances. Our trial attorneys will find the appropriate medical experts who have the expertise to make such a determination.
