Atlanta
Auto Accident Attorneys
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.
