Medical Malpractice
In Georgia, medical malpractice occurs when a doctor, hospital, nursing home or other healthcare provider fails to exercise the standard of care and professional skill required for a particular medical situation. Every year thousands of people are injured or even die as a result of the negligence of doctors and other medical professionals.
Examples of common types of medical malpractice
- Foreign objects like sponges left inside patients during surgery
- Failure to diagnose/treat infections, leading to disfigurement, amputation and/or death
- Inadequate nursing care causing decubitus ulcers (bed sores)
- Nursing home abuse
- Failure to timely diagnose cardiac problems, such as heart attacks
- Failure to diagnose stoke
- Failure to diagnose cancer
- Birth trauma causing brain injury or death
