What You Should Know About Medical Malpractice in Georgia

Medical malpractice is a serious issue that can have devastating consequences for patients and their families. When a healthcare provider’s negligence causes harm, Georgia law allows victims to seek compensation. At Benton & Benton Law, based in Monroe, GA, we have extensive experience handling medical malpractice cases and have secured millions in compensation for our clients.

Understanding Medical Malpractice

Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare professional fails to meet the standard of care, leading to injury or death. Common examples include:

• Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis
• Surgical errors
• Medication errors
• Birth injuries
• Failure to obtain informed consent

Georgia law requires plaintiffs to prove that the medical provider’s negligence directly caused their injuries. This can be a complex process, making it crucial to work with experienced attorneys who understand the nuances of malpractice claims.

Key Deadlines for Filing a Claim

In Georgia, the statute of limitations for medical malpractice cases is generally two years from the date of the injury. However, exceptions exist, such as for injuries involving minors or cases where the injury wasn’t immediately discoverable. Missing these deadlines can bar you from seeking compensation, so it’s essential to act promptly.
