Georgia medical malpractice claims typically arise when patients are injured by the negligent acts of hospitals or health care professionals, including doctors, nurses, psychiatrists, dentists and surgeons. Because medical malpractice can often lead to serious, life-altering consequences for the patient and their family, the Georgia legal system allows the injured patient to bring a claim against the medical professional or institution that caused the injury. When someone is proven to be legally responsible for another’s injuries, they may be required to pay financial compensation to the victim. Monetary damages, such as compensation for lost wages and medical bills, attempt to place the injured person in the same situation they were prior to the injury.

Medical Malpractice Law in Georgia

In Georgia, to have a solid medical malpractice lawsuit, the plaintiff must prove that the negligent party failed to live up to the standard of care expected among medical professionals. In other words, the plaintiff must show that the hospital or doctor failed to exercise the same care that another healthcare professional or institution would have used in a similar situation. Georgia medical malpractice law also requires that before the filing of a medical malpractice lawsuit, the plaintiff must file, along with the complaint, an affidavit from a medical expert identifying at least one negligent action or omission.
