Medical Malpractice Puts Your Health on the Line
Modern medicine is a highly technical field. Doctors, nurses, hospital staff, and other medical professionals can make a wide variety of mistakes even during routine procedures. Medical malpractice could be as obvious as accidentally leaving foreign objects in a patient after surgery or as subtle as failing to consider drug interactions in prescribing treatment. When a medical professional’s work falls beneath the standard of care, you may be entitled to compensation for the injury you suffer as a result of their negligence. However, medical malpractice cases are often complicated and can be difficult to prove. You and your personal injury attorney will need to work with skilled medical experts to establish what the doctor or hospital did wrong and prove the damages you suffered as a result.
Georgia Doesn’t Give Patients Much Time to Collect for Doctors’ Negligence
Medical malpractice often isn’t obvious right away. It may take weeks, months or even years before you realize that the pain or symptoms you are experiencing is because of a mistake made by your doctor. However, in Georgia, you have a relatively short window to file a medical malpractice claim compared to other types of personal injuries. You may have as little as one year to identify the problem, determine who or what caused it, and get an expert to confirm it was due to medical malpractice. It is essential that you speak to a personal injury attorney as soon as you believe you have a medical malpractice claim, so that your team can connect you with the right experts and get your case filed before the deadline.
