If you believe you have a valid medical malpractice case in Augusta, Georgia, and you want to take legal action against the party you think was at fault, you shouldn't hire just any attorney or law firm you come across. That's because medical malpractice cases are some of the most complex. One misjudgment is all it takes to jeopardize a valid claim.
In this State, for example, the burden of proof for individuals seeking compensation for medical malpractice is usually very high. Even before you can proceed with the case, you must first obtain an "Affidavit of Expert". That aside, you'll need to gather solid evidence, interview witnesses, keep up with strict deadlines, evaluate damages, and, most importantly, devise a legal strategy to accomplish all these tasks.
Everything can seem overwhelming, and that's why some victims end up settling for less than they deserve, only to regret it further down the line. That shouldn't happen to you now that you are here. An Augusta medical malpractice lawyer from our army of over 1,000 attorneys might be able to represent you. With more than $25 billion already recovered for the injured and many other cases pending in and outside the courtroom, rest assured you've come to the right place.

What Are the Elements of a Medical Malpractice Claim in Augusta, Georgia?
In such cases, you must establish four key elements: duty, breach of duty, causation, and damages. What this means is that you must demonstrate that a healthcare professional owed you a duty of care, violated that duty and that this breach directly led to identifiable damages.
Does Every Undesirable Medical Outcome Count as Malpractice?
The truth is that not every undesirable medical outcome constitutes malpractice. Medical malpractice involves negligence or a deviation from the standard of care that directly causes harm to the patient. That is why establishing a link between the healthcare provider's actions and the adverse outcome is essential for you to stand a chance of recovering damages.
Against Whom Can I File a Medical Malpractice Claim?
You may be able to file a claim against any healthcare professional you believe was responsible for malpractice. This includes but is not limited to doctors, nurses, and other practitioners. Hospitals, clinics, and medical facilities may also be held liable, depending on the unique circumstances of your case.
Do I Really Need an Attorney?
If you believe that you were injured because of the negligence of a healthcare provider, hiring an attorney increases your chances of obtaining a favorable outcome. The right attorney can:
- gather evidence;
- consult experts in the medical field and beyond;
- identify whoever is responsible for your injuries and losses;
- file a claim, and
- negotiate with insurance companies on your behalf.
Throughout this process, you can focus on recovering without worrying about dealing directly with insurance companies, claims adjusters, or even the defendant in the case.
What if I Cannot Afford an Attorney?
Our medical malpractice attorneys work on a contingency fee basis. This is just a fancy way of saying they only get paid if you win your case. This fee is typically between 30 to 40 percent of the compensation awarded.
