Medical Malpractice Attorney in Macon

Medical professionals are required to uphold a certain standard of care when interacting with their patients. This standard is set by the medical community and allows everyone to receive the same level of care, regardless of their location. When the treatment provided by the medical professional doesn’t meet the standard of care, and the patient becomes injured or dies, medical malpractice may have occurred.

For example, say an individual goes to see the doctor for pneumonia. The doctor correctly diagnoses the illness, but writes an incorrect dosage on the patient's prescription. The patient, not knowing of the error, takes the medication and has to be hospitalized.

Investigate your case: Our medical malpractice lawyers can conduct a thorough investigation of your case to determine if your care met the acceptable standards. We can review your medical records, examine similar cases, and collect other relevant evidence to make your case as strong as possible.

Consult medical experts: Our firm has developed working relationships with some of the most respected medical experts in Georgia. Their testimony is often crucial in medical malpractice cases.

Negotiate with insurance companies: The insurance company of the at-fault party could offer you a settlement to keep the case from going to court. Our medical malpractice attorneys can review this settlement and determine if the compensation offered is the full amount you deserve.

Take your case to trial: If the offered settlement isn’t appropriate, we aren’t afraid to take your case to trial. You shouldn’t settle for less than you deserve, and neither will we. Our medical malpractice attorneys are eager to secure your compensation.

Due to the broad scope of the medical field, medical malpractice cases can vary greatly. However, any interaction between a patient and a medical professional that results in injury or death could be a malpractice case. Here are a few examples of common medical malpractice cases:

• Delayed diagnosis/failure to diagnose
• Surgical/anesthesia errors
• Failure to accurately interpret tests
• Failure to examine patient’s medical history
• Postoperative negligence
• Medication errors
• Hospital/emergency room malpractice
