Medical Malpractice Claim Basics
Medical malpractice claims are among the most complicated in the Georgia legal system. The victim must prove that the provider failed to meet the standard of care and that that caused the injury. Also, the victim must determine the responsible party. Sometimes, the responsible party isn’t the health care provider; instead, it is the medical facility. While the victim works to build a case, the medical malpractice insurance company will do the same. The company will strive to prove that the defendant was not negligent or that the negligence did not cause the injury. While the company hopes to avoid paying compensation, it might offer a small settlement to make the case disappear. Dealing with the insurance company is difficult, so it’s wise to consult with a medical malpractice attorney before moving forward.
When you consult with an attorney, you don’t necessarily have to file a lawsuit. Instead, you have the option of settling the case out of court. Your attorney will go over the medical malpractice case with you and help you determine the best course of action, so you can get the compensation you deserve.
Medical Malpractice Accidents
Medical malpractice occurs in Atlanta for numerous reasons. Often, these cases are the result of malpractice during birth that leads to injuries, such as brain trauma or fractures. Malpractice claims also occur when providers fail to properly diagnosis patients, causing their medical problems to worsen. Misdiagnosis and failure to treat can also occur, as can prescription errors. In each of these cases, it’s only malpractice if the provider was negligent in breaching the standard of care. Proper representation is necessary when investigating and filing medical malpractice claims. Hiring an attorney before filing a malpractice claim can help people hold medical professionals and facilities accountable.
