How Can An Atlanta Medical Malpractice Lawyer Help Me?
Medical errors cross the threshold of a “simple mistake” to malpractice if the doctor (or another healthcare provider, like a nurse or anesthesiologist) fails to deliver the accepted level of care that other professionals would have provided. Malpractice also includes misdiagnosis, either diagnosing you with a medical condition you do not have or failing to accurately determine the condition that is afflicting you. You may suffer unnecessary medical procedures or have missed access to early treatment that could have provided a better outcome.
We pursue cases against any medical professional who fails their duties. Our attorneys have recovered compensation for birth injuries, nursing home neglect and abuse, and botched surgeries.
Compensation In A Medical Malpractice Claim
If you’re facing another round of medical treatments and still wondering how you’re going to pay for your first procedure and subsequent ones, you may be relieved to know that a settlement in a medical malpractice claim can cover the cost of your original medical treatment, plus pay for procedures and doctor’s appointments you require to rectify the harm medical malpractice caused you.
We also fight for the full amount of unearned wages if you miss time at work, plus any other material losses, like travel to and from medical appointments. You’re also entitled to demand fair condemnation for the pain and suffering of the medical procedure and your emotional trauma and stress. If the malpractice resulted in permanent disability, scarring, or disfigurement, then we also demand compensation for a diminished quality of life.
If the malpractice incident was especially egregious, we also pursue punitive damages, which are punishing in nature rather than compensatory. Punitive damages are intended to punish, especially negligent medical care providers, and serve as a deterrent to others who may cut similar corners.
