Medical Malpractice

Atlanta, Georgia Medical Malpractice Attorneys

“First, do no harm.”

It’s a primary principle of medical ethics. The basic oath doctors and other medical professionals take says that, as a medical professional, you don’t treat a cold or a devastating injury. You treat a person whose life and health are the number-one priority.

If you’ve ever checked into a hospital and felt you were treated like a number, you wanted the medical staff to care about every little detail of your fight to be well and whole. It’s important to pay attention to the specifics of medicines, treatments, and therapy. If the doctors, physician’s assistants, nurses, respiratory therapists, emergency room personnel, and even dentists you trust to keep you healthy, pain-free, injury-free, and disease-free are negligent, careless, or just plain wrong, the personal cost is very high.

Unfortunately, there are many types of medical malpractice and medical negligence in Fulton County hospitals, doctor’s offices, emergency rooms, clinics, treatment facilities, dentist’s offices, and nursing homes today:

• Misdiagnosis, wrong diagnosis, or the failure to diagnose a disease or condition
  
• Switched medications, wrong dosages, or mixing drugs that interact negatively
  
• Prescribing a medication the patient stated would cause allergic reaction
  
• Removal of healthy organs due to misdiagnosis or error
  
• Failure to conduct a proper examination
  
• Errors, complications, and mistakes in childbirth, labor, and delivery
  
• Birth injuries and other injuries associated with C-sections
  
• Drugs or medical devices that are defective
  
• Failure to obtain proper consent to test or treat
  
• Failure to inform a patient of risks associated with tests, medicines, or treatment
  
• Damage to nerves, spinal cord, or organs, or paralysis as a result of surgery
  
• Infection resulting from negligence, poor standards of cleanliness, or improper treatment for sepsis
  
• Failure to monitor or supervise a patient properly

If something like this has happened to you, you don’t have to face the hospital’s intimidating legal team alone. It is imperative that you consult experienced and aggressive legal representation immediately.
