They can help a patient bring actions against: nursing homes and staff, hospitals and staff, doctors, nurses, emergency clinics, walk-in clinics, technicians, specialists, surgeons, anesthesiologists, nursing aides, physical therapists, pharmacists, psychologists, chiropractors, and dentists.

Medical malpractice may be applicable to a broad variety of injuries such as: loss of vision, brain injuries, birth injuries, burn injuries,, spinal cord injuries, prescription or medication errors, defective drugs, cerebral palsy, peripheral nerve injury, blindness, stroke, hemorrhage, heart attack, life-threatening infection, vascular injury, obstetrics injury, bedsores (decubitus ulcer), MRSA (antibiotic-resistant infection), disfigurement, surgical error, misdiagnosis or failure to diagnose, fracture, death, and negligent post-operative care.

Chris Dietz explains, “Medical malpractice law essentially determines the standards that doctors follow when they are taking care of their patients. Just like any other professionals, doctors need to perform their jobs at the best of their abilities. However, unlike other professionals, if doctors fail to perform to the standard or make mistakes, the outcomes can potentially ruin the lives of the patients.”

This is a popular area of law and is typically classified under personal injury law. Most types of injuries and accidents typically claim that one party was negligent, which resulted into the injury or harm. With medical malpractice cases, the patient has to show that the doctors generally have a duty of practicing medicine in a particular way, and the doctor had failed to fulfill or breached their duty of care, resulting in harm to the patient.

There are a number of factors that can be used to show medical negligence or malpractice. These include: a pre-existing doctor-patient relationship, which means there was an agreement between physician and patient; the physician’s actions were negligent; such negligence or malpractice had directly resulted into the injury; and the injury resulted into specific damages.

In Atlanta, examples of medical malpractice include the medical professional’s: failure to treat an illness in a timely manner, failure to diagnose a serious illness, failure to supervise an inexperienced healthcare staff, failure to supervise the patient, failure to provide the necessary medication, failure to administer anesthesia correctly, and failure to exercise precaution during a surgical procedure.
