Medical Malpractice

Georgia Medical Malpractice Lawyers

Anyone in the medical profession, including doctors, nurses, and other professionals, has a responsibility to uphold certain standards of care. If they fail to do so, and serious injuries or wrongful deaths result, they could be held liable for any and all damages, including pain and suffering, medical bills, lost wages, and more.

At Brown & Scoccimaro, P.C., our attorneys can meet with anyone, free of charge, to discuss and evaluate a potential claim involving medical malpractice. Our lawyers are paid by a contingency fee -- which is contingent upon and when our client obtains a financial recovery by settlement or judgment.

We can help people throughout Georgia who have been victimized by:

• Birth injury: cerebral palsy, Erb's palsy, hypoxia
• Misdiagnosis
• Failure to diagnose cancer or other serious conditions
• Surgery mistake, surgical error
• Medical negligence
• Prescription drug error
• Nursing home abuse
• Emergency room error
• Brain damage
• Shoulder dystocia

We should warn you, however, that it has traditionally been difficult to sue doctors in Georgia. After the landmark case Dow Chemical vs. Daubert, new tort reform laws were passed that further restricted a patient's ability to reasonably recover in medical malpractice lawsuits.

But do not let this discourage you -- if you believe you or a loved one has suffered a serious or catastrophic injury because of a negligent medical professional, you should see an attorney for a free initial consultation as soon as possible. The sooner you get the help of a medical malpractice lawyer, the better will be the attorney's ability to preserve evidence and build a winning case.
