Medical Malpractice
Georgia Medical Malpractice Lawyers
When medical professionals fail to uphold their duty of care, patients suffer. Medical malpractice can lead to life-altering injuries, permanent disability, and even death. At Carli K. Bryant Law, we represent individuals and families throughout Georgia who have been harmed by the negligence of doctors, nurses, hospitals, and healthcare providers.
What Is Medical Malpractice?
Medical malpractice occurs when a provider’s actions—or inaction—fall below the accepted
standard of care in the medical community and cause injury or death. This includes:
• Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis
• Surgical errors or wrong-site surgery
• Anesthesia mistakes
• Birth injuries (e.g. cerebral palsy, Erb’s palsy)
• Medication or dosage errors
• Failure to monitor or follow up
• Hospital-acquired infections
• Negligent emergency room care
Not every bad outcome is malpractice, but if a provider’s negligence led directly to harm,
you may have a legal claim.

Georgia’s Medical Malpractice Laws
Medical malpractice claims in Georgia are governed by strict procedural rules:
• Statute of Limitations – You typically have 2 years from the date of injury (or discovery) to
file suit. In some cases, the deadline can be extended, but early action is critical.
• Expert Affidavit Requirement – Georgia law requires an affidavit from a qualified medical
expert outlining the standard of care breach when filing a malpractice suit.
• Cap on Non-Economic Damages – Georgia currently places no cap on damages for pain and
suffering after the state Supreme Court ruled such caps unconstitutional.
We work with certified medical experts to build strong cases that meet Georgia’s legal
requirements.
Proving Medical Negligence in Georgia
To win a malpractice case, we must prove:
1. A provider-patient relationship existed.
2. The provider breached the accepted medical standard of care.
3. That breach directly caused your injury.
4. You suffered damages as a result (physical, emotional, or financial).
Our firm handles these investigations thoroughly, reviewing medical records, timelines, and
expert opinions to ensure your case is airtight.
