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.
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.
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.
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.
• ER & Hospital Errors – Mistakes in diagnosis, triage, or treatment that delay care or
worsen outcomes.
• Birth Injuries – Labor and delivery negligence resulting in lifelong disability or maternal
harm.
• Surgical Mistakes – Wrong-site surgery, retained instruments, or complications due to
poor technique.
• Medication Errors – Incorrect prescriptions, dangerous drug combinations, or dosage
mistakes.
• Nursing Home Negligence – Bedsores, falls, abuse, or improper medication in long-term
care settings.
Depending on the case, liability may fall on:
• Individual physicians or surgeons
• Nurses or anesthesiologists
• Hospitals, clinics, or urgent care centers
• Diagnostic labs or imaging centers
• Pharmacists or medical staff
We explore all parties involved to maximize your recovery.
A successful malpractice claim may include:
• Past and future medical costs
• Lost income and earning potential
• Pain and suffering
• Disability or disfigurement
• Emotional distress
• Wrongful death damages (if applicable)

insurers have legal teams on standby to fight claims. That’s why you need a firm with the
resources, experience, and relentless commitment to justice.
