Anytime a healthcare professional fails to provide an adequate level of care, skill or diligence to a patient, it is considered medical malpractice.

Many Georgia residents are unaware that there are different types of medical malpractice.  Medication errors are one of the most common types of medical malpractice. Medication errors can occur if a doctor prescribes the wrong drug or if a pharmacist mislabels the medication. Nurses are also capable of medication errors; there have been many situations where a nurse gives too little or too much of a medication. Medication errors can cause severe injuries and, occasionally, they can lead to fatalities. Surgical errors are a common type of Georgia medical malpractice, as well. Surgical errors can occur from anesthesia errors, doctors operating on the wrong body part, the use of unsterilized equipment or if a tech leaves surgical tools in the body. Patients that have been misdiagnosed by a negligent doctor, nurse practitioner, or a healthcare professional may also be eligible to file a medical malpractice claim.

Individuals that have been harmed after receiving substandard care may be eligible to file a medical malpractice claim. There is a statue of limitations for Georgia citizens to file a medical malpractice lawsuit. It is imperative for injured patients to discuss their legal options with a skilled attorney. The Eichholz Law Firm offers medical malpractice case evaluations at no charge.
