Medical Malpractice in Georgia — What Makes a Case, And What Doesn’t

In this episode of Peachtree Injury Talk, attorney Jordan Jewkes discusses medical malpractice law in Georgia, explaining that malpractice occurs when a medical professional violates the standard of care, causing significant injury. Jordan clarifies the difference between unavoidable complications and negligence, noting that known risks of procedures do not constitute malpractice. He outlines common errors leading to claims, such as misdiagnosis, surgical mistakes, and retained surgical objects. While dental malpractice is governed by similar standards, it is often harder to prove due to typically less severe outcomes. Proving malpractice requires expert testimony to demonstrate breach of care, causation, and significant injury, making these cases challenging and costly compared to general personal injury claims. Georgia law requires expert affidavits before filing suit to prevent frivolous claims. Jordan advises those suspecting malpractice to act promptly due to strict statutes of limitation and to consult qualified malpractice attorneys early for proper case evaluation.
