Medical malpractice cases arise when an individual suffers injury or death as a result of a medical professional’s or institution's negligent care. If a person suffers an injury that would have been avoided by using ordinary care under the circumstances, medical malpractice has occurred.
Although Georgia is home to some of the finest hospitals and physicians in the country, unfortunately medical malpractice still occurs. Injuries resulting from negligent medical care can lead to loss of wages, medical expenses, permanent impairment and disability, and dramatic losses in quality of life. Because these injuries can be so devastating, it is important for victims and their families to consult a lawyer who is experienced in Georgia medical malpractice law. The Atlanta medical malpractice attorneys of Warshauer Poe & Thornton, P.C. can review your claim and advise you of your legal options.
The specific practice areas listed below include some of the more common types of medical malpractice.
While the birth of a child is a happy event for every family, some infants are seriously injured during the birthing process. A small percentage of newborns suffer injuries that will affect them for the rest of their lives. Our Atlanta, Georgia, medical malpractice attorneys have handled cases in which obstetrical mistakes and improper fetal monitoring led to avoidable birth trauma. This experience provides us with the skill you need for effective representation of your interest and the interest of your child in any birth injury case.
Surgical mistakes can lead to permanent, severe injuries or death. Examples of errors include surgical devices being left in the patient, surgery being performed on the wrong part of the body, and errors causing paralysis or permanent loss of function. Post-operative infections can be a product of surgical error.
Misdiagnosis can lead to unnecessary medical treatments or result in loss of the opportunity for effective treatment of a dangerous condition. Both misdiagnosis and failure to diagnose can be grounds for a medical malpractice case.
Gastric bypass surgery has been offered as a long-term weight loss solution for the morbidly obese in the past few years. This is a complicated surgery that requires the surgeon pay very close attention to technique and to the patient’s post-operative condition. If you have suffered serious complications from gastric bypass surgery, your records should be reviewed to determine whether you received proper care. Consult one of our Atlanta, Georgia, medical malpractice attorneys for a review of your claim.

If you have a loved one who is in the care of a nursing home and you suspect negligence, you may want to consult one of our experienced medical malpractice lawyers to see if you have a valid claim.
Medication errors are among the most common forms of medical malpractice. Examples of mistakes include physicians prescribing the wrong drug, nurses administering incorrect dosages, or pharmacists providing the wrong medication.
