When you decide that filing a lawsuit for Georgia malpractice is the right option for you, an attorney can help you organize your expenses and determine what kind of damages you should seek for your suffering. Consult with a lawyer from a firm that focuses on medical malpractice in Georgia, one who can assess the facts of your case and help you move on with your life. 

Damages for medical malpractice generally fall into one of two categories: economic damages and non-economic damages. Economic damages include all of the expenses you incur as a result of the malpractice that can be quantified – the cost of any procedures you have to undergo to reverse or treat the damage suffered, medications, therapy, treatment, hospital fees, etc. Economic damages also include any lost income from time you have to take off work or if you’ve been permanently disabled and no longer can work.

Non-economic damages cover those costs that cannot be quantified – pain and suffering, mental anguish, loss of consortium, etc.

Although we often hold doctors and medical professionals to a high standard, mistakes can happen. Speak with an attorney who will fight to rectify the wrongs perpetrated against you and fight to pursue the compensation you need and deserve.
