Have You Experienced Medical Malpractice?

Health care professionals are trained to follow specific practices that are considered safe and appropriate. Medical malpractice occurs when they deviate from those standards in a way that harms the patient. A medical malpractice attorney can evaluate your case to see if your specific experience qualifies according to the law. Medical mistakes can happen in many kinds of situations, but some of the most common examples of medical negligence include:

MISDIAGNOSIS

If the diagnosis failure was entirely avoidable and happened because of some form of negligence, the health care professional is responsible for the consequences. For example, when a doctor doesn’t perform the appropriate diagnostic tests that were required for the symptoms, doesn’t properly examine the patient’s medical history, or doesn’t interpret test results correctly.

SURGERY MISTAKES

At the accident scene, exchange contact information with any other parties involved in the accident, including witnesses. You’ll want to ask for their names, phone numbers, and for insurance information of the parties directly involved in the accident, and any other information that may help your future claim. Also, remember to take pictures of the scene before your bike or cars are moved. Detailed pictures that accurately portray the damages from the accident will help your claim later on.

INCORRECT MEDICATION

Medication errors are one of the most common forms of medical malpractice. Patients can be prescribed the wrong drug, be administered an incorrect dose, or be given a drug that is not safe because of their allergies. Doctors can also fail to properly review the patient’s medical history to account for potential interactions with their other medications.

 

 

Get Justice For Your Medical Malpractice or HIPAA Injury

Being awarded compensation, either by going to trial or through the settlement process, will depend on having evidence and expert witnesses that can demonstrate medical negligence. Anita Lamar is a medical injury attorney with the skills and resources to help you determine your eligibility and strengthen your case. The damages associated with medical malpractice can include medical expenses for hospital stays, physical therapy, and prescription medication. You’re also eligible for lost wages from not being able to work while recovering or from having a permanently diminished earning capacity.  Medical malpractice cases are very complicated, but Lamar Law Office LLC is a medical malpractice law firm that can support you every step of the way.

What is HIPAA?

Most medical malpractice cases center on how a patient was physically harmed because of a medical mistake. But there are also cases where the harm was caused by a violation of the patient’s privacy rights. HIPAA (otherwise known as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) is a privacy law that applies to all medical providers in the country and limits the disclosure of medical information. The state of Georgia also has its own specific laws regarding privacy and medical records. These laws are important because your medical information is private and potentially sensitive. Unauthorized disclosure is a betrayal of your trust that can have serious consequences. HIPAA violations have led to embarrassment, family conflict, and even discharge of employment. If your privacy rights were not respected by a medical professional or facility, a HIPAA lawyer at Lamar Law Office LLC can help you review your legal options.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. In the state of Georgia, medical malpractice claims generally have to be filed within 2 years of when the injury or act of negligence took place. There are a few rare exceptions, but this is generally the rule. Beyond the fact that there’s a statute of limitations, gathering evidence for a medical malpractice lawsuit is very time-consuming. You are better off contacting a medical malpractice lawyer and getting the process started in a timely manner.

No, you can still file. Consent forms are required for many invasive procedures, which is why patients sign them. But you are absolutely not giving the doctor permission to be negligent. If your medical injury lawyer establishes that the doctor deviated from standards of care, you can still receive compensation for medical malpractice.

Under Georgia law, these types of deaths are subject to both medical malpractice laws and wrongful death laws. The surviving spouse is entitled to sue for compensation on behalf of the deceased patient. If there is no spouse, the children of the patient could become the plaintiffs. If there is no spouse and no children, then the parents of the deceased could bring the lawsuit.

It’s definitely possible. However, the vast majority of medical malpractice cases end in a negotiated settlement. In some cases, the lawsuit may actually reach the stage of a court trial, but the parties will still agree to a settlement before it’s time for the verdict.
