Frequently Asked Questions
What is the statute of limitations for medical malpractice in Georgia?
In Georgia, you generally have two years from the date of the injury or from when you discovered the injury to file a lawsuit. There is a maximum of five years from the date of the negligent act, with some exceptions for minors or foreign objects left in the body.
Do I need an expert affidavit to file a medical malpractice case in Georgia?
Yes, Georgia law requires you to file an affidavit from a qualified expert witness with your complaint. This affidavit must state that the expert believes your case has merit and that the healthcare provider failed to meet the standard of care.
What damages can I recover in a Georgia medical malpractice case?
