Augusta Georgia Medical Malpractice Claims Lawyers

Augusta Georgia Medical Malpractice Claims Attorneys

People trust medical professionals with their lives every day with the expectation that they will receive reasonably good medical care. While the majority of doctors, nurses and hospitals provide such, some fail to live up to people's — or their occupation's — expectations. According to a recent study conducted by the Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences, about 98,000 people are killed every year due to medical malpractice. At the Augusta, Georgia, law firm of Burnside Wall, we represent people in medical malpractice claims after they or a loved one has fallen victim to a medical error.

Know That You Have Rights

Many people who are injured because of medical malpractice never seek financial compensation for their injuries. It is estimated by the National Academy Press that medical malpractice costs the country between $17 billion and $24 billion every year. If you or a loved one has been injured or killed because of doctor negligence or other medical malpractice, you should contact one of our lawyers for a no-cost and no-obligation initial consultation. We can explain your rights, assess your case and determine if you have a claim for which compensation is due.

Types of Medical Malpractice Claims

Serious injury can result from all manner of medical mistakes committed by doctors, nurses and other medical professionals at such institutions as the Medical College of Georgia, University Hospital, Eisenhower Medical Center, Doctors Hospital and Joseph M. Still Burn Center.

Since 1978, our firm has been representing people throughout Georgia in medical malpractice claims related to:

• Surgical errors and complications
• Thyroid and Parathyroid Surgery
• Misdiagnosis or failure to diagnose
• Medication errors
• Birth injuries

While no medical professional can guarantee success, he or she must live up to a professional standard of care. When the failure to adhere to this standard injures you, you deserve financial compensation and justice.
