Georgia Medical Malpractice Requirements: Georgia Lawyer Discusses Requirements Prior to a Lawsuit

View More Injury Videos & Articles

In Georgia, there are some very important Georgia Medical Malpractice Requirements to follow in lawsuits.

At the time of filing the lawsuit, the injured person must also file a Georgia expert affidavit from an expert in the field explaining exactly what the treating physician did wrong. It is important to understand that if there were several different medical safety rule violations by different treating doctors and nurses that caused the injury, there must be an affidavit from an expert in each field that is involved. It can be extremely expensive and time consuming to file a medical malpractice claim and can, also, seriously implicate Georgia’s Statute of Limitations.

If the injured party in a medical malpractice case does not file the affidavits at the time of filing the lawsuit, the case can be thrown out and the injured person may not have their day in court. Because of this, it is important that someone who has been injured due to medical malpractice discuss their case with a Georgia Medical Malpractice and Injury Attorney as soon as possible.
