Victims of medical errors are entitled to recover compensation to make up for the harm caused by the mistake. In Georgia, the average medical malpractice settlement is about $425,000.
However, the actual dollar amount is different in every case. Your claim could be worth much more or less than the average amount.
To determine how much your medical malpractice claim is worth, our lawyers will analyze the following factors:
The amount of insurance available and the identities of the responsible parties can also impact your settlement amount.
Your compensation award should include two types of compensatory damages: economic damages and non-economic damages. In rare cases, punitive damages may be available to punish medical professionals for gross negligence or willful misconduct.
Examples of economic damages in your case may include:
Non-economic damages are your “pain and suffering” damages and attempt to make up for your:

Proving your right to compensation for medical malpractice isn’t easy. Doctors aren’t expected to be perfect. Not every mistake rises to the level of medical negligence.
However, when a doctor provides care that deviates from the generally accepted standard of care, you may be entitled to damages. To recover compensation, you’ll first have to establish the medical standard of care that applied in your case.
Doctors themselves develop the medical standard of care. It’s based on:
Expert witness testimony can help establish this standard. In fact, Georgia medical malpractice laws require you to present an affidavit from a medical expert before you can proceed with your case. Our lawyers will bring in knowledgeable doctors and medical professionals to testify about what they would have done in your situation.
Once you know the medical standard of care, you’ll also have to prove that the doctor or healthcare professional was negligent.
Your doctor or nurse was negligent if:
Medical malpractice cases can be very difficult to prove. However, you can greatly increase your chances of success with a skilled Thomson medical malpractice attorney by your side. Get more information about how we can help by calling Hawk Law Group for a free case evaluation today.
Georgia has a two-year statute of limitations in medical malpractice cases. However, the deadline is more complex in cases involving medical negligence.
Victims don’t always learn about the mistake until some time has passed. Even if you know something feels wrong, you might not know what happened.
You may have more time if:
In these cases, the clock starts running on the date you discovered your injury or reasonably should have discovered the injury.
However, in all cases, you’ll have a maximum of five years from the date you were harmed to file a medical malpractice lawsuit.
Medical errors can leave you struggling with a new or worsened medical condition. If you or a loved one were injured, you have legal rights.
