Signs You’ve Experienced Medical Malpractice

The only real way to know if you’ve been the victim of medical malpractice is to discuss your experience with an attorney, but there are definitely signs that can help you better understand what you’ve gone through. Some signs of medical malpractice include:

• Severe complications. Complications are commonplace, especially after surgeries and other invasive procedures. However, severe complications may be the result of negligence—for example, a surgical sponge left inside the body or a surgical wound that wasn’t closed up properly. If you have severe complications that are worsening with time, talk to an attorney.
• Your concerns not being heard. Healthcare should be a two-way conversation. If you’re trying to talk to your doctor about symptoms or concerns and you’re being ignored, malpractice may be occurring. This is often the first step towards a missed diagnosis—care providers who forget that their patients know their bodies best.
• Lack of informed consent. If you’ve experienced side effects or other issues that your doctor claims are normal, medical malpractice may have occurred if you weren’t fully informed of what to expect from your care. Patients deserve to know the potential positive and negative aspects of every form of treatment.
• Different information from everyone. You have one care provider recommending one test, and a specialist recommending two others. Different doctors are talking to you about different diagnoses, and no one seems to actually know what’s going on with your health. You may be the victim of an understaffed facility with overworked care providers.

Georgia Laws Affecting Medical Malpractice Claims

It’s important to be aware of the statute of limitations in your medical malpractice claim, and the exceptions. Missing this date by even one day could mean the loss of your right to seek compensation. In general, the statute of limitations for medical malpractice is two years from the date of injury. Before you can file your lawsuit in a Georgia court, you must provide an affidavit from a medical expert indicating that you are the victim of at least one negligent act committed by the provider you are suing.

How The Baer Law Firm Can Advocate for You

Medical malpractice can change the course of your life. Not only can it leave you with permanent injuries and a staggering amount of medical debt, it can also make you forever distrustful of the healthcare industry. Malpractice goes above and beyond a simple mistake; it’s an egregious disregard for the standards that govern this field.

However, it can be extraordinarily difficult to get the compensation you deserve in a medical malpractice case. There’s a substantial amount of medical documentation to sort through, not to mention medical experts’ testimony and specialists’ standards to consider. You have enough to focus on as you recover—with The Baer Law Firm, you can rest easy knowing that your case is in experienced, trustworthy hands.
