Which Specialties See the Most Medical Malpractice Claims?
Any care provider in any specialty can be negligent, but lawsuits are definitely more common in certain specialties. Some of the specialties with the highest rates of malpractice claims include:
- General surgery
- Urology
- Otolaryngology (ear, nose, and throat medicine)
- OB/GYN
- Specialized surgery
- Radiology
- Emergency medicine
- Cardiology
- Gastroenterology
- Anesthesiology
Some of these are expected; surgery, whether general or specialized, is inherently risky. There are many ways a surgeon can be negligent enough to cause serious harm to a patient. OB/GYNs help women at some of the most vulnerable times of their lives, and a mistake can leave a baby in need of specialized care for the rest of their life. Anesthesiology done improperly or not at all can leave patients in horrendous pain and cause serious side effects. Other specialities may be more surprising, but the potential outcome of negligence in all of these fields is permanent injury.
Forms of Compensation for Injured Victims
If your Newnan medical malpractice claim is successful, you may be entitled to several forms of compensation in Georgia. You may be entitled to compensation for the money spent on the care you received from the at-fault physician, the cost of all the treatment you needed to address their negligence, compensation for future medical expenses, lost wages and income, and pain and suffering. In cases involving particularly egregious negligence, the court may also award punitive damages to punish the at-fault party and discourage such gross negligence in the future.
How to Prove Medical Malpractice
When you file a medical malpractice lawsuit, the state of Georgia requires that you file an affidavit from a medical expert testifying to the fact that you’ve experienced at least one negligent act at the hands of the person named in your suit. Beyond that, the more evidence you can provide, the better. Your attorney may look into these and other types of evidence:
- Imaging such as CT-Scans, MRIs and X-Rays
- Medical records and charts from your providers
- Medical literature regarding potential complications
- Expert analysis and testimony from others in your doctor’s field of specialty
The Importance of Choosing the Right Attorney
Fighting for fair compensation after medical mistreatment is an uphill battle. Medical professionals are widely trusted in society, and those seeking compensation can struggle to have their voices heard. That’s why it’s important to research the attorneys in your area. That’s when you’ll find that The Baer Law Firm has a long history of successful medical malpractice cases, and we are ready to bring our expertise to your claim. Whether you’ve suffered a misdiagnosis, watched your little one suffer after a birth injury, or experienced another type of medical malpractice, know that we are on your side.
We’ve handled cases against the major medical providers and facilities throughout the Atlanta area, including those in Newnan. Don’t let the healthcare facility bully you into accepting a pitifully low settlement—they aren’t concerned with how their providers’ negligence will follow you forever, so you shouldn’t be concerned with their bottom line. Let us handle the legal side of your case.
