Medical Malpractice Attorney Atlanta

Decatur Physician Negligence Attorney

Medical malpractice occurs when a provider, usually a doctor or a health care facility, fails to provide treatment that meets the customary standard of health care provided by the medical industry. The failure to satisfy the standard of health care, or medical negligence, must result in an injury to or wrongful death of a patient. Medical negligence can include an error in diagnosis, treatment or illness management, and can implicate the doctor, hospital, health facility or government agency that manages the hospital or health care facility. The McAleer Law Firm's talented medical malpractice attorney in Atlanta can identify the medical malpractice and hold the negligent party accountable.

A medical malpractice case involving negligent delivery of an infant resulting in spastic cerebral palsy provides an example of a medical malpractice claim.

Other types of medical malpractice may be:

• Delay in diagnosis
• Retained foreign objects
• Anesthesia error
• Improper consent before a medical procedure
• Surgical error
• Failure to diagnose a medical condition
• Improper treatment of an illness or disease
• Birth injury, including Cerebral Palsy and Brain Damage

A lot of medical malpractice occurs in hospitals. Our medical malpractice attorneys are skilled at navigating the complexities of such cases.

Skilled medical malpractice attorneys can seek compensation for the victim of medical malpractice and their family, ensuring that the negligence of others will not leave their clients financially suffering into the future.

Sometimes a medical malpractice claim arises in conjunction with another personal injury claim, such as when a doctor or a hospital is negligent in treating injuries suffered by a worker in a construction accident, causing a delay in healing or a worsening of the injuries sustained. The McAleer Law Firm’s knowledgeable attorneys know how and when it is appropriate under law to seek compensation under both claims.

Our Atlanta personal injury attorneys will diligently and thoroughly investigate the circumstances surrounding your case, and will work tirelessly to see that the injured party and his or her family receive the maximum compensation.
