Atlanta Medical Malpractice Attorneys
When you seek medical care, you trust that doctors, nurses, and hospitals will provide safe and competent treatment. Unfortunately, medical errors happen—and when they do, the consequences can be life-altering. At Sanabria Law, we hold negligent healthcare providers accountable and fight for the compensation you deserve.
What is a Medical Malpractice?
Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare professional’s negligence causes harm to a patient. This can happen through:
- Misdiagnosis or Delayed Diagnosis – Failure to properly diagnose a condition can lead to worsened health outcomes.
- Surgical Errors – Mistakes during surgery, such as operating on the wrong site or leaving instruments inside a patient, can cause serious harm.
- Medication Errors – Prescribing the wrong drug or incorrect dosage can have dangerous consequences.
- Birth Injuries – Negligence during labor and delivery can result in lifelong disabilities for newborns.
- Anesthesia Errors – Incorrect dosages or failure to monitor a patient can lead to severe complications or death.
- Hospital Negligence – Infections, inadequate staffing, and improper patient care can lead to avoidable harm.
Proving Medical Malpractice
To win a medical malpractice case, we must prove:
- A Doctor-Patient Relationship Existed – The provider had a duty to treat you.
- Negligence Occurred – The healthcare professional failed to meet the accepted standard of care.
- The Negligence Caused Harm – The error directly led to injury or worsened your condition.
- Damages Were Suffered – You experienced financial, physical, or emotional losses.
