How Do I Know If I Have a Valid Claim?

To have a valid claim, it must be shown that the medical professionals involved acted negligently, directly leading to the injury. Our seasoned attorneys in Cumming provide a free case evaluation to assess your situation and guide you on the best course of action based on evidence and legal viability.

How Long Do I Have to File a Claim?

In Georgia, there are specific statutes of limitations that dictate the timeframe within which you must file a medical malpractice claim. Generally, you have two years from the date of injury, but there are exceptions based on discovery rules and specific statutory guidelines for minors. Consulting with our team as early as possible can help navigate these deadlines and protect your rights to pursue a claim effectively.

Delaying can risk your ability to claim, especially if critical evidence becomes less accessible over time. Hence, we advise initiating legal proceedings promptly, enabling us to preserve vital evidence and document witness accounts while events are recent and recall is fresh.
