Medical Malpractice Claims in Georgia Must Meet High Standards
It’s natural to question the competence of medical professionals when a loved one suffers or dies during treatment. However, not every bad outcome is due to malpractice. If you believe your situation involves malpractice, the best course of action is to consult with an experienced attorney at Kenneth S. Nugent, P.C. We’ll help determine if two essential elements of a medical malpractice case exist:
- Failure to meet the standard of care: Medical professionals are expected to provide care that meets accepted standards based on the patient’s condition.

Proving these elements can be challenging, but our team includes medical experts, investigators, and professionals who are well-versed in building strong malpractice cases.
