When someone is harmed by a medical mistake, one of the first questions they ask is:
“Can I sue the doctor or clinic — or is the hospital responsible?”
Understanding the difference matters, especially in Georgia, where liability rules for private clinics, hospitals, and medical professionals vary. A mistake in identifying the correct defendant can delay justice or even limit compensation.
Medical malpractice is a serious issue across the United States, and Georgia is no exception.
Patients who suffer due to medical negligence often seek legal recourse, and Atlanta stands at the center of these cases, both in terms of frequency and the complexity of litigation.
When comparing Atlanta to other major cities in Georgia, distinct trends emerge in medical malpractice lawsuits, settlements, and the legal landscape.
