Your Voice: Athens Medical Malpractice Lawyers
Trusting doctors and nurses to treat various ailments is necessary. Medical malpractice is the third leading cause of death in the United States. Each year, approximately 22,000 people in the U.S. die because of medical providers’ errors or oversights and an estimated 7,150 previously healthy individuals die in the U.S. each year because of medical negligence.

Typically, Georgia’s healthcare providers offer top-notch care. However, mistakes do occur as misdiagnosis is the most common type of medical negligence. Injured patients and their families suffer. A personal injury attorney can provide valuable guidance on the statutes of limitations related to medical malpractice claims.
Our Athens medical malpractice lawyers at Chance, Forlines, Carter & King, PC, are here to help if medical negligence has caused harm to you or a loved one. To address your injuries, it may be necessary to sue the negligent provider, requiring litigation. Proving malpractice in a court of law is complex and requires sufficient evidence and legal knowledge.
Medical malpractice cases often require expert testimony to establish negligence and causation. Our Athens law firm helps file a court complaint, supported by affidavits and medical documentation. We handle all court proceedings, discovery, pre-trial motions, status conferences, and hearings for your medical malpractice case.
