Casey W. Stevens in a Successful Cumming Medical Malpractice Attorney

Accidents are an inevitable part of life and everyone makes mistakes, but medical professionals are held to a much higher standard because patients trust them with their lives. When a healthcare provider acts in a way that violates acceptable professional standards either through negligence or recklessness, then they commit medical malpractice. If you believe that you or a loved one has been a victim of medical malpractice in Georgia, you only have two years in most cases to file a claim and a medical malpractice attorney like Casey Stevens can help.

Medical malpractice insurance is a multi-billion dollar industry for a reason. In the medical field, every action performed by doctors, nurses, and medical facilities affects the health of those in their care and the consequences of mistakes can be deadly. When a doctor, hospital, or other medical professional or facility is responsible for injuries to a patient, they employ a team of lawyers and medical malpractice insurance representatives to fight the claim and minimize or eliminate their financial liability. Casey Stevens spent ten years as an insurance claims manager and another four as a defense attorney for the insurance companies. He understands their tactics and has the knowledge and experience to recover the best possible settlement for your case.

Medical malpractice can result from the failure to perform medical procedures properly or in a timely manner, failing to properly diagnose a medical condition, or from not properly monitoring a patient during or after surgery. Doctors, nurses, and pharmacists can also commit medical malpractice by improperly administering anesthesia or making prescription errors like choosing the wrong medications or prescribing or administering the wrong dose. The truth is, medical malpractice can be committed by any healthcare provider at any point in a patient’s care. Casey Stevens has successfully represented clients who were victims of medical malpractice all over north Georgia. Our firm has experience with cases including, but not limited to:

• Doctors and psychologists
• Nurses and nurse’s aides
• Chiropractors and physical therapists
• Hospitals and nursing homes
• Emergency and walk-in clinics
• Pharmacies and pharmacists

As with all personal injury claims, medical malpractice requires evidence negligence has occurred and that the accepted standard of care was not followed by the health care provider.  You must also prove you obtained injury as a result of the negligence.  Often times we turn down cases because although the standard of care was not followed, there were no permanent consequences.  For instance, when pharmacists fill the wrong prescription, but the error was discovered by the consumer before any injury happened.

If you or someone you love has been injured by medical malpractice in Georgia you may be entitled to compensation for the following:

• Medical costs (including future medical expenses)
• Lost wages and future loss of earning capacity
• Pain and suffering
• Loss of enjoyment of life
