Atlanta Georgia Surgical Errors Attorneys

Surgeons are expected to adhere to standard treatment protocols and best practices when performing surgery on patients. Doctors and physicians can be held liable for injuries and deaths that occur as a result of departures from standard surgery procedures and best practices both before, during, and after treatment. At the Olson Law Firm, our lawyers consult nationally recognized experts in every medical field imaginable in analyzing and reviewing the actions of a surgeon. Additionally, our office interviews nursing staff, subpoenas operating room video footage, reviews data printout on machines that record a patient's vital signs, and carefully reviews medical records. We point to warning signs that were ignored and departures from known, established surgical procedures on the part of doctors and attending staff.

We have the experience and resources needed to challenge expert witnesses provided by insurance companies and HMOs. To demand nothing less than justice, contact surgical error attorneys at the Olson Law Firm.

My Doctor Denies Everything - Do I have a Case?

Due to reform of our nation's laws governing torts, a preliminary finding of negligence on the part of a surgeon must now be established before a medical malpractice case can proceed. If you doctor claims there is nothing he or she could have done to prevent your injuries or medical complications, our office can help you evaluate the facts and determine if you have a case. Our lawyers can refer you to medical experts for an alternative evaluation while preparing and analyzing the facts involved in your case.

If we believe there is good reason to believe your surgeon acted negligently, our office will prepare all necessary documents and paperwork in order to establish a preliminary finding of negligence on the part of your physician.
