Experienced Medical Malpractice Attorneys in Georgia

When the System Meant to Heal You Causes Harm, We Are Here for You

Hospitals, doctors, and healthcare providers are supposed to help with a cure, not hurt. But when they fail to follow proper medical standards, the results can be devastating. If you or someone you love suffered harm due to a medical error in Atlanta, you may have a malpractice case.

At Blaska Holm, we help victims of medical negligence seek compensation, accountability, and answers. We’re not intimidated by complex records, high-powered defense firms, or hospital systems. We take these cases personally, because the stakes are often life-altering.

What Is Medical Malpractice?

Medical malpractice happens when a doctor, nurse, hospital, or healthcare provider fails to follow the accepted standard of care, resulting in injury or death to a patient.
This is not just about “bad outcomes.” It’s about avoidable harm caused by negligence, misjudgment, or systemic failures.

Stroke or heart attack misread in ER

Surgical Errors

Operating on the wrong site or organ
Instruments left inside the body

We investigate cases involving Georgia healthcare facilities and care providers depending on where the suspected malpractice took place.

How Do I Know If I Have a Medical Malpractice Case?

You may have a valid claim if:

1. A Doctor-Patient Relationship Existed
There has to be a formal medical relationship (not just casual advice at a party). Medical records usually make this clear.

2. The Provider Breached the Standard of Care
This is the core of the case. The provider failed to do what a reasonably competent provider would have done in a similar situation.
In Georgia, we must submit an affidavit from a licensed medical expert to support this point at the time of filing.

3. That Breach Caused Your Injury
We must connect the dots: that the negligence—not an unrelated condition—directly caused your harm.

4. You Suffered Damages
There must be actual harm: pain, injury, financial loss, long-term disability, or death.

This is why medical malpractice cases are more complex than regular personal injury claims. You need evidence, experts, and experience.

That’s where we come in. At Blaska Holm, we partner with leading medical experts to analyze your records, identify breaches in care, and build a powerful case.

What Are the Signs You May Have Been a Victim of Medical Malpractice?

Most people don’t immediately realize a medical error occurred. Malpractice is often discovered after months of unanswered questions, confusing symptoms, or dismissive care. Here are common red flags that suggest something may have gone wrong:

1. Your symptoms got worse after treatment, not better

It's normal for recovery to take time. But if your condition suddenly worsens or new complications arise after a procedure, it could indicate a surgical error, infection, or incorrect medication.

2. Your provider refuses to answer basic questions

Medical professionals should clearly explain your diagnosis, treatment options, and what went wrong. If they're defensive, evasive, or rush you off the phone, that's a sign to ask for a second opinion.

3. You were discharged too early

Hospitals sometimes discharge patients early due to overcrowding or insurance issues. If you were sent home too soon and developed complications, this could be a form of negligence.

4. You discovered mistakes in your medical records

Missing test results, incorrect medications, or documentation that doesn't match your memory? Those errors can affect your care and point to negligence.

Why Medical Malpractice Cases Are So Complex (and Why You Need a Strong Lawyer)

These cases are different from typical injury claims. They involve:

Deep knowledge of medical standards
Extensive documentation and expert testimony
Aggressive insurance defense tactics

And in Georgia, they require a “professional affidavit of merit” from a qualified expert—just to file a lawsuit. We handle that for you, along with all deadlines, filings, and legal strategy.
We also know what it takes to prove causation, which is often the hardest part of a malpractice claim. The hospital will say your condition was unavoidable. We dig deeper.

Compensation You May Be Entitled To

Medical malpractice can leave long-lasting damage. We pursue full and fair compensation for:

Medical bills and future treatment costs
Lost income and reduced earning potential
Pain and suffering
Emotional distress or PTSD
Disability or loss of independence
Wrongful death damages (if the patient died from their injuries)

Who Can Be Sued for Medical Malpractice in Georgia?

You can file a claim against any licensed medical provider who caused harm through negligence. That includes:

Physicians and surgeons
Nurses and nurse practitioners
Anesthesiologists
Radiologists
Physical therapists
Chiropractors
Pharmacists
Hospitals, clinics, and urgent care facilities

Hospitals and clinics may also be held vicariously liable if an employee’s negligence caused the injury—or directly liable if their policies, staffing, or equipment played a role.

How Long Do I Have to File a Malpractice Claim in Georgia?

Georgia’s statute of limitations for medical malpractice is generally 2 years from the date the injury occurred or when it was discovered.

There’s also a 5-year maximum limit (called the statute of repose) from the date of the act, regardless of discovery.

But these timelines can vary, especially for:

Children or minors
Cases involving foreign objects left in the body
Wrongful death
