Medical Malpractice Attorney
When a doctor, hospital, or healthcare provider fails to meet the accepted standard of care and you are harmed as a result, you have the right to seek justice. Bowers Legal Group is here to help.
Holding Healthcare Providers Accountable for Substandard Care
Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider — a doctor, surgeon, nurse, hospital, or other medical professional — fails to provide care that meets the accepted standard in the medical community, and that failure causes injury or death to a patient. These are among the most complex personal injury cases, requiring expert medical testimony, detailed records review, and a thorough understanding of both medicine and law. At Bowers Legal Group, we take on these challenging cases because we believe patients deserve accountability when the healthcare system fails them. We work with qualified medical experts to build strong, evidence-based cases on your behalf.
Common Causes & Scenarios
Surgical Errors
Operating on the wrong site, leaving instruments inside a patient, performing unnecessary surgery, or making critical errors during a procedure can cause devastating, life-altering harm.
Misdiagnosis or Delayed Diagnosis
Failing to diagnose cancer, heart disease, stroke, or other serious conditions in a timely manner can allow a disease to progress to a more serious — or fatal — stage.
Medication Errors
Prescribing the wrong medication, the wrong dosage, or failing to account for dangerous drug interactions can cause serious injury or death.
Birth Injuries
Negligence during labor and delivery — including failure to monitor fetal distress, improper use of forceps, or delayed C-section decisions — can cause permanent injury to mother or child.
Anesthesia Errors
Administering too much or too little anesthesia, or failing to monitor a patient's vital signs during surgery, can result in brain damage, organ failure, or death.
Failure to Obtain Informed Consent
Patients have the right to be fully informed about the risks of a procedure before consenting. Performing a procedure without proper informed consent may constitute malpractice.
What to Expect
Medical malpractice cases begin with a thorough review of your medical records by qualified healthcare professionals who can identify where the standard of care was breached.
We work with expert witnesses — physicians in the relevant specialty — who can testify about what the standard of care required and how the defendant fell short.
Georgia and South Carolina have specific procedural requirements for medical malpractice claims, including expert affidavit requirements. We handle all of these requirements on your behalf.
We document the full extent of your injuries and their impact on your life, including future medical needs, lost earning capacity, and pain and suffering.
We negotiate with the healthcare provider's malpractice insurer and, if necessary, pursue your claim through litigation and trial.
