Q. Is this a medical malpractice case?

May 12, 2023

A: Your aunt's husband or, if she wasn't married, surviving children, should contact a medical malpractice attorney in Georgia as soon as possible to investigate this matter. An MRI is usually contraindicated with someone with a pacemaker or other metal objects.

We are currently handling a case where an MRI technologist left EKG leads on a patient and he suffered a significant injury as a result.

This case definitely merits investigation.

Q. I want to know how I go about filing a lawsuit for malpractice that resulted in my father's death.

September 22, 2022

A: I am sorry for your loss.

If your father was not married, then you and any other biological children of your father would be the correct parties to file a medical malpractice wrongful death lawsuit. Such a lawsuit must be filed within 2 years of your father's death (though it is possible that there might a slight extension of the statute of limitations due to a special Covid Order by the Georgia Supreme Court - depending on the date of your father's death).

You should contact an attorney as soon as possible however because if the ambulance was a city, state, or county entity (such as Dekalb EMS as opposed to a private ambulance company), there are other time deadlines that apply. Also, city, county, or state entities are entitled to certain protections of law that can be hard to get around. [Our firm successfully avoided these special protections not that long ago in a case in which a county EMS left an individual at home who had called EMS for chest pain and she died the next morning.]

Whether a case is viable as a wrongful death case is very fact specific. Again, I would recommend that you contact an attorney who handles medical malpractice cases as soon as possible. ... Read More
