Veteran Georgia Medical Negligence Lawyers
Georgia, like many states, recently passed tort reform that severely restricts the rights of medical malpractice victims. The new law makes it more difficult to prove medical malpractice. It also caps the amount of noneconomic damages that can be recovered by plaintiffs for injuries caused by medical malpractice.
Because of tort reform, many victims of medical malpractice will be unable to find a lawyer to take their case. However, the Atlanta law firm of Watkins, Lourie, Roll & Chance, PC will continue to represent the individuals and families who suffer serious losses. Located in Atlanta, Georgia, our law firm represents clients throughout the state.
