Reasons to Hire a Cobb County Medical Malpractice Lawyer
Davis Adams is not a general injury practice that “also” handles malpractice—we live and breathe it. Over nearly two decades we have deposed surgeons, exposed dangerous hospital policies, and won record verdicts across metro Atlanta. Our contingency-fee model means you pay nothing unless we win. From the first call, a dedicated medical malpractice attorney Cobb County secures your records, consults nationally respected experts, and builds leverage hospitals cannot ignore.
Establishing a Malpractice Claim
Duty of care. A provider-patient relationship obligates the clinician to follow accepted standards.
Breach. Those standards were violated—perhaps a wrong-site surgery at Wellstar Kennestone or a misread scan at a Smyrna imaging center.
Causation. The breach directly caused injury; poor results alone are not enough.
Damages. Losses span hospital bills, rehabilitation, lost earnings, and the human toll of pain and anxiety.
A meticulous Cobb County medical negligence attorney weaves these elements into a persuasive case for settlement or trial.
Accountability of Cobb County Hospitals
Wellstar Kennestone Regional Medical Center and Wellstar Cobb Hospital employ thousands of nurses, technicians, and therapists. When an employee’s negligence harms a patient, the hospital itself can be liable. Independent physicians, however, often practice as contractors—requiring separate action. A knowledgeable Cobb County hospital negligence lawyer reviews contracts, credentialing files, and bylaws to ensure every responsible party faces justice.
Compensation for Malpractice Victims
- Past and future medical expenses—including treatment at Wellstar Outpatient Rehabilitation or Shepherd Center satellite clinics.
- Lost income and diminished earning capacity.
- Pain, suffering, and emotional distress.
Georgia’s Filing Deadlines for Malpractice
Under O.C.G.A. § 9-3-71, most victims have two years from the injury to sue, and no more than five years from the negligent act. An expert affidavit must accompany the complaint, attesting that malpractice likely occurred. Delay can bar recovery, so contact a medical malpractice lawyer Cobb County GA quickly.

Below, we've tried to anticipate some location related questions you might have.
- What locations in Georgia do you serve?
Davis Adams represents medical-malpractice victims state-wide—including Albany, Athens, Atlanta, Augusta, Brookhaven, Chatham County (Savannah), Cobb County (Marietta & Smyrna), Columbus, Dalton, Decatur, Ellenwood, Fulton County (Midtown Atlanta, North Atlanta, South Fulton, Roswell), Gainesville, Gwinnett County, Hall County, Jonesboro, Lowndes County (Valdosta), Macon/Bibb County, Muscogee County, Sandy Springs, and nearby communities. For the full up-to-date list, see our Areas We Serve page.
- My town isn’t shown—can you still review my case?
Very likely, yes. If the malpractice occurred anywhere in Georgia, we can evaluate and, in most instances, pursue the claim. Simply contact us with the details; a free case review will confirm whether we can help. If we’re not the right fit, we’ll point you to a reliable resource.
- Do I have to travel to your office or the courthouse?
Usually not. Consultations can be done by phone or secure video, and we retrieve medical records electronically. When in-person meetings are necessary—such as a settlement conference or trial—we handle the logistics and can often appear in a courthouse nearest to you. We keep travel burdens on clients to a minimum.
- What does it cost to hire Davis Adams?
We work on a contingency-fee basis: no retainer, no hourly bills. We advance all case expenses—medical experts, filings, records—and recover them only if we win compensation for you. Your initial consultation is completely free, so there is no financial risk in calling us.
- What should I do right after a suspected medical mistake?
First, seek prompt medical attention from a qualified provider you trust. Ask for copies of all records and imaging, and keep bills, prescriptions, and a written timeline of events. Avoid discussing the case with the hospital’s insurer before you speak with a malpractice attorney. A quick call to Davis Adams can clarify your rights and next steps—at no cost.
- Do you handle cases in rural Georgia counties, or only in major cities?
We routinely represent clients from every corner of Georgia—large metro areas and rural counties. Whether the malpractice happened in a small community hospital or a regional medical center, our team can investigate, file suit, and appear in the local courthouse if needed. Distance never limits your access to experienced counsel.
- Which Georgia courthouses do you appear in?
Because medical-malpractice suits are filed in the county where the negligence occurred, we litigate in courthouses statewide—from Fulton and Cobb Superior Courts in metro Atlanta to Superior Courts in Dougherty, Glynn, Muscogee, and beyond. Our attorneys are licensed in all Georgia state, so we can pursue your claim wherever it must be filed.
You’re hurting.
An unfortunate trait of lawyers is that sometimes we talk when we should instead just listen. So that’s what we do first: we listen to your story, we hear what you’ve been through, and we learn as much as possible about your pain.
You’ve been through enough.
A healthcare provider you trusted for healing instead has caused harm. Even worse, when you ask questions about what went wrong, you’re unlikely to get honest answers because while your doctor should be talking to you, they are talking to their insurance company.
