Reasons to Hire a Sandy Springs Medical Malpractice Lawyer
Davis Adams is not a general personal-injury shop—we live and breathe malpractice litigation. Our trial attorneys have spent nearly two decades deposing surgeons, cross-examining hospital administrators, and winning life-changing verdicts across Georgia. Clients owe nothing up front; we work on contingency and advance all case costs. From the first phone call, a seasoned medical malpractice attorney Sandy Springs secures records, lines up nationally respected experts, and crafts a strategy that hospital defense teams cannot ignore.
Establishing a Malpractice Claim
Georgia law demands proof of four elements:
Duty of care. A provider-patient relationship existed, creating a legal obligation to follow accepted standards.
Breach of duty. Those standards were broken—whether a wrong-site surgery, a misread X-ray, or a medication mix-up.
Causation. The breach directly caused harm; a poor outcome alone is not enough.
Damages. Losses include hospital bills, future rehab, lost earnings, and the human toll of pain and anxiety.
A meticulous Sandy Springs medical negligence attorney weaves these elements into a compelling narrative for settlement or trial.
Accountability of Sandy Springs Hospitals
Facilities such as Northside Hospital Atlanta and Emory Saint Joseph’s Hospital employ thousands of nurses, techs, and therapists. When an employee’s negligence injures a patient, the hospital itself can be liable under vicarious-liability rules. Many physicians, however, practice as independent contractors—meaning a separate suit may be needed. A skilled hospital negligence lawyer Sandy Springs reviews contracts, credentialing files, and bylaws to pinpoint every responsible party.

-
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.
