Holding Negligent Health Care Providers Responsible For Your Injuries
When you visit the doctor or hospital, you reasonably expect your health care provider to take care of you and not cause a new or worsened injury or illness. Unfortunately, medical malpractice is becoming increasingly common in Georgia and across the United States. If you suffered because of a health care provider’s negligence, then you may have a valid medical malpractice claim.

Newbern, and having previously worked for a large firm defending insurance companies in personal injury actions, I have seen both sides of these cases. I know the tactics and arguments that insurers will use against you. When you work with me, I will use my firsthand knowledge to build a strong case that helps you obtain the compensation you deserve.
A Strong Advocate To Help You Stand Against Insurance Companies
Every doctor, nurse and health care provider owes their patients a standard duty of care. When they breach this duty through negligence or recklessness and a patient gets hurt or dies, it is considered medical malpractice.
Common causes of medical malpractice include:
Surgical errors
Birth injuries
Prescription mistakes
Anesthesia errors
Misdiagnoses or failures to diagnose
Medical malpractice cases can quickly become complicated. From the very beginning of your case, I will start collecting and analyzing complex evidence that shows your new or worsened medical condition. I will also help establish the cause and use expert witnesses when necessary.
Hospitals, clinics and doctors all have strong insurance companies that have many resources at their disposal. When you have to face an insurer in court, it is vital that you have an experienced trial attorney by your side. Rest assured, with over a decade of litigation experience, I am a lawyer who will advocate for you.
