Atlanta IsDangerous

Birth injuries caused by medical negligence can have lifelong consequences for children and families across metro Atlanta. These injuries are often the result of medical professionals failing to monitor, respond, or act in time during labor and delivery. Families in Southwest Atlanta, Vine City, and the Westside are among the most underserved when it comes to advocacy after a medical failure. Hospital systems often use delay and denial tactics and make families feel like they have no case. TopDog fights to get you every dollar your child deserves.

TopDog Law fighting for injury victims in Atlanta

We KnowThis City

Grady Memorial Hospital, Emory University Hospital Midtown, and Northside Hospital are among the major delivery facilities across metro Atlanta and serve the communities where our clients live. We know these facilities, the standards they are held to, and how to hold them accountable when a birth goes wrong. Those failures cause real damage to children and Atlanta families and we fight to secure the future every child deserves.

Warning

IMPORTANT GEORGIA LEGAL INFORMATION — BIRTH INJURY

Statute of Limitations for Child: Minor children generally have until their 7th birthday if malpractice occurred before age 5. Parental claims for medical expenses have a 2-year statute of limitations from the date of the injury.

Government Hospital (Critical): Government-affiliated hospitals may require ante litem notice within 6 to 12 months.

Affidavit of Expert: Required before filing, same as medical malpractice.

No Current Damage Cap: Georgia currently has no cap on non-economic damages in birth injury malpractice cases following court rulings.

Comparative Fault: Modified comparative fault.

This is a brief summary of commonly applied laws in the jurisdiction. There are often different laws that apply to different circumstances. Once you hire TopDog, your attorney will advise you on the applicable laws.

Your Case May Be Worth More Than They're Telling You.

Insurance companies for hospitals may make early low offers and use delay and denial tactics. Georgia currently has no cap on non-economic damages in birth injury cases — lifetime care costs, pain and suffering, and lost future earning capacity are all fully recoverable. TopDog Law and its co-counsel fight for the maximum recovery.
