Memorial Health University Medical Center handles thousands of deliveries each year as Savannah's primary Level I trauma center serving Chatham County and the Georgia and South Carolina Lowcountry. When birth injuries occur at this facility or at other Savannah-area hospitals and birthing centers, the medical and financial impact on families can span a lifetime. Conditions like cerebral palsy, brachial plexus injury, hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, and other birth trauma can require decades of specialized care. Georgia birth injury cases involving negligence carry no cap on economic damages. TopDog fights to get you every dollar you deserve.
Memorial Health University Medical Center is the primary delivery facility for Chatham County, serving patients across Savannah's Eastside, West Savannah, Cuyler/Brownville, and Kayton/Frazier communities, as well as Lowcountry patients from South Carolina. St. Joseph's/Candler also handles deliveries throughout the area. Families who experience birth injuries at these facilities are often told the outcome was normal or unavoidable. We know how to fight back against that narrative and secure your child's future. Those injuries cause real damage to Savannah families and we fight to get injured children and their families the care and compensation they deserve.
Hospital systems and their insurers across Chatham County work to protect themselves at families' expense. They often use delay and denial tactics and work to make families feel like they have no case. Georgia's expert affidavit requirement and the ante-litem notice rules for government-affiliated facilities create additional procedural traps. We know how to leverage the justice system in Georgia courts to fight back for your child's future.
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.
Parent Claims: A parent's independent claim for medical expenses and loss of services is not tolled, parents have 2 years from the date of injury.
Government Hospital Deadline (Critical): If the birth occurred at a government-affiliated facility, an ante-litem notice may be required within 6 months (city) or 12 months (county). This can permanently bar the claim if missed.
Expert Affidavit Required: Georgia requires an expert affidavit filed with the complaint, identifying at least one negligent act.
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.
Insurance companies and hospital systems may make early low offers because they count on families not knowing the full lifetime value of their child's case. They may delay, deny, and use the complexity of medical evidence to pressure families into inadequate settlements. Birth injury cases involve uncapped economic damages in Georgia, lifetime care, therapy, adaptive equipment, and lost earning capacity. TopDog Law and its co-counsel fight for every dollar.
