Medical Malpractice
Medical professionals are held to a high standard of care. When they fall short and patients suffer, The Nagel Law Firm pursues accountability.
You trust medical professionals with your life. When that trust is violated through negligence, the consequences can be devastating — worsened conditions, permanent disability, or death. Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider deviates from the accepted standard of care.
Common medical malpractice claims include surgical errors, misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis, medication errors, birth injuries, anesthesia mistakes, emergency room negligence, and failure to obtain informed consent.
Georgia law requires that a medical malpractice claim be accompanied by an expert affidavit from a qualified medical professional confirming that malpractice occurred. This requirement makes it essential to work with an attorney who has the medical experts and resources to build a strong case.
These cases are heavily defended by hospital legal teams and malpractice insurers. Daniel Nagel's prosecutorial background means he knows how to build a case methodically, present evidence persuasively, and stand firm against aggressive defense tactics.
