When Care Goes Wrong, We Fight to Make It Right
Medical errors can change your life in an instant. Whether it’s a misdiagnosis, a surgical mistake, or negligence during childbirth, patients are left to bear the physical, emotional, and financial burden. At Parrish Law Firm, we represent individuals and families who trusted the medical system—and were failed by it.

- Surgical errors or wrong-site surgery
- Medication errors or incorrect dosages
- Birth injuries (to mother or baby)
- Anesthesia complications
- Hospital-acquired infections
- Failure to monitor or respond to patient distress

We work with medical experts to review your records and confirm whether malpractice occurred.

FAQs: Medical Malpractice in Atlanta
How do I know if I have a case?
You must show that a medical provider breached the standard of care and that this directly caused your injury. We investigate with qualified experts to determine if that’s true.
Is there a time limit to file?
Yes. Georgia has a 2-year statute of limitations for most malpractice claims—but sooner is better to preserve records and build your case.
Can I sue the hospital or just the doctor?
Both may be liable, depending on the circumstances. Hospitals can be held accountable for negligent employees or systemic failures.
