Your Psychiatric Malpractice Questions, Answered

  • How can I tell if malpractice caused the harm?

    We consult with psychiatric experts to assess whether your treatment violated accepted mental health care standards.

  • What types of damages can I recover?

    You may be able to recover compensation for emotional distress, lost income, medical bills, and future care needs.

  • Are these cases common in Georgia?

    While less discussed, psychiatric malpractice occurs more often than many realize — and often goes unreported. We help expose it.

  • What’s the filing deadline in Georgia?

    You have two years from the date of the incident.

  • Do you take cases outside Augusta?

    Yes. While we serve the Augusta area, we also represent clients throughout Georgia and across the U.S.

  • What if the hospital denies responsibility?

    We’re prepared. We rely on outside experts and clear evidence to prove when negligent care led to patient harm.

  • Can I file for a loved one in psychiatric care?

    In many cases, yes — especially if the individual is a minor or lacks the capacity to act on their own.
