Comprehensive Medical Malpractice Law Services

The responsibility that doctors and other medical professionals have towards their patients is extremely important, as even relatively minor mistakes or careless errors on the part of a physician can have devastating or even fatal consequences for patients. To ensure that patients are not forced to bear the burden of paying for the costs of these mistakes on their own, medical malpractice laws allow doctors and other medical parties in these situations to be held liable for their errors.

Fighting for compensation through a medical malpractice lawsuit may be the only viable way for patients to get the compensation they need and deserve. Our team at Ausband & Dumont knows that many people in Atlanta have been the victims of medical malpractice. Our team can assist you with law options to fight for your rights in this situation.

Trust Us for Your Birth Injury Law Case

The birth of a child is often one of the most important moments in any parent's life. Unfortunately, what should be a joyous occasion can quickly become one fraught with pain, distress, and more if the child is born with a birth injury or defect. Sadly, as we at Ausband & Dumont know all too well, the negligence of medical professionals in Atlanta is often the cause of these birth injuries, forcing families to possibly forever deal with the consequences.

Birth injuries can cause children to suffer physical or developmental disorders that can affect them for the rest of their lives, potentially requiring costly medical treatment and intensive care. No parent should have to pay for the consequences of a doctor's errors that caused their child harm. Fortunately, in many cases, they don't, as it is often possible to recover compensation to deal with the effects of a birth injury.
