Overview

These public Georgia complaint examples involve orthopedic, podiatry, spine, hip, fracture, implant, injection, or nerve-block allegations. Some examples are diagnostic or emergency-care cases rather than traditional operating-room complications, so they are included only where the alleged injury pattern is closely tied to orthopedic or spine care.

Georgia Court of Appeals affirms verdict in surgical-center understaffing malpractice case. The Court of Appeals of Georgia affirmed a $6.5 million medical-malpractice judgment and a $1.82 million attorney-fee award, holding that expert testimony on understaffing and ACLS response supported causation and that the trial court could consider a contingency-fee agreement when awarding OCGA 9-11-68 fees. Georgia Supreme Court denies certiorari in Keel, with concurrence on expert personal-practices jury charges. The Georgia Supreme Court denied certiorari in Ga. Bone & Joint Surgeons, P.C. v. Keel. Justice Bethel's concurrence explains that Condra v. Atlanta Orthopaedic Group does not require a personal-practices jury instruction and that pattern-instruction status alone cannot decide whether a requested charge should be given. Supreme Court of Georgia: the medical malpractice damages cap cannot touch a verdict that also includes pain-and-suffering damages a jury was entitled to award. Reaffirming Nestlehutt under stare decisis, the Supreme Court held that OCGA § 51-13-1's $350,000 noneconomic damages cap cannot be applied at all to a verdict that includes constitutionally protected noneconomic damages — here, the estate's pre-death pain and suffering. Because the statute lumps every claimant's noneconomic damages into one capped sum and offers no way to carve a verdict apart, the Court vacated an order that had cut a $29,250,000 wrongful death award to $350,000. It expressly reserved whether the cap could reach a stand-alone wrongful death award.
