Do I have to prove I would have survived with an earlier diagnosis?

Do I have to prove I would have survived with an earlier diagnosis?

Not necessarily. Under Georgia’s loss of chance doctrine, even if survival was statistically unlikely, you may recover for the reduction in your chances caused by the delayed diagnosis. This is a nuanced area of law where the specific facts — your cancer’s stage, type, and historical survival rates — matter enormously. Our attorneys work with oncology experts to quantify lost chance and maximize your recovery.
