What damages can I recover in a Georgia ER misdiagnosis case?

Georgia law allows victims of ER negligence to recover economic damages (past and future medical expenses, lost wages and earning capacity, rehabilitation costs, in-home care) and non-economic damages (physical pain and suffering, mental anguish, loss of enjoyment of life, permanent disability or disfigurement, loss of consortium). In wrongful death cases under O.C.G.A. § 51-4-2, surviving family members may recover the full value of the decedent’s life. In cases of egregious or reckless conduct, punitive damages may also be available under O.C.G.A. § 51-12-5.1.
