Who can be held liable for a tonsillectomy gone wrong in Georgia?

Multiple parties may bear liability, including the ENT surgeon who performed the procedure; the anesthesiologist or CRNA; the post-operative nursing staff; the hospital or ambulatory surgical center; and, in some cases, the pediatrician or primary care physician who failed to refer appropriately or clear the patient for surgery. Georgia’s joint and several liability rules and the Tort Reform Act of 2005 govern apportionment. Our attorneys analyze every potentially responsible party to maximize your recovery.
