The Georgia law limiting jury awards in medical malpractice cases has been held unconstitutional. Fulton County Judge Diane Besson in Atlanta held that the law was unfair to Georgia citizens.
This is the second Fulton County trial judge to strike down the $350,000.00 Georgia malpractice damage limits. An earlier case before Judge Marvin Arrington was settled while on appeal. That left the question of the law undecided for existing and future cases.
The case before Judge Besson would be a strong case on appeal and her excellent and well reasoned opinion may be the case that ends this discrimination against medical malpractice victims. Our Atlanta Georgia malpractice law firm will be monitoring and reporting on the progress of this vital issue for Georgia victims of medical negligence.
