How Georgia Law Affects Your Professional Malpractice Case
Professional malpractice in Georgia means a licensed professional — an attorney, accountant, financial advisor, architect, or similar — failed to meet the accepted standard of care in their field and caused you financial harm. Unlike medical malpractice, these cases usually involve economic rather than physical losses.
Damages equal the financial loss the professional's error actually caused — what you lost or failed to gain because of it. In legal malpractice, Georgia typically requires proving the "case within a case": that you would have won the underlying matter but for the attorney's error. Engagement letters, billing records, and the professional's own file are critical evidence.
Georgia generally allows about 2 years to file, in line with the national average of 2.4 years, often running from when you discovered (or should have discovered) the error. For attorney malpractice, the "continuous representation" rule can pause the clock while the lawyer keeps handling the matter.
