I am so honored to have Attorney Felton and his team representing me. And, this is why I would recommend this firm to everyone seeking to be treated respected with top tier service.

Negligence and malpractice by a doctor, nurse, or other care provider violates the trust you placed in that professional’s skill and attentiveness. The wounds from these events are more than just physical — they can also be financial, mental, and emotional. No matter how such an event impacts you, you deserve fair and just compensation.
The experienced trial attorneys at Seay/Felton, LLC understand how these careless acts can impact you. Our Georgia medical malpractice lawyers are intimately familiar with Georgia’s malpractice laws and how they can be used to help you achieve justice and recover financial compensation.

Medical Malpractice in Georgia Explained
Georgia law requires every adult to act with reasonable care toward others so as not to cause unnecessary harm. Doctors, nurses, and other workers are no exception. These individuals are also expected to perform their duties with skill and appropriate caution.
Malpractice occurs when a medical provider commits an avoidable error that injures you or a loved one. Avoidable errors are mistakes and omissions a reasonably careful provider faced with the same situation would not have committed. Common examples include:
- Failing to diagnose a condition promptly and accurately
- Prescribing or dispensing the incorrect medication or dosage
- Operating on an incorrect body part or organ
- Leaving surgical tools or foreign objects in an incision or wound
- Not adequately monitoring a patient’s vital signs during a procedure
When these and similar lapses in judgment lead to injuries, negative medical outcomes, or other adverse effects, Seay/Felton can offer crucial assistance.
Proving malpractice can be difficult and may require the use of medical and other experts. Our firm has the resources to build a solid claim for compensation and ensure that your or your loved one’s needs are adequately addressed.
Time Limits to File for Medical Malpractice in Georgia
You only have a limited amount of time to file for compensation after being injured by your healthcare provider.
This period is known as the statute of limitations, and in Georgia, it’s only two years. Failing to file a medical malpractice claim within this two-year window can mean losing any opportunity to recover compensation for your injuries.
At Seay/Felton, we understand that being hurt by a careless doctor or nurse can be an unnerving and confusing experience. With over 50 years of combined legal experience helping injured Georgians like yourself, we can assure you that your claim is in good hands.
We don’t charge any fees if we don’t win your case, so you have nothing to lose by contacting us for a case review.
What to Expect When You Retain Seay/Felton Trial Attorneys

- Collect your medical records, bills, and other important documents
- Investigate your claim by talking with your provider and other witnesses
- Ensure that your claim for compensation is filed in a timely manner

- Attempt to settle your claim on terms that are fair to you
- Take your case to court, if necessary

How Long Does It Take to Settle a Georgia Malpractice Case?
Unfortunately, there’s no way to know exactly how long your case will take to reach a settlement or verdict. Many factors combine to determine how long a case takes to resolve, some of which you can’t control. Some cases resolve within weeks, while others can take months or longer.
One thing you can control is the law firm you hire to represent you. Choosing a firm like Seay/Felton that’s successfully handled numerous claims can mean the difference between being compensated quickly and fairly and receiving a settlement that’s too low to address your injuries, lost wages, and other losses.
Proven Success: Our Results Speak For Themselves
One feature of Georgia medical malpractice cases is that your claim must be accompanied by an expert witness’s affidavit describing how the care you received fell below acceptable professional standards. Seay/Felton has connections with reputable expert witnesses who can meet this vital requirement.

Mr. Seay handled my case for my daughter who passed away in 2015. Although it took almost 7 years, he stuck with me through thick and thin. His attention to detail, caring nature and tenacity shined through every step of the way. His dedication allowed a favorable outcome that our family will be forever grateful for. He will always have a special place in our hearts. I would recommend him for any case as he is a lawyer who truly fights for his clients 100% every time.

Katrina Hawkins
Attorney Quinton Seay and his paralegal, Lori Wyche, did an excellent job handling my mother’s medical malpractice lawsuit and won a very good settlement. No amount of money can replace what my mother went through. However, Attorney Seay got me some closer by making the liable party accountable. Malpractice cases are long and tedious, but Attorney Seay was persistent and kept fighting. Lori Wyche was the best. She always made sure I stayed informed, explained everything in detail, was compassionate and professional the entire time. I would definitely recommend Seay/Felton Trial Lawyers. They have the experience, knowledge and they get results.
