LAW OFFICE OF EDWARD L. LONG, JR. · MACON, GEORGIA
Macon Medical Malpractice Attorney
When medical care is followed by a serious injury, families may have questions about what happened and where to turn. The Law Office of Edward L. Long, Jr. represents individuals and families harmed by the negligence of a doctor, nurse, or hospital.
MEDICAL NEGLIGENCE
Help for individuals and families.
The firm focuses on significant injury cases involving medical malpractice, including matters in which a family has lost a loved one. If you are concerned about the care you or a family member received, contact the office to explain what happened.
A useful starting point is the sequence of events: where the care took place, which providers were involved, and how the injury has affected daily life. You do not need to put your concerns into legal language to make an initial inquiry.
Questions to organize before you call
- Where and when did the medical care take place?
- What happened during treatment, and what concerns you about the care?
- What injury or change in health followed?
- What records, bills, or correspondence do you already have?
EXPERIENCE ON BOTH SIDES
A background in medical malpractice defense.
Before representing injured individuals, Ed Long defended medical malpractice cases. In 2010, he left defense practice to represent people and families injured through another’s negligence.
That background gives his current practice experience with how medical negligence claims are challenged as well as how they are presented. His work now focuses on helping injured people pursue their claims.
Medical knowledge within the firm.
The firm’s medical support team includes in-house physician Dr. Monica R. Stone and on-staff nurses Lisa Brown and Reneé Darnell. Their clinical backgrounds include obstetrics and gynecology, intensive care, surgery, and trauma care.
This medical perspective supports the firm’s understanding of injuries and its work with clients’ medical care providers. Learn more about the medical and legal support team.
