Georgia Court of Appeals

Mcg Health, Inc. et al.. v. Laqetria Jordan et al..

A15A2125 February 12, 2016 Affirmed

Automated case summary

What the court decided

The legal issue was whether venue for tort claims under the Georgia Tort Claims Act should be determined by where the negligent acts occurred or where the loss occurred. The Georgia Court of Appeals affirmed the trial court's ruling that venue is proper in DeKalb County because the statute mandates bringing actions in the county where the loss occurred.
