Tami Carter v. William O. Cornwell et al..

Automated case summary

What the court decided

The Georgia Court of Appeals held that a claim against the physician for altering a prescription was professional malpractice because it questioned his professional judgment, while a claim against the practice for failing to verify a prescription was simple negligence. Consequently, the court affirmed part of the trial court's dismissal and reversed part of its decision regarding the requirement for an expert affidavit in both cases.
