Medical Malpractice in Michigan

Doctors, nurses, pharmacists, and other healthcare professionals accept a crucial duty when they decide to work in the healthcare industry. At some point, nearly everyone will visit a medical professional, whether it be in an emergency room, operating room or an outpatient visit to a primary care provider. For the most part, healthcare providers help patients overcome their ailments; however, occasionally a medical professional's negligence causes real harm to a patient.

A medical malpractice case can be based on any type of medical error. Given that medicine, and healthcare more broadly, is a large field, there are various types of medical negligence, including:

  • Misdiagnosis or failure to diagnose
  • Failure to follow up with a patient regarding a course of treatment
  • Unnecessary surgery
  • Incorrect surgery
  • Failure to order appropriate testing
  • Prescribing the wrong medication or the wrong dose of medication
  • Surgical errors
  • Healthcare-associated infections
  • Pressure ulcers or bedsores

After suffering from a medical error, there will be questions. Not all mistakes are straightforward, and you may be unsure whether the doctor violated a duty of care. You may have questions about where to obtain the best follow-up medical care, whether you will need an expert witness, or what types of compensation you may be able to recover.
