What Is Medical Malpractice?
Medicine is not perfect — and it would be unrealistic to expect perfection from health care professionals. Medical malpractice means that a physician, doctor, or medical establishment fails to meet the standard of care in their practice or is negligent in their treatment of their patient. While there are many different scenarios that could be brought forward in a medical malpractice claim, the most common in Detroit areas are:
Errors from miscalculated anesthesia
Misdiagnosis creating harmful effects or delays in care
Wrong prescriptions or incorrect doses
Surgical errors
The result of medical malpractice can be catastrophic, leading to wrongful death, brain injury, paralysis, and more.
People who are victims of medical malpractice can experience any or all of the following:
Pain and suffering
Loss of income
Brain damage
Paralysis
Amputation
Other serious injuries
Don't Let Your Statute Of Limitations Run
In Michigan, the law imposes a statute of limitations, which sets a maximum amount of time that legal proceedings can occur after the date the incident. Patients have limited time to file a claim for medical malpractice after identifying a mistake or two years after the date of the injury.
