Medical Malpractice

Medical malpractice occurs when a hospital, doctor's office or medical professional has failed to provide medical care that meets the required standards.   Whether negligence or wrongdoing, we have the right to expect adequate services from our health care professionals.  We should expect them to properly diagnose the conditions we suffer from, to prescribe the correct type and amount of medication, and to perform medical treatments with responsibility and skill to assist in our health.

Proof Of Medical Malpractice

It is important to know that you must be able to prove three criteria in order to file a medical malpractice claim.  You must:

• Prove your doctor failed to provide the standard of care and s/he made a mistake a reasonable doctor would not have.
• Show that your injury is a result of your doctor's negligence or wrongdoing.
• Show the damages suffered from the mistake.

Additionally, all cases are subject to a statute of limitations.  In Michigan, the time to file a medical malpractice lawsuit is usually two years from the date of the injury, though this time limit can vary depending on the specific circumstances of your case.
