Detroit Accident Attorneys Answer Your Legal Questions

Q: What can I do if I was a victim of malpractice during surgery at a Michigan hospital?

A: Under Michigan law, a patient can sue a hospital under limited circumstances.  If the malpractice was committed by a hospital employee, then the patient can sue the hospital. This includes cases where negligence is committed by nurses, radiologists, anesthesiologists, emergency room physicians, and other hospital employees. If the malpractice was committed by a surgeon who was not directly employed at the hospital, then it depends on a number of factors, and the hospital is only liable under certain circumstances.  It is important to contact an experienced Michigan medical malpractice attorney at The Thurswell Law Firm to make this determination.
