Determining Whether Medical Malpractice Occurred Requires Expert Investigation.

Michigan Medical Malpractice Attorneys

Horror stories regarding medical errors, such as a patient undergoing surgery wakes up to find the wrong limb was operated on, circulate from time to time.  Even though medical errors shouldn't occur, they occur more frequently than you think. Michigan Medical malpractice can result in unnecessary pain of a patient or even death. Astonishingly, there are thousands of people who die annually due to preventable errors by health care providers.  

Common examples of a Detroit medical malpractice include improper use of anesthesia, surgical injuries, misdiagnosis, failure to diagnose cancer, emergency room malpractice, failure to prevent blood clots, medication errors, traumatic birth injuries such as oxygen deprivation, Cerebral Palsy, paralysis, brain injury, spinal cord injury, Erb's Palsy/brachial plexus injury, forceps /vacuum extractor injury, fetal distress, premature birth, or even wrongful death.

If a doctor does not give proper medicine to dissolve the blood clots, a patient may die from pulmonary embolism or deep vein thrombosis. If a health care provider does not treat chest pain properly, a patient could have a heart attack or stroke, which can cause death or leave the patient permanently paralyzed. Unfortunately, sometimes doctors in Michigan misdiagnose cancer or they fail to detect it until it is too advanced to fight it. Failing to timely perform necessary surgery to remove the cancer could result in the death of the patient.

Studies show that doctors who are in training are more likely to commit Michigan medical malpractice. If a health care provider prescribes the wrong medicine or the wrong amount of medicine, it could lead to death. Medical errors can be life threatening and remain one of the top ten causes of death in the United States.
