Michigan Medical Malpractice Attorney

According to certain studies, medical negligence is the third-leading cause of death in the United States, following heart disease and cancer. This translates to about 440,000 patients who are injured or somehow harmed as a result of medical malpractice every year. While this number may seem shockingly high, it is important to remember that not all acts of medical malpractice are malicious. Mistakes, carelessness, and other accidents caused by doctors, nurses, and other medical professionals can all be considered medical malpractice.

What Is Medical Malpractice?

In all fields and professions, there is a certain degree of acceptable error – and no patient should expect that positive health care outcomes are guaranteed. However, when doctors and medical professionals fail to meet the standard of care for their background and the situation at hand, you may be eligible to file a lawsuit against them and/or the healthcare provider.

To prove medical malpractice, you will need to show the following:

• Duty: Your doctor or provider had a “duty of care” established through a patient relationship with you.
• Violation: Your doctor or provider deviated from the standard of care required of them.
• Damages: You suffered significant physical, emotional, and financial losses as a result of that violation of duty.
• Direct cause: Your doctor or provider’s violation was the direct cause of your damages.

Medical malpractice, unfortunately, can occur due to various contributing factors, often arising from a combination of human error, system failures, or miscommunications.

Some common contributing factors include:

• Human Error: Mistakes made by healthcare professionals, such as misdiagnosis, errors in prescription or dosage, surgical errors, or failure to follow proper procedures, can result in malpractice.
• Communication Issues: Inadequate communication among healthcare providers, between doctors and patients, or within a healthcare team can lead to misunderstandings, incorrect treatments, or missed symptoms.
• Lack of Experience or Training: Insufficient training, lack of experience, or failure to stay updated with current medical practices may result in errors during diagnosis, treatment, or surgery.
• System Failures: Flaws within the healthcare system, such as understaffing, inadequate protocols, faulty equipment, or issues with electronic health records, can contribute to errors or oversights.
• Informed Consent Issues: Failure to adequately inform patients about the risks, benefits, and alternatives to a particular treatment or procedure could lead to malpractice claims, especially if patients were not aware of potential complications.
• Patient-related Factors: Non-compliance by patients with prescribed treatments or failure to provide accurate medical history and information can also contribute to medical errors.
• Time Pressure and Workload: High workload, fatigue, and time constraints on healthcare professionals can lead to errors or oversights in patient care.
• Diagnostic Errors: Misinterpreting test results, failing to order necessary tests, or delayed diagnosis can significantly impact patient outcomes and contribute to malpractice claims.
• Documentation Errors: Inaccurate or incomplete medical records, charts, or documentation can lead to misunderstandings, incorrect treatments, or improper follow-up care.
• Failure to Follow Standards: Not adhering to established medical standards, guidelines, or best practices could result in substandard care and potential malpractice claims.
