How We Evaluate Cancer Misdiagnosis Claims in Michigan

A viable claim generally requires evidence that a health care provider failed to meet the applicable standard of care and that the failure more probably than not caused an injury. We compare what happened with what should have occurred when symptoms, imaging, pathology results, or other warning signs appeared.

Medical records and review by qualified medical professionals may be needed to determine whether the care fell below the required standard and caused measurable harm.

The evaluation commonly addresses:

• Provider conduct: Whether appropriate tests, referrals, follow-up appointments, or diagnostic procedures should have been ordered or completed.
• Medical causation: Whether the provider’s conduct caused a delay, unnecessary treatment, cancer progression, or another identifiable harm.
• Resulting losses: Whether the patient experienced additional treatment, expenses, physical complications, emotional distress, lost income, or death.

Under Michigan law, recovery for a lost opportunity to survive or achieve a better medical result generally requires proof that the lost opportunity was greater than 50 percent. Whether this rule applies depends on the medical evidence and the legal theory supported by the facts.

Preparing for a Free Consultation

Gather what you already have, but don’t postpone contacting us because your records are incomplete. Helpful materials may include:

• Medical records, imaging, pathology reports, and biopsy results
• Medication information, appointment histories, and referral documents
• Medical bills and a written timeline of symptoms and diagnoses

During a free consultation, we can identify the providers, dates, records, medical questions, and filing issues that may require closer review. A consultation doesn’t assume that malpractice occurred or obligate you to pursue a claim.
