Why Legal Representation Is Crucial

Navigating a medical malpractice claim can be complex and demanding. Proper legal representation is crucial because:

Our clients often have many questions for us. Here are some common ones and their answers.

What qualifies as medical malpractice in Michigan?

In Michigan, medical malpractice occurs when a health care provider fails to provide the standard of care that a reasonably competent provider, in a similar situation, would have provided, and this results in harm to the patient. This can include actions taken by the provider as well as any failures to act (omissions).

What is the damage cap for medical malpractice in Michigan?

Michigan places a cap on noneconomic damages in medical malpractice cases, which include compensation for pain and suffering, emotional distress and other intangible injuries. You can receive unlimited compensation for your financial losses.

In Michigan, the statute of limitations for filing a medical malpractice lawsuit is generally two years from the date of the act or omission that gave rise to the injury. However, if the injury was not discovered right away, a case must be filed within six months of the date when the injury was (or should have been) discovered, but no more than six years from the date of the malpractice, unless there are exceptions applicable such as for minors or those who are legally incapacitated.
