Medical Malpractice Attorney in Detroit

Medical malpractice can fall into a range of categories, and some are more obvious than others. If you make yourself familiar with potential red flags, however, you can quickly seek legal help and fight for the compensation you’re owed.

Here are a few examples of different types of medical malpractice:

• Misdiagnosis: You’re given the wrong diagnosis, which prolongs your symptoms and delays your treatment. 
• Emergency Room Mistakes: A healthcare professional misreads an x-ray or fails to monitor you after treatment.
• Anesthesia Error: The anesthesiologist administers two drugs that interact negatively.
• Medical Device Error: A manufacturing defect causes medical devices to malfunction, or an improperly trained employee misuses a device.
• Hospital Negligence: The hospital hires an unqualified medical professional who administers the wrong medication.

These are just some of the many forms that medical malpractice can take, but there are many others, and no form we can’t handle. Morgan & Morgan’s Detroit attorneys offer the support you need from a firm you can trust.

You expect to be in capable hands when you accept treatment from a medical professional, but even a minor error can have lasting consequences. We look at the entire scope of your injury or condition to determine the full value of your case. 

The factors we look at include:

• Medical expenses (including hospital stays, prescription medication, and physical rehabilitation)
• Pain and suffering (such as anxiety or PTSD)
• Lost wages (from missing time at work)
• Loss of earning capacity (if you lose the ability to make the same amount of money/perform the same work as you did before the incident)
• Loss of consortium (if a spouse or parent suffers a wrongful death due to the incident)

Medical professionals are bound by duty of care, which means they have to live up to the accepted standards of the medical community. If your doctor acts in a way that deviates from these accepted standards — and the professionals who follow them — then duty of care may have been breached: this constitutes negligence.
