We recently filed a nursing home neglect lawsuit in the Saginaw County Circuit Court for a client who suffered a serious bed sore in a nursing facility.  The patient was admitted to the nursing home for recovery after a cardiac procedure at a Saginaw hospital.  He had numerous risk factors for developing a pressure ulcer but was not provided the necessary preventive measures at the nursing home.

The patient was in the nursing home for less than fourteen days and was discharged home.  Shortly after discharge, a visiting nurse observed the pressure sore on his sacrum.  He was re-admitted to the hospital and required surgery due to the severity of the sore.  He also had a significant infection which caused a lengthy hospitalization.

The suit alleges that the nursing home staff and the nursing home doctor were negligent in their care of the patient.  It seeks damages for the pain and suffering caused by the bed sore and other similar type damages.  A claim for medical expenses and home care has also been made.  No trial date has been set by the court.

Our Flint medical malpractice lawyers handle medical negligence cases against doctors, hospitals, clinics and nursing homes in the Flint area and throughout Genesee  County.  According to the American Medical Association, every year in the United States more than 80,000 people die because of medical malpractice.   Many of these deaths give rise to a medical malpractice lawsuit and a wrongful death lawsuit.

 What is medical malpractice?

 Basically, medical malpractice occurs when a medical professional or health care institution is negligent and causes harm or damage to their patient.  This includes doctors, nurses, clinics and hospitals.

 Medical negligence can arise from something that was done (a negligent act) or something that was not done (an omission).  For example, if a surgeon cuts the wrong artery during a surgery, this might be considered a negligent act.  Likewise, if a doctor fails to order necessary x-rays or lab testing, this is also negligence but is considered to be an omission.

 What are the different types of medical malpractice?

 There are many types of medical malpractice for both negligent acts and or omissions.  The most common types are:

•  Birth injuries
• Surgical errors
• Operating room mistakes
• Anesthesia mistakes
• Radiology errors & misread x-rays
• Nursing negligence
• Patient Falls
• Medication mistakes
• Hospital infections
• Misdiagnosis

 What are the rights of victims of medical malpractice?

 Medical malpractice laws are designed to protect patients’ rights to seek compensation if they are injured as a result of medical malpractice. Under Michigan law, you can seek compensation for any injury caused by medical malpractice.  However, these cases generally take a lot of time and money to litigate and try, so it is usually unrealistic to seek damages, or sue for any injury or damage that is minor or heals quickly.  Medical malpractice that causes death to the patient gives rise to a Michigan Wrongful Death Lawsuit.

How much time to I have to file a Michigan medical malpractice case?

 Generally in Michigan, you have 2 years to make a medical malpractice claim from the time the negligent act or omission; but there are many variables with this particular Statute of Limitations.  It is essential to contact a lawyer immediately so that you do not miss any important deadlines that can destroy your case.

 When should I contact a medical malpractice lawyer?

 If you believe you have a medical malpractice claim, it is important to consult with an experienced Michigan medical malpractice lawyer who can help you determine if you have a claim that under Michigan law.  The sooner you contact the lawyer, the better so that an investigation can be started immediately and to protect your claims under the Statute of Limitations.
