When medical professionals fail to meet the standards of care patients deserve, the consequences can be devastating.

With more than 27 years of trial experience, our firm holds healthcare providers accountable for preventable errors that cause injury or wrongful death.

Understanding Medical Malpractice in Michigan

A medical malpractice claim arises when a doctor, nurse, hospital, or healthcare provider breaches the standard of care — the level of skill and diligence that a reasonably competent professional would provide under similar circumstances.

Michigan law requires expert testimony and a formal Notice of Intent before filing a malpractice lawsuit. Our attorneys guide clients through every procedural step required under the Michigan Medical Malpractice Act and court rules.

For reference:

• Michigan Public Health Code §333.20201 – Patient Rights & Hospital Obligations

• Michigan Compiled Laws – Malpractice Statutes

• Michigan Court Rules – Medical Malpractice Procedures

Common Types of Medical Negligence We Handle

• Misdiagnosis and Delayed Diagnosis

• Surgical Errors and Anesthesia Mistakes

• Birth Injuries (cerebral palsy, Erb’s palsy, obstetric trauma)

• Medication and Prescription Errors

• Failure to Monitor Patients or recognize complications

• Emergency Room Negligence and Hospital Liability

• Neglect in Nursing Homes or Assisted Care Facilities

Each case requires in-depth medical review and expert analysis. Our firm works with leading specialists to evaluate care standards, causation, and long-term damages.

Michigan’s Malpractice Requirements and Deadlines

Michigan has strict procedural requirements and deadlines for filing malpractice claims, including:

• Notice of Intent (NOI): Must be served at least 182 days before filing suit.

• Affidavit of Merit: Requires expert certification that malpractice occurred.

• Statute of Limitations: Generally two years from the date of malpractice (MCL 600.5805).

Our attorneys ensure compliance with all procedural deadlines and fight to prevent insurers and hospitals from hiding behind technical defenses.

• MCL 600.5805 – Limitation Periods for Actions

• MCL 600.2912b – Notice of Intent Requirements

Proving Medical Negligence

To win a medical malpractice case in Michigan, a plaintiff must prove:

1. The existence of a doctor–patient relationship;

2. A breach of the standard of care;

3. Causation — that the negligence caused injury or death; and

4. Damages — physical, emotional, or financial harm.

Our firm meticulously gathers hospital records, deposition testimony, and expert opinions to prove each element and hold negligent providers accountable.
