Oakland County Medical Malpractice Lawyer
Southfield Personal Injury Attorney
Have you or a loved one sustained serious injuries after being treated

the law allows you to file a malpractice lawsuit against the physician

amount of time to file said lawsuit before your case may be denied.

Protecting Your Rights as a Patient
As a patient, you have a multitude of medical rights that must be upheld
by your provider, but one of the most important rights is the right to
receive adequate and appropriate care. When a doctor or other healthcare
provider fails to diagnose or treat you properly, you are not receiving
adequate and appropriate care. If you sustained injuries from said negligence,
you have the right to file a malpractice claim.
However, the filing requirements for a medical malpractice suit are incredibly
rigorous and challenging to navigate without proper assistance. For example,
you must have an affidavit of merit, which is when a medical professional
proves you were the victim of medical malpractice. If you fail to meet
any of the necessary requirements for filing a medical malpractice lawsuit,
you could lose the right to file a lawsuit against said medical professional
or hospital—no matter how severe your case may be.

Studies have shown nearly 440,000 people die every year as a result of
preventable medical errors. If you believe you sustained injuries due to medical malpractice, help
ensure others do not suffer similar or more severe injuries by holding
the healthcare professional responsible for their negligent actions.
