What is Medical Malpractice?

每个医疗专业人员都应该为每个病人提供一定程度的护理. This includes doctors, 外科医生, 牙医, 护士, 助手, 药剂师, and any other medical professional. 当其中一人未能提供预期的护理水平时, it can be considered negligence, or medical malpractice. To prove medical malpractice, 必须证明，在同样的情况下，任何其他医疗专业人员都能提供更高水平的护理. Our attorneys can help you gather evidence to file a claim.

What Are the Four Elements of Medical Malpractice?

To prove medical malpractice in court, it’s necessary to demonstrate 四种元素: duty, dereliction, direct cause, and damages.

Duty: The Duty of Care Owed to Patients

Health care providers, 诊所, 医院有责任为病人提供合理标准的护理. This applies whenever there’s a professional relationship in place, such as going to the doctor’s office for a checkup, scheduling surgery, or visiting the emergency room.

Dereliction: Breach of Care

如果医疗专业人员违反了合理的护理标准，这被称为玩忽职守. Operating on the wrong patient is an obvious breach of duty of care. 可能需要专家证词来证明有能力的医疗专业人员不会犯错误.

Direct Cause: The Breach of Care Caused Injury

有必要证明医生的行为对伤害负有直接责任. 例如，一位外科医生喝醉了，做了一个切口，导致神经损伤. Proving this requires gathering evidence, which is why working with a medical malpractice attorney is important.

Damages: Economic and Noneconomic Losses

损害赔偿金指的是由于医疗事故造成的经济后果. 医生的错误可能会让你支付额外的手术费用. Perhaps you lost your job because of the accident. 损害还包括情感伤害，尤其是在性行为不端的情况下.

What Are Common Types of Medical Malpractice?

Several kinds of medical malpractice are more common than others:

Failure to diagnose: 医生不会做出任何称职的健康专家都能做出的诊断.
Failure to warn patients of risks: 医生知道某种治疗有严重的风险，却不告诉病人.
Incompetent administration of treatment: Treatment isn’t administered correctly, such as giving the wrong dose.
Wrong treatment: 医生选择了一种称职的卫生专业人员会避免的治疗方法.

How Do Medical Malpractice Claims Work in Michigan?

在密歇根, there are several elements to a medical malpractice claim; for example, the existence of a health care-patient relationship, the applicable standard of care, the negligent conduct, 因果关系, and the harm resulting from the medical malpractice, such as loss of life, 残疾, pain and suffering, medical expenses and other economic losses. 某些细微差别适用于医疗事故案件，例如MCL§600中的通知要求.2912(b)和2年的诉讼时效(在大多数情况下，某些例外情况适用). Common medical malpractice cases involve errors in surgery, 治疗失败, incorrect treatment, failure to diagnose, and improper hospital care.

What are Some Malpractice Case Examples?

医疗事故的范围从极其离奇的场景到仅仅是疏忽造成的严重后果. 每个案例都是独特的，需要医疗事故律师的个性化观察.

Some examples of real cases include:

A surgeon leaving an object inside a patient. 这种情况发生得太频繁了，从海绵和抹布到金属工具都有. Sometimes this causes immediate health concerns, 而其他时候，病人直到几年后才知道它发生了，因为他或她的健康状况开始恶化.
A pharmacist filling the wrong prescription. 有时处方上还会配上更高剂量的正确药物, 有时病人接受的药物与医生开的完全不同. 在很多情况下, 当病人对药物有不良反应时，这种情况很快就会被发现, or when the health issue that required a prescription fails to improve.
A doctor failing to diagnose a condition correctly. 这可能很棘手，因为有时医生确实无法根据他或她所掌握的信息做出正确的诊断. 医生可能会让病人进行一次又一次的检查，但没有正确的结果来做出诊断. 如果其他医生能在做了同样的检查后诊断出这种疾病, 然而, it could be considered malpractice.
A hospital employee not following through. 也许是医院的护士忽视了紧急呼叫，或者是医院的工作人员没有完成卫生措施. These types of situations can be serious, if not life-threatening.
