If you have a loved one in a nursing home who has experienced an injury, or if you or one of your family members has just had a hospital or medical procedure that did not go well there is a case for a medical malpractice lawsuit. If the injury is because of poor care and performance by the hospital staff or the physician, then it is imperative that you contact a medical malpractice attorney at Cochran, Kroll & Associates, P.C. to begin a negligence claim against those who may have caused the injury.
In Michigan, and the rest of the country, all hospitals, physicians, and elderly care facilities must meet a standard of reasonable care when working with residents and patients. The term reasonable care means that the care given should be at the same level of competence that any other professional performing the same task would strive to deliver. If the person or institution did not meet this standard, then there can be a claim on negligence filed leading to a medical malpractice lawsuit.
Preparing a case for a medical malpractice suit is a very involved job because of the influence that insurance companies have over the litigation process. In the first phase of filing a claim the insurance company has to be contacted, and they will have a prepared strategy for settling the claim as soon as possible while providing the least amount of compensation.
A good attorney will work their hardest to investigate the reasons for the injury or neglect, and they will uncover the details behind the treatment, the persons involved in the procedure, and any possible product liability if medical devices were used. In addition, you will want a medical malpractice attorney who knows the statutes in Michigan and the various timelines that must be adhered to keep the case moving forward. Lastly, you want a strong negotiator and one who has a proven record of success in settling claims and winning trials with the maximum compensation for their clients.
On October 11, 2006, the family of Jason and Julie Rowe were awarded a record 15.8 million dollars due to the medical negligence involving the birth of their son who developed cerebral palsy when the physicians made poor decisions at birth. The lawyers, in this case, stressed the fact that the doctors should have recommended a c-section when natural birth was not working.
