Our Lansing accident injury lawyers recently settled a Lansing medical malpractice case in a wrongful death lawsuit against a Lansing area hospital and anesthesiologist.  The lawsuit was on behalf of the family of our client who died as a result of anesthesia errors during a routine colonoscopy and settled for a confidential amount.

Anesthesia, or anaesthesia, has traditionally meant the condition of having sensation (including the feeling of pain) blocked or temporarily taken away.  The most common anesthesia errors can lead to injuries, including brain injuries and even death. Not all risk factors are due to a medical malpractice. To prove a medical malpractice case in Michigan, there must be a credible expert witness testimony by another physician that explains why treating physician acted in a negligent matter.

We recently filed a Lansing medical malpractice lawsuit against a Lansing hospital and several Lansing area physicians.  The lawsuit was brough under the Michigan Wrongful Death Act and seeks damages for the family of a 54 year old woman who died from anesthesia complications while undergoing a routine outpatient procedure.  The suit alleges that her gastroenterologist, the anesthesiologist, and others were negligent in their care and this caused her death.

The woman suffered a respiratory arrest during the procedure and a full code was called to rescusitate her.  She was rushed to a local emergency room but by that time had suffered a hypoxic brain injury.  She was never able to come back from that injury and eventually died.

The suit was filed on behalf of her husband, three daughters, and her grandchildren.  Damages sought in this case include the loss of companionship suffered by the family, the loss of her income, and the loss of her services provided to family members at the home.  The suit contends that the death was preventable if the medical staff had properly monitored her during the procedure and taken necessary measures when her condition continued to worsen.  The case is currently pending in the Ingham County Circuit Court and no trial date has been set.

Our Lansing medical malpractice lawyers handle medical negligence cases against doctors, hospitals, clinics and nursing homes in the Lansing area and throughout Ingham 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.
