It’s great to see all of the bikers out enjoying the Michigan streets and highways in this warm Summer weather.  The long winter wait finally ended a few months back and you can see bikers out and about pretty much everywhere you drive.  At least, you should see the bikers if you are paying full attention to the roadway, and not fiddling with your stereo or sending text messages on your phone.

The Michigan motorcycle accident lawyers at my office have received a number of new cases recently for bikers who were injured in serious motorcycle accidents.  All of these have been due to motorists simply not paying attention to the roadway or just disregarding the rights of bikers.  The results of these accidents are often catastrophic.

Bikers injured in Michigan motorcycle accidents do have a number of legal rights.  These often include the right to Michigan No-Fault Insurance Benefits and the right to pursue injury claims against  a negligent motorist or truck driver.  Because the laws relating to motorcycle accidents in Michigan are unique, it is essential to choose a lawyer with expertise in these cases.

Attorney Daniel L. Buckfire in my office is considered a top Michigan motorcycle accident lawyer.  His book, “The Ultimate Michigan Motorcycle Accident Handbook,” is a must read for every biker who has been injured in an accident.  Daniel’s biker clients call him “the best motorcycle accident lawyer in Michigan” and he has a track record of successful settlements to prove it.

I hope that that this Summer proves to be a safe one for bikers in Michigan.  With the proper attention to the roadway, motorists can prevent accidents and injuries to law abiding bikers.  That would make a great Summer.

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.
