Legal Question in Medical Malpractice in Michigan

Re: Bad Breast Argumentation

The first step in my analysis of every malpractice case is to determine whether you have suffered SUBSTANTIAL harm if indeed there is malpractice. If you have suffered very significant harm sufficient to warrant investment of about $30,000 in costs to prepare a medical negligence case for trial, we next try to determine whether malpractice actually exists. Doing so requires the opinion of another physician.

Re: Bad Breast Argumentation

These types of cases are very different than most. First, the documents that you signed prior to the surgery are used exclusively against the patient, in order to make it much more difficult to sue. The size discrepancy is also difficult because it involves a matter of judgment. Perhaps the implants were misplaced. That would take another surgeon to diagnose. What I would do is first, keep in mind that the statute of limitations on these cases is extremely short......2 years from the date of the surgery. You can't wait until the 2 years is almost up. You must act immediately. Second, pick a surgeon out of the area for a second opinion. Look out of state and make sure that you pick one who will give you a disinterested opinion. You'd be surprised to find how many will go out of their way to screw a patient suing a doctor. If you find that the first doctor committed malpractice, then act immediately but get on this because the time limit runs fast.
