Sue Ann Arbor Hospital For Medical Errors & Mistakes
Our Ann Arbor medical malpractice lawyers assist victims of malpractice in suing hospitals that have been negligent and committed serious errors while treating patients. Hospital errors are not uncommon, as they attribute to 225,000 deaths per year. However, the number may even be larger than that, as 80 percent of hospital errors go unreported by hospital employees, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
Hospital errors are a form of medical malpractice and when a patient is injured or dies due to errors in a Michigan hospital, it gives rise to a Michigan lawsuit against a hospital. Some of the most common hospital errors include:
- Wrongful Death
- Misdiagnosed cancer (lung cancer, cervical cancer, breast cancer)
- Birth Injuries/Cerebral Palsy and shoulder dystocia
- Misread x-rays and pap smears
- Emergency room error
- Medication error
- Surgical error
- Anesthesia error
- Severe Bedsores
- Hospital-based infections
Research done by HHS also found that most hospitals where errors were reported rarely changed their policies, and practices to prevent repeated errors. Policies need to be in place to ensure that this does not happen. Medical errors can be prevented.
