What constitutes medical malpractice in Michigan?

Medical malpractice happens when a healthcare provider violates the standard of care—and that failure causes harm.

This includes situations like:

  • Misdiagnosing or failing to diagnose a serious condition
  • Surgical errors (wrong site surgery, leaving tools inside the body)
  • Birth injuries caused by negligence
  • Prescribing the wrong medication or dosage
  • Ignoring patient symptoms or failing to order necessary tests

Michigan law requires that the care you receive meet accepted medical standards. If it doesn’t—and you’re seriously hurt as a result—you may have a claim.

Medical malpractice cases in Michigan are complex and have strict rules, including:

  • Expert testimony is required
  • A Notice of Intent must be filed before suing
  • There's a two-year statute of limitations, with rare exceptions

💉 If a doctor’s mistake changed your life, you deserve answers—and accountability. At Marko Law, we dig deep and fight hard to make sure victims are heard.
