Choosing Medical Malpractice Lawyers: A Guide
Choosing the right medical malpractice lawyer is one of the most important decisions you can make after serious medical negligence or birth injury experience. Michigan medical malpractice cases are complex, highly technical, and governed by strict procedural rules. The attorney you choose can determine whether your case moves forward—or never gets off the ground.
Below are key considerations to help you find the right medical malpractice attorney, and how our approach at Hoffer & Sheremet reflects those principles.
Why Medical Malpractice Cases Are Different
Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider fails to meet the accepted standard of care and a patient is harmed as a result. These cases often involve misdiagnosis, surgical errors, birth injuries, delayed treatment, medication mistakes, or failures in post‑operative care.
Unlike other claims, Michigan medical malpractice cases adhere to a complex process; missing any step could affect a claim. That’s why experience and focus matter.
What to Look for in a Michigan Medical Malpractice Lawyer
Focused Medical Malpractice Experience:
Not every personal injury lawyer handles medical malpractice—and for good reason. These cases require deep familiarity with medical records, standards of care, expert testimony, and Michigan-specific legal rules. Look for a firm that concentrates on medical malpractice, not one that handles it occasionally.
Knowledge of Michigan Law and Procedures:
Medical malpractice laws vary by state. Your attorney should regularly handle Michigan malpractice cases and understand the timelines, expert requirements, and procedural hurdles unique to this area of law.
Access to Qualified Medical Experts:
Strong malpractice cases are built on credible medical experts. An experienced firm will have established relationships with physicians and specialists who can evaluate your care and testify when necessary.
Clear, Honest Communication:
You deserve to understand what’s happening with your case. A good malpractice lawyer should explain complex medical and legal issues clearly, keep you informed, and be honest about both the strengths and challenges of your claim.
Reputation and Client Experience:
Client reviews and peer recognition can offer insight into how a firm treats the people it represents. Look for attorneys known for professionalism, transparency, and compassion—not just results.
