Filing a Lawsuit Against a Hospital ER

In order to prove negligence or establish liability in an emergency room medical malpractice claim or lawsuit in Michigan, the claimant must show the following elements:

  • There was a doctor-patient relationship.

  • The ER doctor owed a duty of care to the patient.

  • The ER doctor deviated from the accepted standard of care in the emergency room.

  • The emergency room treatment involved negligence.

  • The patient was harmed, injured, or died due to the negligent act.

In Michigan, the statute of limitation for medical malpractice lawsuits, including emergency room errors, is two years from the date of the incident. This means that you must take civil action to seek damages within two years of the healthcare provider's action or failure to act that caused the injury.
