Q: Is there an alternative to filing a medical malpractice lawsuit if no permanent damage was caused?
To date, I do not know if there was any permanent damage from my physician's negligence. Due to a medication error and neglect of my specialist, I ended up very ill, was directed to go to the ER and was admitted for potassium toxicity. Doctor was negligent in failing to order lab work after surgical procedure or adjust medications.
A: A Michigan attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. You could reach out to med mal attorneys in your state to try to set up a no obligation-free initial consult. An experienced attorney should be able to help you outline your rights and options. Good luck
