Bicycle accidents

Many Detroit, Michigan, bicycle accidents involve motor vehicles. Often, drivers may try to blame the bicyclists instead of taking responsibility for their own negligence.

Several possible causes of a bicycle accident that involve a motor vehicle may include the following:

• A driver cuts off a bicyclist when entering the roadway
• A driver cuts off a bicyclist while making a turn
• A driver or passenger opens the vehicle door in the path of a bicyclist
• A driver fails to pay attention to the right of way of a bicyclist at an intersection

If you were involved in a bicycle accident involving a motor vehicle, you may be covered under no-fault insurance, which is required in Michigan. If you happen to be covered by these benefits, you may receive compensation for medical bills, loss of wages, and household replacement services (if applicable).

Birth injuries and medical malpractice

In some cases, you may seek compensation to cover the costs incurred by medical malpractice. These costs may include further procedures, physical therapy, special schooling, and special medical treatment.

Medical malpractice can include:

• Birth injuries
• Failure to treat
• Misdiagnosis
• Prescription drug errors
• Surgical errors
• Wrongful Death

Incorrectly performed childbirth, for one, can result in trauma such as Erb’s palsy and cerebral palsy. Some childbirth injuries can cause lifelong mental and physical effects for the child and the mother and family. At Mike Morse Law Firm, our personal injury lawyers understand the struggles you may face in the aftermath of medical malpractice and wish to help you recover from traumatic childbirth.

• Delay in ordering a caesarian section
• Failing to diagnose
• Hypoxia or lack of oxygen
• Inadequate use of forceps and vacuum
• Failing to communicate issues that arise to the doctor or patient
• Failing to perform required tests
• Failing to record or address changes in fetus conditions
• Failing to refer high-risk patients to specialized doctors
• Lack of using labor-inducing medications such as Pitocin
• Improper prenatal testing

Common birth injuries

These negligent causes can cause severe injuries to a newborn. Some common injuries include:

• Brachial plexus
• Brain damage
• Facial paralysis
• Fractured clavicle
• Head trauma
• Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy

Hip replacement failure or medical device failure

There are some risks when a patient proceeds with a hip implant. Metal-on-metal implants were found to be associated with a higher rate of failure than those replaced with ceramic or plastic hip implants. This risk is also higher in women. Metal-on-metal implants release toxic metals that can travel to the bloodstream and damage the bones, heart, kidneys, spleen, liver, muscles, and nervous system.

After a hip replacement, there are some symptoms to watch for related to implant failure. These symptoms include:

• Fracture
• Grinding
• Hip pain
• Limited range of motion
• Swelling

If you experience any of these symptoms, you should see a doctor right away. But you should also be quick to hire a personal injury attorney if you believe you have been injured because of a doctor’s negligence in a medical malpractice case.

Placing a family member in a medical facility can be challenging. You go in thinking the nurses and doctors will love and care for your loved ones just as you do. Unfortunately, that is not always the case. Do you believe a family member is suffering from abuse or neglect in a nursing home, hospital, or mental health facility? You may seek compensation for your loved one.
