Most Michiganders have endured medical procedures. They probably felt that twinge of fear that tends to strike in the hours or even days leading up to the operation. More often than not, those who undergo surgery find themselves relieved when they wake up to find that the procedure was nothing short of a success. In some instances, though, these operations go horribly wrong, and people are seriously injured or killed as a result.
Whiplash is one reason to see your doctor after a crash
You may feel fine, if a little shaken up, immediately after a minor to moderate car accident. However, a day or two later, you start to feel stiff and sore. You might even have difficulty moving your head and neck, and just getting through the day can be excruciating. Like many Michigan residents after a car crash, you may be suffering from whiplash.
Understanding medication errors
Mistakes can occur during the prescribing, dispensing or administering of medication. According to Johns Hopkins Medicine, medication errors are the third leading cause of death in America. This means it is an issue that deserves immediate attention.
We've been advocating for victims for more than 30 years
Recently on the blog we discussed the pervasiveness of distracted driving. Sadly, far too many Michiganders engage in other activities while driving, which significantly increases the chances that they will be involved in a serious car accident. Those innocent motorists and pedestrians who are affected by these wrecks can be left with extensive injuries that can be painful to cope with and expensive to treat. In addition, these victims may find themselves on uncertain financial footing when they are unable to work. The emotional turmoil unfairly thrust upon them can be devastating, too.
