What is Medical Malpractice?
Medical malpractice, often called medical negligence, is the term used to describe a wrong committed by a doctor or other medical professional who caused them bodily harm. Medical negligence is much more than the physician or other health care provider making a simple mistake. Medical malpractice occurs when a health care provider improperly treats a patient or performs treatment in a negligent manner. Many times, a physician or hospital fails to use appropriate treatment methods or neglects the patient. The results of this inadequate and inappropriate care can cause significant permanent injuries and even death.
Common Examples of Medical Malpractice
Injuries commonly resulting from medical malpractice include the following:
- Wrongful Death
- Misdiagnosed cancer (lung cancer, cervical cancer, breast cancer)
- Birth Injuries such as cerebral palsy and shoulder dystocia
- Misread x-rays and pap smears
- Emergency room error
- Medication error
- Surgical error
- Anesthesia error

Individuals who suspect that malpractice has occurred should contact the Southfield, Michigan, law firm of Buckfire & Buckfire, P.C. immediately.

Testimonials
The insurance company refused to pay my benefits. Mr. Buckfire filed a lawsuit against them and made them pay every penny that they owed... Every time I see my doctor, I thank her again for the referral to Buckfire & Buckfire.

Because of his efforts, we proved that the other driver was at fault and the driver's insurance company paid a significant settlement for our injury claims... Hiring his firm to represent my son and myself was the best decision I could have possibly made. Many thanks for the great work.

My husband died when a truck left the roadway and struck him. He was off the shoulder of the roadway helping another motorist pull his car out of a snow bank The work that they did helped me settle my Michigan wrongful death case for $1,600,000.00. Their knowledge of law was second to none and they hired the best experts to prove my case.
