Wrong-site surgery in Michigan
Wrong-site surgery claims fall within our Surgical Errors practice, and they share a hard reality: when someone else's negligence turns your life upside down, the responsible party and their insurer rarely step forward to make it right. A preventable surgical error can leave a patient worse off than before the operation. Our firm represents injured people across Michigan and holds those at fault accountable for the harm they caused.
The right question is not only what happened, but who was responsible, and we prove it.
How these cases happen
These cases involve wrong-site surgery, retained instruments, anesthesia errors, and mistakes no competent surgeon should make. What matters in your case is the same in every serious claim: what went wrong, who was responsible, and how the harm connects back to that failure. We build that connection with evidence, not assumptions.
What we prove
Why these claims get minimized
Insurance companies protect their bottom line, and one of the most common tactics is to argue that your injury is not serious, or that you were somehow at fault. Michigan law does not require you to accept that framing, and neither do we.
How we help
From the first call to the final resolution, we handle the investigation, the paperwork, and the negotiation, and we prepare every case as if it will go to trial. Your consultation is free, and you pay no fee unless we recover for you. You can contact us any time, or learn more about Joumana Kayrouz and how we fight for the injured.
