Consider yourselves lucky that this is all that is being considered. In Michigan, there are caps on damages, you have to file Notice of Intent to sue six months in advance of the lawsuit fully detailing the alleged malpractice and you have to file a deailed Affidavit of Merit, with a doctor\’s signature, with the lawsuit. Plus, the doctor signing the documents must have the exact certification of the doctor who committed the malpractice. There has to be seperate Notices for each doctor or facility named in the lawsuit. Cases get tossed out left and right due to technicalities, rather than being decided on the merits. It\’s sad when physician and insurance lobbys rule the day rather than justice. Funny, our insruance rates are still very high since this \”reform,\” yet insurance companies are still seeing huge profits. This is just the beginning TN.
