When we are under the care of a doctor or medical professional, we expect them to exercise due diligence throughout any procedures or conditions we may be experiencing. This includes properly monitoring our state of health to ensure everything is going as planned – and that if complications arise, they can act quickly to remedy that situation.
Unfortunately, in some cases, this does not occur – and patients often find themselves not properly taken care of during pregnancy, a medical procedure, or other health conditions. Inadequate monitoring of a medical situation can lead to serious, sometimes fatal, consequences.
If you or a loved one has suffered due to inadequate monitoring by a doctor in Michigan, please contact the Buchanan firm today to discuss your case. You may be eligible to secure a significant recovery for your damages as a result of the doctor’s negligence with the help of our Grand Rapids injury attorneys.

If a patient who requires constant medical attention is not receiving the attention they deserve, serious consequences can occur. These include:
If you are pregnant and you or your child are harmed due to inadequate monitoring by a medical professional, please contact our Michigan birth injury lawyers.
