Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Michigan

Medical Default Judgement Appeal and Malpractice

A hospital sued me for money they say a owe following an operation (my insurance paid most of it). But the hospital was negligent, I didn't sue them because I was ill. They got a default judgement against me, I was ill and couldn't afford an attorney. Is there any way I can appeal the judgement and countersue them? I have a month before the statue of limitaitons expires to sue them for negligence.

Re: Medical Default Judgement Appeal and Malpractice

Yes, it may be possible to have the judgment set aside if it would serve justice. However, the judgment should be less than a year old.

Also, you do not have to have the judgment set aside in order to commence a medical malpractice suit. Call me for additional information.

Good luck.
