Expert review is usually essential. Michigan generally requires an affidavit of merit with the complaint, signed by a qualifying healthcare professional and addressing specific medical and causation issues.

Michigan also has specific requirements governing who may testify about the applicable standard of care. Qualified medical expert opinions are often what connects the medical record to the legal questions.
