Medical Malpractice / Professional Negligence

Of all the lawsuits pending throughout this country few are as complex, intellectually demanding and as highly contested as Medical Malpractice lawsuits. Every day negligent medical care in the State of Minnesota results in patients suffering injuries, unforeseen outcomes and wrongful-death. A high percentage of these cases are directly attributable to acts of medical negligence or misconduct on the part of a doctor, physician, surgeon, nurse, hospital, hospital staff, nursing home, nursing home staff, or other health care provider.

It is not uncommon for an act of medical negligence to go undiscovered. Often a patient or family member that suspects an act of medical malpractice has occurred has been reassured by a doctor, nurse, hospital or even a friend or colleague that everything possible was done in their case. While many times this may be true - many times it is not. Our Minnesota Medical Malpractice attorneys are adept at uncovering incidents of medical malpractice after our clients have given us the opportunity to investigate their underlying suspicions, review their medical records and act on their behalf.

Medical malpractice lawsuits arise under the following circumstances:

1. when a medical specialist departs from an accepted standard of care in that field of medicine.
2. when a physician or hospital fails to properly or timely diagnose or treat a medical condition.
3. when a physician or hospital fails to perform surgery properly.
4. when a physician or hospital during the general practice of medicine deviates from the generally accepted standard of care in the community.
5. when a hospital has inadequate sanitation, administers improper doses or overdoses of medication, engages in negligent nursing care, or has equipment failure.
6. when a physician or hospital fails to obtain the informed consent of the patient before performing a procedure or operation.
7. when a nursing home or long-term care facility fails to properly care for, monitor, aid, or treat its patients and residents.
