Minneapolis Medical Malpractice Attorney
Are You Victim of Medical Malpractice?
Under Minnesota law, when a patient is injured by the careless or intentional acts of a healthcare professional, including doctors, nurses, dentists or chiropractors, they may pursue a medical malpractice claim. If you or a family member has been harmed by a medical professional, our Minneapolis medical malpractice lawyers can help.
According to the National Academy of Science, up to 98,000 Americans die each year from preventable medical errors. In order for a malpractice claim to succeed, it must be shown that a professional's actions violated the standard of care found within the medical community. Our attorneys can help you prove the incorrect or negligent actions of a medical professional, making it possible for you to be awarded the maximum amount of compensation for your injuries.
Common Types of Malpractice Claims
Our Minneapolis medical malpractice attorneys handle a wide range of claims, including injuries or death arising from:
- Missed Diagnosis
- Delayed Diagnosis
- Surgical Injuries
- Lack of Informed Consent
- Anesthesia Errors
- Patient Neglect
- Nursing Home Abuse
- Birth Injuries
- Improper Treatment
- Prescription Errors
Under Minnesota's statute of limitations, a victim of medical malpractice must bring their claim within four years from the date of injury (or discovery of their injury). If the malpractice results in death to the patient, the decedent's heirs must bring an action within three years from the date of death. Notifying a lawyer in a timely fashion is important, as there are often investigations that are conducted when the conduct of a trusted medical professional is called into question.
Compensation Recoverable Under Minnesota Law
Minnesota law permits the recovery of damages for present and future medical bills, lost wages, pain, suffering and disfigurement in medical malpractice cases. If death occurred to the patient, the surviving family members may seek wrongful death damages - which include loss of companionship and support.
