Minnesota Medical Malpractice Attorney

Medical negligence, or medical malpractice as it is more commonly referred to, frequently results in devastating injuries or the death of a patient. National statistics have shown that medical errors kill between 48,000 and 100,000 persons each year. Medical malpractice in Minnesota may occur in a number of ways.

Examples Of Medical Malpractice Include:

• Failure to diagnose or the misdiagnosis of a disease or medical condition
• Delay in diagnosing or misdiagnosing a disease or medical condition
• Failure to provide appropriate treatment for a medical condition
• Unnecessary delay in treating a diagnosed medical condition
• Failure to obtain patient’s consent
• A surgical or anesthesia related mishap during an operation
• Medication administration errors

Medical malpractice is an area of law where the patient has been harmed by the actions or inactions of a doctor, nurse, hospital, clinic, psychologist, psychiatrist, therapist, chiropractor, nursing home or other medical provider. Medical negligence cases are complex and involve integrating law, medicine, and science. To prove a medical negligence case, a patient must show that:

• The healthcare provider acted negligently
• An injury occurred
• The negligent act played a substantial part in causing the injury or damage done to the patient

Proving a medical provider was negligent requires another doctor or health care provider to testify regarding the care given and that the care fell below accepted standards in the medical community. Since medical malpractice cases are complicated and are often defended vigorously, it is important to gather information early and work with a legal team that you feel comfortable with and trust.
