Minneapolis Medical Malpractice Lawyers & Attorneys

Medical malpractice is the failure of a medical professional to act as a reasonable and prudent medical expert would so act under similar circumstances. As patients, we trust that our doctors, nurses, surgeons, and medical professionals are ethical, properly trained, and a trustworthy solution for our medical issues. Yet, despite these expectations, medical professionals continue to make mistakes. When mistakes are made, the effects can be devastating.

Medical Malpractice can happen in many different situations and through many different actions, including:

• infection due to an unhealthy hospital environment;
• surgical mistakes and anesthesia errors;
• misdiagnosis or failure to properly diagnose;
• unreasonable delay in treating a medical condition;
• giving a patient the wrong medication or dose;
• hospital negligence, such as poor training policies.

If you or a loved one has been harmed due to an act of malpractice by a doctor, surgeon, or other medical professional, you have the right to bring a medical malpractice claim. You may be entitled to damages for physical and mental pain and suffering, loss of income, reimbursement of medical expenses, and loss of enjoyment of life by bringing a claim for medical malpractice against those who provided negligent care. In some circumstances, the patient may also be able to recover punitive damages.

According to the National Academy of Sciences, approximately 98,000 Americans die from "medical mistakes" each year. Medical malpractice is the sixth leading cause of death in the United States, ahead of diabetes, pneumonia, Alzheimer's disease, and renal disease.
