Medical Malpractice

We trust doctors and health care providers to heal us and to maintain our levels of health. However, when doctors are negligent or reckless with their knowledge, medical malpractice suits can arise. Each year, Minnesotans are injured or even killed by doctors who prescribe the wrong medication, provide inadequate or incorrect treatments, or ignore serious symptoms. Medical errors, despite their name, are often highly preventable. In many cases, they are caused by:

• poor communication between physicians and their staff
• a physician or health care worker’s decision not to listen to a patient
• recklessness or negligence
• inadequate checking of medical conditions, symptoms, or drug reactions
• poor handwriting, leading to confusion about prescription amounts or doses

If you or a loved one have been injured as result of medical negligence, the consequences can be long term. Many people who suffer from negligence or recklessness at the hands of a physician suffer from permanent injuries, complications of an existing condition, or serious side effects. If you have trusted a physician with your well-being and have actually become more ill as a result, Minnesota law protects you.

Under Minnesota law, you have the right to file a medical malpractice lawsuit. Filing a medical malpractice lawsuit ensures that you have the necessary compensation to pay for adequate medical care. If you have been injured as a result of a physician’s or health care provider’s negligence you need to know your legal rights. Medical malpractice lawsuits are complex and require testimony from qualified experts. In many cases you may need to sue more than one doctor or medical facility.
