Your First Choice for Medical Litigation
|
BASED ON MEDICAL NEGLIGENCE
|
Usually medical malpractice is
based on medical negligence, which is when patients suffer harm directly caused when a medical institution or provider does
not follow the accepted standard of care. Medical errors without patient harm are not compensable.
Many complications and patients deaths are not due a substandard medical care and do not constitute medical negligence.

A MEDICAL EXPERT WITNESS IS NEEDED
|
Most medical malpractice cases in Minnesota will require the
opinion of an expert medical witness. Before a medical malpractice lawsuit can be filed in Minnesota, most cases will require
that a medical expert will be willing to sign an affidavit stating that the medical care was below the standard of care and
this directly caused the harm suffered by the patient. Since a confirmatory medical expert opinion is needed, it might
take some time for us to evaluate your case but we will expedite as much as possible getting back to you.
- To better understand the harm you have suffered, it would be preferable for you to send us your
information as requested in the CONTACT US page.
- Alternatively, you may mail your information
or call our firm at (612) 701-8797. If you leave us a message, please provide us with day and evening phone numbers since
we return many calls in the afternoon or evening.
- We will
request further information, e.g., medical records, as needed.
- THEN OUR FIRM WILL CONTACT YOU. We will need to review the information you provided and we will also check for a conflict
of interest. Once we agree to take your case, we will schedule a meeting at
a mutually convenient time to further discuss your case and do the necessary paperwork.
