When healthcare providers make preventable errors, the results can be life-changing. At Knutson + Casey, we represent patients in Mankato who have suffered serious harm due to medical negligence. Whether you’ve experienced a surgical mistake, misdiagnosis, or inadequate hospital care, our legal team is here to hold the responsible parties accountable and help you seek full compensation.
Medical malpractice occurs when a doctor, nurse, or other provider fails to meet the standard of care required in their field, and that failure results in patient harm. Common examples include:
Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis
Surgical mistakes (wrong procedure or site errors)
Medication or prescription mix-ups
Errors with anesthesia administration
Birth injuries affecting the mother or newborn
Lack of informed consent before treatment
Our legal team investigates every detail of your case, working with medical experts to confirm malpractice occurred and that it caused your injury.
If you’ve been injured due to substandard medical care, you may be eligible for damages that include:
All related medical costs and future care needs
Lost wages or reduced earning ability
Pain, suffering, and emotional distress
Long-term disability or disfigurement
Loss of companionship or spousal support
Ongoing therapy or rehabilitation expenses
At Knutson + Casey, we build strong claims backed by economists, doctors, and vocational experts to make sure your damages are accurately and fully valued.
In most cases, you have four years from the date of the malpractice to file a lawsuit in Minnesota. However, if the injury isn’t discovered right away, the deadline may shift. The sooner you act, the better. Waiting too long could mean losing your right to recover any compensation.
Medical malpractice lawsuits are often complex and heavily contested. Common obstacles include:
Healthcare providers rarely admit to wrongdoing
Reviewing dense medical records and timelines
Needing expert medical testimony to prove negligence
Emotional and psychological toll on victims and families
Insurance companies downplaying the severity of your injuries
Knutson + Casey anticipates these tactics and prepares every case for aggressive negotiation—or trial, if necessary—so you don’t face these battles alone.
With decades of success in complex personal injury and malpractice cases, Knutson + Casey offers:
Local experience with Mankato hospitals and clinics
A network of trusted medical experts and legal investigators
Strategic litigation and negotiation approaches
Compassionate, hands-on support from your first call through final resolution
We understand how difficult this journey can be, and we’re committed to providing honest answers, focused representation, and results-driven advocacy.
If you or someone you love has been harmed by a medical provider’s error, you deserve answers—and justice. Contact Knutson + Casey to discuss your legal options in a free consultation. We’ll evaluate your case, explain the process, and fight to recover the full compensation you’re owed.
How do I know if I have a medical malpractice claim?
If a provider failed to meet professional care standards and you were harmed as a result, you may have a claim. We can review your records and consult independent experts.
Is expert testimony required in Minnesota?
Yes. State law requires a qualified expert to verify that malpractice occurred. Our firm handles all affidavit and filing requirements.
What’s the time limit for filing a lawsuit?
Most medical malpractice claims must be filed within four years, though timing can vary based on when the injury was discovered.
What does it cost to hire Knutson + Casey?
We work on a contingency basis. That means no upfront costs—you only pay us if we successfully recover compensation for you.
