When hospitals, doctors, or other medical professionals make preventable errors, the results can be catastrophic. At Knutson + Casey, we represent patients across Minneapolis who have suffered due to medical negligence. Whether it’s a botched surgery, delayed diagnosis, or hospital mismanagement, we fight to hold the responsible providers accountable and pursue the compensation you need to rebuild your life.
Medical malpractice happens when a healthcare provider fails to deliver the standard of care expected in their profession, resulting in harm to the patient. Common examples include:
Failure to diagnose or delays in diagnosis
Surgical mistakes, including wrong-site operations
Incorrect medication or dosage errors
Complications from improper anesthesia use
Birth injuries impacting the mother or child
Lack of proper informed consent before a procedure
Our legal team thoroughly investigates every case, consulting with independent medical experts to identify errors and link them to your injuries.
If you’ve been injured due to a healthcare provider’s negligence, you may be entitled to recover compensation for:
Medical bills and anticipated long-term treatment
Loss of earnings and future earning ability
Pain, suffering, and loss of enjoyment of life
Mental and emotional trauma
Permanent injury or loss of a loved one’s support
Costs of rehabilitation, therapy, or home care
Knutson + Casey works closely with a network of professionals—medical consultants, financial analysts, and vocational experts—to ensure your claim reflects the full scope of your losses.
Minnesota law typically gives victims up to four years from the date of the medical mistake to file a malpractice claim. If the injury wasn’t immediately obvious, this window may adjust. Acting promptly is crucial—delaying your claim could jeopardize your right to recover.
These cases are among the most complex in civil litigation. Victims frequently encounter the following hurdles:
Denial of fault from hospitals or providers
Dense and difficult-to-interpret medical records
The need for certified expert testimony to support your claim
The emotional toll of revisiting a traumatic experience
Insurance companies pushing for fast, low settlements
At Knutson + Casey, we build powerful, well-documented claims and shield you from the legal and emotional strain as much as possible.

How do I know if I have a malpractice case?
If a medical provider didn’t meet the standard of care and you suffered harm as a result, you may have a valid claim. Our team will review your records and consult with experts.
Is expert testimony necessary?
Yes. In Minnesota, you need expert medical testimony to confirm that malpractice occurred. We manage this process and connect you with qualified professionals.
How long do I have to sue for malpractice?
Generally, four years—but the timeline can vary depending on when the injury became known. It’s best to contact an attorney as soon as possible.
