Whether it’s a misdiagnosis, surgical error, or negligence in a hospital setting, we fight to hold healthcare providers accountable and pursue the compensation you deserve.
Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider fails to follow accepted standards of care, resulting in harm to the patient.

In most cases, Minnesota allows up to four years from the date of injury to file a medical malpractice claim. However, exceptions apply in some cases—especially when injuries are not immediately discovered. Don’t delay—consulting an attorney early ensures you don’t miss key deadlines or lose access to critical evidence.
Medical malpractice claims are among the most complex personal injury cases. Victims often face significant challenges when pursuing justice, including:
Denying Fault: Healthcare providers and their insurers rarely admit wrongdoing. Hospitals often have legal teams ready to dispute liability.
Complex Medical Evidence: Proving malpractice requires expert testimony, detailed medical records, and a clear link between the provider’s actions and your injury.
Emotional Toll: For many clients, reliving the trauma of a medical injury while fighting a legal battle adds stress to an already difficult situation.
Insurance Company Tactics: Insurers may downplay your injury or offer lowball settlements in hopes you’ll accept less than what you’re truly owed.
At Knutson+Casey, we anticipate these challenges and build strong, evidence-backed cases to overcome them. From securing medical experts to managing all negotiations, we focus on making the process as smooth and supportive as possible for you.
