Medical Malpractice
Medical malpractice occurs when medical negligence causes unnecessary injury or death to the patient. Medical malpractice often results in very serious injuries and/or death.
Recent studies show that over 90,000 deaths happen every year in hospitals as a result of medical negligence. (That is twice as many as die in car accidents!!!)
The attorneys at Schmidt Law Firm have an outstanding track record in representing the victims of medical malpractice, with successful results in excess of $1 million dollars and successful results — even against Mayo Clinic.
Under Minnesota law, medical negligence is defined as the improper treatment of a medical patient which is below the standard of care used by health care providers under similar circumstances. Accordingly, medical malpractice occurs when a doctor or other health care provider deviates from standard care and, through negligence or error, causes injury or death.
Medical malpractice cases can include birth injury, misdiagnoses of diseases or conditions, surgical complications due to error, sickness or death due to medication administration errors, and many other types of serious injury and wrongful death.
The Schmidt Law Firm has many years' experience in successfully handling medical malpractice cases, with jury verdicts, some in excess of $2,000,000. This track record includes wins against Mayo Clinic, a major drug company, and a major medical appliance company.
