Medical Malpractice

Southern Minnesota Medical Malpractice Lawyers

Nearly everyone trusts medical professionals to help heal injuries. Unfortunately, the carelessness and negligence of doctors, nurses, anesthesiologists, or emergency room staff causes thousands of injuries every year. At Plunkett and Associates, Inc. in Austin, Minnesota, we are committed to helping people injured by substandard medical care obtain optimal compensation for their injuries.

Experienced Medical Malpractice Lawyers

Proving medical malpractice is complicated. Not all bad outcomes are the result of physician errors. To reach the level of a compensable medical malpractice injury, an injury must be caused by a breach in the standard of care that should reasonably have been provided by a medical professional. In addition, the breach of the standard of care must cause the damages complained of. Prior to filing a medical malpractice lawsuit, an expert in the field must sign an affidavit of expert review stating that there was a deviation from the accepted standard of care and that the injuries were the result of the deviation from the standard of care.

Our attorneys have extensive experience helping people show that their injuries resulted from doctor's errors. We work with a number of highly regarded medical professionals to get our cases certified prior to filing a medical malpractice lawsuit. Our firm is prepared to handle medical malpractice cases of almost any type, including those involving birthing errors, misdiagnosis, failure to diagnose, improper anesthesia procedures, emergency room errors, and surgical errors.

Injuries caused by medical malpractice have a significant impact on the victims as well as their families. Once a case is certified, insurance companies are often willing to make a reasonable settlement offer. When they are not, our attorneys have the skill and resources to prepare a medical malpractice case and bring it to trial. Our firm is committed to providing the southern Minnesota communities we serve with the finest medical malpractice representation available anywhere in the state.
