Medical Malpractice Representation in Rochester, Minnesota
Medical care is supposed to help you heal — not leave you facing new injuries, unanswered questions, or long-term consequences. When something goes wrong during treatment, it’s hard to know whether it was an unavoidable complication or a preventable error. That uncertainty is often what leads people to contact us.
Sandberg Haddon Law helps individuals and families in Rochester and Southeast Minnesota understand whether a medical error may be grounds for a malpractice claim. We look at what happened, whether the standard of care was met, and what your options look like moving forward.
These cases are complex and require careful investigation, but you don’t need to navigate that process alone.
What Counts as Medical Malpractice?
A medical malpractice claim may be possible when a healthcare provider fails to meet the accepted standard of care, resulting in injury or harm. Common situations include:
- Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis
- Surgical or procedural errors
- Medication or pharmacy mistakes
- Birth injuries
- Failure to monitor or respond to complications
- Errors during anesthesia or postoperative care
Not every bad outcome is malpractice, and not every mistake results in a claim. The first step is understanding the facts — both medical and legal.
How These Cases Work
Medical malpractice cases require expert review and detailed evidence. When we evaluate a case, we focus on:
Understanding what actually happened
Medical records, timelines, and treatment decisions matter. We help gather and analyze the information needed to understand whether the standard of care was breached.
Assessing the impact of the error
Some injuries resolve quickly; others create long-term health issues, financial strain, or permanent limitations. We look at the full picture.
Explaining the process clearly
Malpractice cases follow specific rules in Minnesota, including the need for expert affidavits. We explain each requirement so you know what to expect.
Honest guidance about whether to move forward
These cases take time and emotional energy. We give you a realistic assessment of the strengths and limitations of your case before any decisions are made.
What Compensation May Include
Depending on the situation, compensation may cover:
- Medical treatment and future care
- Lost wages or reduced earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Long-term or permanent disability
- Additional expenses caused by the provider’s error
We discuss what types of damages may apply in your specific case and how they are evaluated under Minnesota law.
