Medical Negligence Attorneys in Minneapolis-Saint Paul and the Twin Cities

Compassionate Representation in Medical Negligence Cases

At Hilliard Law, we have extensive experience handling complex medical negligence cases. We believe no victim should face the aftermath of medical malpractice alone, and we’re committed to helping clients recover the compensation they deserve. Our attorneys specialize in, but aren’t limited to, the areas below.

Birth Injuries

Birth injuries can result in lifelong challenges for both the child and their family. Our skilled Minneapolis-Saint Paul birth injuries lawyers represent families impacted by conditions like cerebral palsy, brachial plexus injuries, and complications caused by inadequate prenatal or delivery care.

Medical Malpractice

Medical errors, such as misdiagnoses or delayed treatment, can lead to significant physical, emotional, and financial burdens. Our attorneys are experienced in holding healthcare providers accountable for malpractice that harms patients.

Medication Errors

Prescription mistakes, including incorrect dosages or improper drug combinations, can have severe health consequences. Our team pursues compensation for those harmed by dangerous medication errors.

Unsafe Drug Trials

Clinical trials should follow the highest safety standards to protect participants. When companies or organizations fail to meet these standards, we fight for justice on behalf of affected individuals.

Surgical Mistakes

Errors during surgery can result in infections, organ damage, or worse. We assist clients in pursuing compensation for the pain, suffering, and financial harm caused by surgical errors.

Nursing Home Abuse

Families place their trust in nursing homes to care for their aging loved ones. When abuse or neglect occurs, we step in as compassionate advocates to ensure accountability and justice for elderly residents.

The Far-Reaching Effects of Medical Negligence

Medical negligence can have profound and lasting impacts on victims and their families, depending on the severity of the error and the circumstances. These effects often extend beyond physical harm, touching nearly every aspect of life. 

Physical Effects

• Injuries or Worsened Conditions – Negligence can result in new injuries or worsen existing health issues, such as infections, organ damage, or chronic pain.
• Disabilities – Errors like surgical mistakes or birth injuries can lead to permanent disabilities, including paralysis or developmental delays.
• Delayed Recovery – Misdiagnoses or delayed treatments can prolong recovery times or make conditions more difficult to treat.
• Death – In the most severe cases, medical negligence can tragically result in loss of life.

Emotional and Psychological Effects

• Emotional Trauma – Victims and their families often experience anxiety, depression, or PTSD as a result of the negligence.
• Loss of Trust – Many victims lose confidence in healthcare providers, making future medical care stressful and challenging.

Financial Effects

• Medical Bills – Additional treatments, surgeries, or long-term care can lead to overwhelming medical expenses.
• Lost Wages – Recovery time or permanent inability to work can create significant financial strain.
• Legal Costs – Pursuing justice through legal action can add financial pressure, though firms like Hilliard Law offer contingency fee arrangements to ease this burden.

Social and Family Effects

• Strain on Relationships – The stress of dealing with medical negligence can take a toll on family dynamics and personal relationships.
• Caregiving Burden – Family members may need to take on caregiving roles, disrupting their own lives and careers.
