Minnesota Medical Malpractice Claims
If you have been the victim of medical malpractice, you need to contact a Minnesota medical malpractice lawyer as soon as possible to protect your legal rights and remedies. If a Minnesota medical malpractice lawsuit is not filed within a certain period of time (within the statute of limitations), the malpractice claim is barred regardless of its merit. Another issue is the expert affidavit. Before commencement of a medical malpractice lawsuit, the party bringing the claim must provide a written document signed by a medical expert confirming that medical malpractice was committed and that it was a direct cause of the claimant's injuries. The format and timing of the affidavit are critical.
