Minneapolis Lawyer: Doctor Error
We routinely place our lives and the welfare of our loved ones in the hands of doctors, nurses and hospital staff. We know they are highly trained professionals, we accept their advice, and we assume they will take all possible precautions against errors and mistakes.
Sadly, doctor errors do occur, and in some cases cause serious, permanent injury or death. Determining whether a physician’s mistake is medical malpractice or falls within the range of acceptable error is ultimately the responsibility of a judge or jury. An attorney with experience in physician negligence cases, and who has access to skilled investigators and medical experts can often predict the outcome of a case.
If someone you care for suffered a life-changing injury, or you lost a family member in the course of medical treatment, and you feel you were not told the whole story, you may well be correct. I believe you deserve to have your case evaluated by a lawyer with appropriate experience and resources. Please contact Cotter Law Office to arrange a free, confidential consultation.

I have extensive experience as a trial lawyer, and have achieved favorable results on behalf of clients with losses resulting from medical errors and other types of professional negligence. These are difficult and sensitive issues, but I feel I need to listen to your entire story before I can provide good information. When I understand your concerns and have seen patient records, I will explain whether I feel you have a case, whether further investigation is necessary to make that determination, and exactly what it will take to recover compensation for the physician’s negligence.

Do you suspect a medical error caused death or serious permanent injury?
If you feel there the mistake of a medical professional, clinic or hospital caused a wrongful death or serious injury, I suggest you speak with a medical malpractice lawyer at the first opportunity. The attorney will explain what actions you should take to protect your right to a claim. By hiring a lawyer as soon as possible, you allow your attorney maximum time to collect medical records, interview witnesses and take other actions necessary to identify critical points that will determine the outcome of the case.
