Hallberg & McClain is dedicated to providing the highest quality legal representation to individuals and their families. The descriptions below outline the primary areas of our practice. To review the merits of your potential claim, please contact us to discuss your specific circumstances.

Medical Malpractice / Medical Negligence
Medical error caused by negligent care can result in severe consequences for patients and their families. At Hallberg & McClain, we represent patients in medical malpractice cases. Medical malpractice, also referred to as medical negligence, occurs when a patient is harmed or injured as a direct result of medical or nursing care that fails to meet an accepted standard of care under the circumstances.

At Hallberg & McClain, we vigorously pursue claims where there is substantial evidence of below standard care resulting in significant damages. We have successfully handled hundreds of cases in virtually every specialty of medicine including obstetrics, neurology, orthopedics, surgery, internal medicine, infectious disease, gastroenterology, cardiology, radiology, family practice and emergency medicine. We have access to respected and objective board-certified medical experts in all areas of medicine and nursing to help us review potential claims and testify in court about their opinions.

Car / Truck Negligence
Injuries or death caused by car and truck crashes can have a sudden and devastating impact on the lives of individuals and their families. At Hallberg & McClain, we have extensive experience in evaluating, negotiating and trying cases arising out of the negligent operation of motor vehicles.

We have successfully obtained multi-million dollar settlements for severely injured victims of motor vehicle negligence, and we have the trial skills and medical knowledge to effectively present your case to a mediator, arbitrator, judge and jury. Our experience can help you and your family receive full and fair compensation for your injuries.

Medical Device / Drug Products Liability
Occasionally, defects in medical devices such as pacemakers or orthopedic devices, or a manufacturer's failure to warn about drug side effects or drug interactions, can cause substantial harm, or even death, to a patient. At Hallberg & McClain, we carefully review medical device and drug product liability claims and vigorously pursue cases where there is evidence of a product defect or a failure to warn of important information.

If you believe that you or a family member has been harmed by a medical device or a prescription drug, please contact us today.

Wrongful Death
A "wrongful death action" is brought by the family of a person who has died as a result of another's negligent conduct. Wrongful death actions can arise in virtually all areas of human activity. For example, when a person is killed as a result of the negligent operation of a car or truck, it is appropriate for the family to bring a wrongful death action against the negligent driver. Similarly, if a physician or nurse is negligent in failing to provide medical care that meets an accepted standard of care under the circumstances, it is appropriate for the family to pursue fair and just compensation through a wrongful death action.

In Minnesota, and most states, a wrongful death action must be commenced, or brought, by a court-appointed trustee for the heirs and next-of-kin. At Hallberg & McClain, we have significant experience and are knowledgeable about the laws and procedures that apply to wrongful death actions. We are also skilled at capturing the important details of a person's life, so that we can effectively tell the story about how the loss has affected the remaining family members.

Personal Injury
A "personal injury claim" is a broad description of any claim for compensation arising out of injuries caused by the negligence of another person. The negligent operation of a car or truck, negligent medical care or a defective product or drug can result in a personal injury claim.

At Hallberg & McClain, we have had handled hundreds of personal injury claims in a broad range of areas. Please contact us today to help us assess your personal injury claim and obtain fair compensation for your injuries, loss of earnings, medical expenses and other items of damage.
