Medical Malpractice is one of the most common types of personal injury claims.  Medical malpractice occurs when a doctor, hospital, or other health care provider fails to adhere to the standard of care and a patient is injured or dies as a result of that failure.

​

Some of the most common types of medical malpractice claims include:

​

• Emergency Room Malpractice

• Sub-Standard Care

• Hospital Malpractice

• Surgical Errors

• Diagnostic Errors

• Anesthesia Errors

• Medication Errors

• Drug Interactions

• Adverse Reactions

• Unnecessary Medical Treatment or Procedures

​

If you or someone you love have been the victim of medical malpractice, you may be able to recover compensation for the following damages: medical expenses, lost wages, household services, pain and suffering, permanent disability, and disfigurement. Illinois currently does not have damage caps on medical malpractice or personal injury verdicts.

​

The statute of limitations to file a medical malpractice lawsuit in Illinois is generally two years from the incident.  The legal issues involved with a medical malpractice lawsuit are complex.  It is important to contact an attorney and schedule a consultation so that the attorney can help you understand your options.
