When choosing an attorney for your birth injury lawsuit, it is crucial to choose a law firm that has achieved consistent results for their clients in birth injury cases. It is important for medical malpractice attorneys to have a strong knowledge of complex medical issues to truly understand the potential negligence at hand. Our birth injury attorneys have handled a number of lawsuits on behalf of clients suffering from serious birth injuries, and through this experience we have come to understand the causes, symptoms and proper treatments for a variety of birth injuries. This wealth of medical knowledge allows us to identify negligent action in a birth injury matter.

The statute of limitations sets forth the maximum amount of time that a person has to bring legal action against a negligent healthcare provider after an injury occurs. In Illinois, the statute of limitations for medical malpractice involving minors under the age of 18 is 8 years, with no action allowed after a person reaches 22 years of age. Therefore, families have 8 years to take legal action after an injury occurs at birth.
