Illinois Medical Malpractice Lawyer Levin & Perconti HomeIllinois Medical Malpractice Attorney Information Center
Medical malpractice occurs when a medical professional deviates from the accepted norms of practice, resulting in either an affirmative act or omission which results in injury to a patient. As a result, the injured patient—and sometimes their family—can bring a claim against the medical professional—and sometimes the facility or hospital that they work at—for damages, including medical costs, any lost wages, pain and suffering, and related damages.
Were you injured as a result of a medical professional's mistakes? Do you believe that your doctor, nurse, nurse's assistance, dentist, or other health care worker caused you harm? If so, you likely have questions about your potential legal rights.
We created the Illinois Medical Malpractice Attorney Information Center to help answer some of your initial questions and concerns about the legal process. Our medical malpractice attorneys know that navigating the legal system can at first seem overwhelming. We hope the information provided in these pages helps to take some of the mystery out of the process.
