What is a Medical Malpractice Lawsuit?
Medical malpractice lawsuits are brought against doctors, nurses, CNAs, dentists and other medical providers when someone is seriously injured or killed because of medical mistakes or carelessness. The purpose of a medical malpractice lawsuit is to hold wrongdoers accountable for their mistakes, and also to recover compensation to help pay for medical bills, lost wages, funeral costs, pain and suffering, and other expenses.
Who Can File a Medical Malpractice Claim?
Seriously injured victims and the families of those wrongfully killed due to a medical professional’s errors have the right to file a medical malpractice claim.
What is the Statute of Limitations for a Medical Malpractice Lawsuit in Illinois?
A statute of limitations is a deadline for filing a lawsuit. The statute of limitations varies, but generally a medical malpractice lawsuit in Illinois must be filed within two years of the date that the negligence occurred, or when the injured party knew/should have known, about the injury or negligence. Since statutes vary depending on the case, it is important to talk to an experienced medical malpractice lawyer who can help you determine the statute for your case. Attorneys need time to perform a thorough investigation before filing a medical malpractice case, so it is important to contact us as soon as you suspect negligence to ensure a proper investigation.
What Will a Medical Malpractice Lawsuit Cost Me?
We work on a contingency basis, meaning that a medical malpractice lawsuit will cost you nothing unless we recover compensation for you. Our attorneys receive a percentage of the amount recovered in a settlement or verdict. If we cannot help you recover damages, you owe us nothing. Therefore, there is no risk (and no cost) to call us to discuss your potential claim.
Medical negligence lawsuits often last several years and can be very expensive to pursue. A contingency basis allows us to represent people who may not be able to afford the costs associated with investigating and filing a lawsuit. Many of our clients have been injured due to medical mistakes and can no longer work or earn income, have accumulated many hospital bills, and cannot cover costs on their own. We have the resources to advance the costs of experts, court costs, medical records, and all other costs associated with filing a lawsuit.

Testimonials
Not only were they so professional but also so caring and thoughtful. It was very difficult going over the facts in our mother's case but they were so compassionate and understanding and allowed us to be with them every step of the way. We were able to sit in on the depositions and we were really able to see how hard they worked on our behalf.
